I&#8217;m not convinced until now that is a process which can be done in the next 10-15 years,\u201d<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stated Schmid as he noted that autonomous technology would cause \u201chuge, huge challenges for our legal systems.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the root of this problem is not whether an automobile can navigate or steer itself, as infrared laser, optical camera, and low power radar systems are already used by existing models to detect and avoid potential collisions, but rather which party would be responsible if an accident, even one not caused by the autonomous vehicle, did occur. \u00a0There are also, as roboticists have noted, ethical questions that might arise when such a car is forced to choose between multiple undesired courses of action. \u00a0Still, Schmid is \u201c100% certain that this (technology) will be part of future products.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast, Bosch, the well known German electronic car part supplier, has concluded that \u2018highway pilots\u2019, which can take over all driving tasks and only occasionally need human intervention, will be ready by 2020, while fully integrated autopilot systems may be ready for regular consumer use by 2025. \u00a0This is if, as Schmid notes, a legal framework for autonomous cars exists by then.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To a certain extent, however, the forebears of autonomous cars are already among us, even on the lot at Rosen Hyundai of Algonquin. \u00a0The 2016 model of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rosenhyundai.com\/new-inventory\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">new Hyundai<\/a> Equus, for example, comes equipped with a revolutionary Smart Cruise Control (SCC) system that has start\/stop functionality. \u00a0While driving on cruise control, the SCC system uses a safe, low power radar to detect cars that may be on the road ahead of the Equus. \u00a0As they change speeds or road conditions cause the Equus to close in on them, the SCC adjusts acceleration and braking so that a driver-selected safe distance between the two vehicles is maintained. \u00a0If the preceding car suddenly stops, the SCC will automatically activate the brakes so that the Equus comes to a stop in a controlled fashion and at an appropriate distance. \u00a0The end result is highway driving that is made more secure by reduced reaction times to sudden events and the avoidance of scenarios where drivers accidentally crowd each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Blue Link\u00ae<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">telematics system that\u2019s standard on the 2016 Hyundai Equus, 2016 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rosenhyundai.com\/new-inventory\/index.htm?listingConfigId=auto-new&amp;year=&amp;model=Sonata&amp;bodyStyle=&amp;internetPrice=&amp;start=0&amp;sort=&amp;facetbrowse=true&amp;searchLinkText=SEARCH&amp;showFacetCounts=true&amp;showRadius=false&amp;showSubmit=true&amp;showSelections=true\" target=\"_blank\">Hyundai Sonata<\/a>, and several other models, including the 2016 Elantra Limited, also has autonomous features, though it does not control the automobile without human input. \u00a0In the event of a collision, for instance, it will automatically alert first responders, while its diagnostic system automatically generates a monthly maintenance and performance report that can be emailed to the driver\u2019s personal devices. \u00a0Though not \u2018robotic\u2019<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the absolute sense, Blue Link\u00ae<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nevertheless takes over several tasks that were once manually done and, in so doing, makes life easier and safer for Hyundai drivers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, no matter when fully autonomous cars hit the road, the takeaway for the average driver is that partially autonomous systems that significantly boost safety and reliability already exist in cars that can be purchased from Rosen Hyundai today. \u00a0To learn more about these and other features, call our sales professionals at 888-757-5628. \u00a0They\u2019re eager to discuss how these and other intriguing advances can make every family\u2019s driving experience more rewarding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From search and rescue drones to robots that can assist the elderly in nursing homes, the promise of autonomous technology seems to have finally leapt off the pages of science fiction and into reality,&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":133,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.7.1 -
