The automotive industry was one of the key industries affected by the economic downturn in 2008 (global sales 68.1 million units) and 2009 (global sales 65.4 million units). However, the scenario has changed since 2010 with global sales estimated at 74.6 million units. This upward trend continued in 2011 and 2012.
The present global demand for automobiles is increasing at a significant rate, indicating the pace at which the industry is heading out of the recovery phase. As stated in the recent publication of Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d' Automobiles (OICA), global vehicle sales in 2012 reached 81.7 million units, of which, passenger car sales were 60.5 million units. With the escalation in vehicle numbers, there is an increase in road accidents, casualties, and deaths. In addition, the increase in the global vehicle fleet is increasing exhaust emissions and thereby greenhouse gases (GHGs), thus challenging environmental regulations.
According to the WHO's Global Status Report on Road Safety 2013, the total number of deaths due to road accidents was 1.24 million per year. This has diverted the focus of governments and automobile manufacturers towards R&D of the near-autonomous and autonomous car features/systems. Government agencies are studying various vehicle safety features for their feasibility, some of which could be included as mandates in the upcoming safety regulations across the world. Automobile manufacturers have begun to focus on the manufacture of passenger cars installed with advanced safety features. Investments in the R&D centers, collaborations with the technology manufacturers and the launch of new passenger cars with default safety features are indicative of the same.
The autonomous vehicle is any vehicle capable of sensing the external environment with the help of technological systems installed (such as GPS-Satellite, mobile infrastructure, data from other cars or roadside features etc.) and navigate the car to the desired destination with minimal human intervention. They are also known as driverless cars or self-driving cars, informally. The vehicle automation involves multidisciplinary streams of engineering such as mechanical, electrical, control and computer in combination with artificial intelligence.
