AdamSmith Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 Update... The Future Is Now Several original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), technology companies, and universities already have pilot projects under way or on the launch pad to test varying levels of self-driving capability. A number of near-term rollouts have been reported or announced. For example: Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz now sells a system that can pilot a car on a freeway, but its design requires the driver to keep a hand on the wheel. By 2016, the company plans to introduce Autobahn Pilot, which will allow hands-free highway driving with autonomous overtaking of other vehicles. Tesla Motors plans to offer hands-free highway driving in its Model S electric sedans in 2015. General Motors will offer Super Cruise in a new 2016 Cadillac sedan. The system will allow the car to automatically keep its lane, autonomously trigger braking, and control speed. Volkswagen’s Audi unit intends to roll out technology to enable autonomous driving in urban traffic around 2016. Also in the 2016 time frame, Mobileye plans to launch, with two partner OEMs, the first hands-free-capable driving at highway speeds and in congested traffic situations.
