Whenever we talk about this type of cars, am sure you understand we mean cars that doesn't need any human being to operate or drive them.

How The Car Works (The Basics)
Basically, this Honda car operate without human input. The testbed you are seeing above the car is packed with various cameras, sensors, and AI algorithms. This amazing car utilizes a radar and laser to detect potential road obstacles on the road and avoid them. This is made possible through the intelligence of the powerful cameras which scans the objects on the road to ascertain if they’re pedestrians, cars, or, any other objects.

After detecting what is on the road, the information will now be relayed to the to the several GPUs and CPUs inside the car, (remember these processes takes place in seconds) then the information will tell the vehicle what next to do like controlling of the brake and steering to any direction as if a human being is controlling it.

At the moment, the company doesn't have official permit to test run the car on a real Road so they chose to carry out the test in an abandoned park in California.
You can watch the video of the car in action below

First Nigerian Assembled Toyota Vehicle Unveiled In Lagos, See Pictures

The first ever Nigerian Assembled Toyota Hiace bus was unveiled today in Lagos State, Nigeria by Toyota to kick-start the era of vehicle production and assembling in full force.

It is worthy to note that this is not the first car or bus to be produced or Assembled in Nigeria because there is a very powerful car assembling industry in the Eastern part of the country owned by Innoson but this particular one tagged first in Nigeria because it is a Toyota product.

You can recall that Toyota Nigeria last year made clear of its plan to establish a vehicle assembly plant in this part of the African continent to join Nissan, Ford, Kia, Peugeot and a host of other auto firms already assembling vehicles locally in Nigeria.

According to the statement by the managing Director, Toyota Nigeria, Mr. Kunle Ade-Ojo, "the new Hiace was assembled in the company’s plant in Lagos, built with 30,000-unit production capacity every year".

The Hiace, "he said, was assembled as a test case, adding that the organization would soon begin its mass production".

Am still waiting to see our top government officials using made in Nigeria cars though the president himself have some to himself.

Let's support made in Nigeria stuffs to strengthen our economy.

See Pictures Of How Future BMW Car Will Look Like

Sometimes I seat down and think about how this world would look like in near future. Though most of my thoughts are more centered on electronic gadgets because am addicted to them but just yesterday, I was thinking of how the future cars would look like. I thought about sports cars and all purpose vehicles. What are the features we will see in the next 20 years.

I went online to search for related stuff's on future cars and just like I imagined, BMW have already mapped out the concept of their future car so am here to share few stuffs we are going to see from the amazing BMW car.

BOOST AND EASE MODE
The car will have boost mode which is another term as manual driven mode while the ease mode is automatically driven.
Whenever the driver clicks on the “ease mode,” the interior completely transforms its shape and the steering wheel will be taken away from the driver automatically.

Alive Geometry
The new BMW ultra modern car will utilize 800 triangles that will navigate around to communicate and share information directly with the driver. This will make it recognize when the real driver is on the wheels. It can use this feature to track a thief and send signal to the car owner. Reporting the actual location of the car and snaps a picture of the person trying to take the car away.

Absence Of Steering
When you enter ease mode, everything will be computerised. Nothing like manual again including steering. You will only be talking to the car to move to any position you want it to move or you can use the option of pressing buttons as if you are playing a racing game on your phone.

So guys. This is just a glimpse of what we gonna see from this device. I hope Nigerians and those from Singapore will like to flex this car when its actually produced.
In the world of technology, you can't just predict what is next on the cards.
