Abstract:

Autonomous cars are the future smart cars anticipated to be driver less, efficient and crash avoiding ideal urban car of the future. To reach this goal automakers have started working in this area to realized the potential and solve the challenges currently in this area to reach the expected outcome. In this regard the first challenge would be to customize and imbibe existing technology in conventional vehicle to translate them to a near expected autonomous car. This transition of conventional vehicles into an autonomous vehicle by adopting and implementing different upcoming technologies is discussed in this paper. This includes the objectives of autonomous vehicles and their implementation difficulties. The paper also touches upon the existing standards for the same and compares the introduction of autonomous vehicles in Indian market in comparison to other markets. There after the acceptance approach in Indian market scenarios is discussed for autonomous vehicles.

Motivation

Millions of people have lost their lives or have become physically disabled worldwide in past many years as a consequence of traffic accidents. This has given the motivation to go for an Autonomous vehicle as almost most of the traffic accidents are caused by human mistakes. According to statistics, in the next 10 years the number of lives claimed by traffic accidents each year likely to be double. [15] Page 1 of 6

As per WHO about 1. 24 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes. [16]

Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death among young people, aged 15–29 years. [16]

Half of those dying on the world's roads are “vulnerable road users”: pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. [16]

Without action, road traffic crashes are predicted to result in the deaths of around 1.9 million people annually by 2020. [16]

Most influential autonomous cars companies [18]

Road fatalities per capita (fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants per year). [17]
