| LPU steps in driverless car era through its engineering students | | | Early Times Report
JALANDHAR, May 21: For years, all of us have been hearing predictions about the Driverless cars of the future which may be driven from thousands of miles away, only through clicks and programming.
Lovely Professional University (LPU) has stepped in towards the same, through the strenuous tasks of its engineering students, to prove this all to the people around. In this regard, in the first phase, four students of Electronics & Communication and Mechanical Engineering utilized their knowledge of advances in wireless communications technology, under the guidance of their mentors from LPU, and have successfully designed a Car that can be controlled from a mobile phone, sitting at any part of the world.
The car is pliable on both the auto and manual modes and has safety provisions as well, like child-lock while being on auto mode. No one else, sitting next to steering, can drive it of own, until occupant of the car go for possible two-way communication with the remote seated operator and request to do so. The quoted car, which can be commanded well for day as well as night vision, has also been successfully tested for 1000+ kilometers' driving.
On this success of the students, the Chancellor of LPUAshok Mittal said: "It is indeed a different kind of automotive experience. This project is pioneer in the automobile industry and probably can give new dimensions to how people can commute." he added "The future cars using a wide variety of sensors would be easily able to detect pedestrians, objects which will allow the car to slow or stop suddenly. As a computer is far more precise and subject to far fewer errors than a human, accident rates will nose-dive when these vehicles become available to consumers." |
