AUTONOMOUS CARS

Ovim radom se proučuju autonomna vozila te se ukazuje na njihove mogućnosti i primjenu. Autonomno vozilo je vozilo koje može voziti od točke A do točke B bez ljudske intervencije. Smatra se da autonomna vozila imaju potencijal transformacije transportne industrije, istovremeno eliminirajući nesreće, no sve ovisi o načinu uporabe. Autonomna tehnologija trenutno je daleko od gotovog proizvoda, potrebne su još godine usavršavanja, implementacije i istraživanja kako bi proizvod bio što pouzdaniji i sigurniji. Stoga, ovaj rad, u svojoj suštini, izdvaja i razmatra mogućnosti primjene autonomne tehnologije. Naglasak rada je na proučavanju autonomne tehnologije i njenu primjenu na automobile, njen razvoj kroz vrijeme te njenu dostupnost na tržištu. Rad je koncipiran u nekoliko cjelina. U uvodu je ukratko opisan razvoj autonomne tehnologije i njena primjena te je definiran pojam autonomnog vozila. U drugoj cjelini nalazi se pregled autonomnih vozila kroz povijest. Treća cjelina bavi se prednostima i nedostacima autonomnih vozila. Četvrta cjelina definira razine autonomnosti vozila. Peta cjelina ukazuje na tehničke aspekte autonomnosti i tehnologije koje se upotrebljavaju. Šesta cjelina definira položaj autonomnih vozila danas. Sedma cjelina proučava budućnost autonomnih vozila. Na kraju dan je zaključak o položaju autonomnih vozila danas, njihovoj uporabi te budućnosti samovozećih vozila.This paper explores autonomous vehicles and points to their potential and application. An autonomous vehicle is a vehicle that can drive from point A to point B without human intervention. It is considered that autonomous vehicles have the potential to transform the transport industry while simultaneously eliminating accidents, but it all depends on how we use them. This technology is currently far from being a finished product, it takes years of implementation and research to make the product as reliable and safe. Therefore, this paper, in its essence, outlines and discusses the possibilities of applying autonomous technology. The emphasis of this paper is on the study of autonomous technology and its application in vehicles, its development through time and its availability on the market. The paper has been split into several units. The introduction briefly describes the development of autonomous technology and its application and defines the concept of an autonomous vehicle. In the second part is an overview of autonomous vehicles through the history. The third part deals with the advantages and disadvantages of autonomous vehicles. The fourth unit defines the levels of autonomy. The fifth unit explains the technical aspect of autonomy and the technology behind it. The sixth unit defines the position of autonomous vehicles today in the market. The seventh unit is a study of the future of autonomous vehicles. At the end of the paper is the conclusion about the position of autonomous vehicles today, their use and the future of autonomous vehicles
