Driverless cars can provide the options of car-pooling. We can now dream of less congested roads, better traffic regulation in cities, environment-friendly cars and better health and lifestyle of people.”
Wired publishes The Power of Incremental Innovation
“Numerous breakthrough innovations have improved our lives in significant and profound ways. However, these developments often started with a basic platform which provided an initial framework for additional innovations and improvements. Once these ideas were further improved and enhanced, the path was paved to enable their widespread use and subsequent monetization of these innovations. These incremental improvements often hold the key to mass adoption.”

It was not about the iPhone, or iPad; not even the MacBook.”

Gesture-based technologies will help in development of driverless cars
“A situation that necessitates the driver to take his eyes off the road while driving can be termed as a distraction. This includes accessing the car infotainment system. One way to minimise these distractions is by providing non-contact interaction between hard controls through the introduction of technology that converts gesture movements into electrical signals. As this does not require the driver to look for buttons, there will be no need to take his eyes off the road. […] It is much more robust to use gesture-based systems than to fiddle with mechanical switches. This system reduces the manufacturing cost, as the infra-red sensors are relatively cheaper than the mechanical switches. In addition, the life of IR sensors is more than the mechanical switches. Replacement of impaired IR sensors is also easier.”
