Cars of the near future: electric cars — our personal transport

in #science7 years ago

In our lives persistently break new cars with engines running on electricity. TelsaMotors recently announced the release of a new Model 3, is designed for the budget consumer. This suggests that electric cars are increasingly occupy a place in the industry of private vehicles. But if you look closely to the innovations of the automobile industry, the external and internal design of them differs little from traditional vehicles. So what we will see and car autosphere in the near future? Will they or about drastic changes too early to say? After a hundred years of cars, they have not experienced significant engineering design or innovation.

The change of the road traffic system. The task of the car is freedom of movement, reducing the cost of travel time, convenience and personal comfort. With the emergence of on-road electric cars with their smart software, it is likely that the principles of construction and organization of the road system will be different. Signs and markings, which must respond the driver or the Autonomous car is fading, replaced by a system management performing the control and regulation of all traffic processes using artificial intelligence.

An increase in the degree of autonomy of the vehicles. Cars today are trying to do is not only environmentally friendly but also more Autonomous.

Here's how progressive degree of autonomy of electric cars:

The level of "handsoff" or level 2 – the driver sits behind the wheel and watches the device and control.
The level of "eyesoff", илиlevel 3 – the driver is able to partially operate the machine.
The level of "mindoff", илиlevel 4-4+ — the driver may not be in the car but the lever control is still there in the cabin.
Level or level 5 – no electric controls, its movement is controlled by artificial intelligence.
Interior design of the salon was transformed from a place of control and movement in the home or office on wheels. The ability to assign driving support intelligence will allow you to create inside working or lounge space. The offset motor parts, change fuel tanks on the battery, the disappearance of the dashboard in the conventional sense, open to creativity of designers and constructors. Comfort, rationality, and efficiency – all in the hands of the creators of the engineers.
External restyling today obey the laws of safety, and rules on lighting. If the car switches to Autonomous control system and under the leadership of artificial intelligence, all these requirements can be laid upon the shelf. Because AI won't allow cars to face, will protect pedestrians and their passengers. The exterior can change beyond recognition.

Transport infrastructure will be forced to obey the new rules, requirements and possibilities. Gas stations, fuel centers and other components of the road will also undergo significant changes.
The cycle of creation/processing needs to achieve the ideal 100% result when you not will need to use in the process of creating or disposing of waste fossil resources. Now, scientists have calculated that at the current growth rate of the automotive industry, natural reserves will last another 70 years.

The evolution of the gas station and the roadway. To sustain the electric vehicle requires recharging. Therefore, talking about petrol or gas filling stations. They will be replaced by an induction charger. Already developed several versions of the energy production units during their movement. Individual smart ecological vehicles on their own to find Parking spaces and gas stations. Last – in microwave panels – already tested. Maybe special transmitters will be embedded in the road surface, charging the battery moving equipment as necessary at the moment of movement.

In world, more attention is paid to the development of Autonomous electric vehicles and other transport future, for example such as a flying drone-taxi. Germany plans to replace cars with internal combustion engines to electric vehicles, beginning in 2030. California began developing new regulations on the use of Autonomous (without driver with AI) cars. It will happen in the next 3-4 years. And then it comes the future of road transport.
