Autonomous & Driverless car domains

RE: Autonomous & Driverless car domains

Seems like there's a lot of news lately, as recently as the last few days, of advances in driverless & autonomous cars. There are multiple auto makers getting ready to launch some form of these cars, and of course, Google is working on their project car.

I have a handful of domains related to this news & technology, and I am wondering if anybody else has any? Also, any spike in traffic to your domains, or news of sales???

Self-DrivingShuttle(s)

Will we see self-driving shuttle buses before self-driving cars?
Navya's Arma bus could serve as a stepping stone to autonomous transport

Driverless subway trains and monorails are taken for granted these days, but when they first debuted, they faced serious questions about the safety of the concept. Can an automated subway train full of passengers really make decisions with the same reliability as a conductor?

This question has already been answered, but the next form of public transport that could go autonomous is the shuttle bus -- that's the baby step toward autonomous cars we may see before fully autonomous cars become commonplace, a reality that is either years or decades away, depending on whom you talk to.

This week, French autonomous vehicle manufacturer Navya announced plans to build its autonomous Arma bus in the U.S., at a new Saline, Michigan, plant that is expected to produce 150 autonomous buses by 2018. The Arma is a battery-powered shuttle bus with a 15-passenger capacity and a top speed of 28 mph. The bus uses several sensors to scan and create a 3-D map of its environment, and it features advanced pedestrian detection technology in addition to the ability to read traffic signs.

SelfDrivingTractor(s)

After trying to build self-driving tractors for more than 20 years, John Deere has learned a hard truth about autonomy

When building its first autonomous navigation system in the 1990s, John Deere just wanted to build a tractor that could drive down a field and make a turn on its own. But after more than 20 years, the company has found that approach was entirely insufficient—in order to drive the tractor, you need to replicate the farmer.

“We have to have the ability to sense everything the human would inside of the system related to the quality of the job,” said Dan Leibfried, director of embedded solutions at John Deere’s Intelligent Solutions Group. “Whether it be preparing the soil, planting the seed, protecting the crop, or harvesting it.”

That’s to say, in order to build a fully autonomous tractor, there are no shortcuts. While a blend of GPS and other location tracking sensors, image sensors, and telematics assist John Deere vehicles to navigate fields today, the company still can’t truly replicate everything a human would see and feel sitting in the tractor cab. The company’s latest commercially-available machine with autonomous features, the S700 combine (a vehicle which harvests grain), can automatically adjust its harvesting equipment based on the condition of the crop it sees—but still gives the farmer sitting in the tractor a camera on the process to make sure it’s happening correctly. Right now all of John Deere’s tractors still require a human to sit inside—a sign that autonomy is a long road even in controlled environments.

A mysterious driverless minivan was spotted driving around the DC area

Do you know who or what was behind a driverless Ford Transit van that was seen around Arlington, Virginia on Thursday?

The vehicle was spotted with no human beings in either the driver's seat or the passenger seat.ARLnow.com has video of it

The Ford Transit van also doesn't appear to have any lidar sensors mounted on its roof. Lidar is a 3D sensing technology that big tech companies like Google and Apple believe is key to autonomous vehicles.

Virginia's state government has aggressively courted self-driving vehicle companies and researchers. There are "no laws preventing autonomous testing on roadways, or a special permitting process, that doesn't exist," Virginia Department of Transportation spokesperson Marshall Herman told Business Insider. "There are very few regulations in Virginia for that."

However, the roads that the car were spotted on were not controlled by VDOT.

BMW confirms fully autonomous iNext for 2021

BMW has teamed up with Intel and Mobileye to introduce its first fully self-driving car in 2021 under its i sub-brand; level 3.5 autonomy is targeted.
BMW has confirmed that its fully autonomous iNext will be produced for 2021, with lightweight construction and an all-electric range of over 311 miles.

The brand originally announced last year that it had joined the race to produce fully autonomous cars and has teamed up with tech firms Intel and Mobileye in a bid to offer its first fully self-driving car in 2021. BMW now claims that level 3.5 autonomy will be possible from the car.

Although not one of the official five levels of autonomy, level 3.5 will bridge the gap between 3 and 4; the former allows part-time fully autonomous driving, but requires human intervention in certain circumstances, while level 4 allows completely human-free driving altogether.

The announcement of another i-branded model, called iNext, was made early in 2017. BMW has now said this model will be introduced in 2021 using Intel and Mobileye know-how to develop the artificial intelligence required for it to drive itself.

This niche will soon explode in terms of sales. Am happy holding a few names ....hmmmm

 

[Haykay2005]

Have said this times without number. It doesn't have to be EMD like selfdrivingcar for names in this niche to sell. Loads of service related names and brandables will also sell for good price. Very honest and unbiased review there. Even Self-driving (hyphenated) keyword is highly rated in this niche. Am glad to hold something related. You can read namesherpa for more ;

Best advice there from AMMAR

"AMMAR: Yeah. But anyways, if I were them… I like the niche a lot, just like Shane does. And I believe that’s obviously going to be part of our future. But I would try to go out and get brandables related to that space. And you know, I would go out and try to get driven, or autonomous, or…you know, come up with some brandables around that space. And I think those were the ones that are going to have huge value. And then when you back those up with, say you know, “Hey, look I have this whole other portfolio of the exact match that you could use to,” you know, “create kind of feeder sites or whatever information sites.” I think that kind of works as a strategy. But for me, the only one on there that’s really brandable is probably self-driving. And I disagree a little bit with Shane. I would price that a lot higher. I would…"

I have DriverlessC.com

Yeah. It's good to showcase quality brandables in this niche. I see good value in them

 

[Haykay2005]

DriverlessClinic.com
DriverlessDoctor.com

Just like we have the so-called car clinic or car doctor for car repairs/reviews. A driverless company/engineer can use DriverlessClinic or DriverlessDoctor for repair and review services. These are some of the brandable names suitable for the niche. The company won't call itself a Driverlesscar! Example of what these guys are saying... IMO

Cruise is running an autonomous ride hailing service for employees in SF

Cruise, the self-driving startup acquired by GM last year, is already operating a complete autonomous ride hailing service in San Francisco for its employees.

The service is called “Cruise Anywhere,” and it allows employees to use a smartphone app to get anywhere they need to go in SF, seven days a week.

Cruise Anywhere is in beta, hence the employee-only restriction, but the company says that some employees are already using it as their primary source of transportation, replacing either personal vehicle ownership, public transit or traditional ride-hailing services completely. In total, Cruise says 10 percent of its SF employees are using the beta, and more are being enrolled each week with a waitlist currently in place.
