WELCOME!Electric Vehicles and Autonomous Driving have become the hottest topic in the automotive sector and are quickly becoming a global phenomenon whre non-traditional players like Tesla were able to claim market leading positions agains classic competitors like GM, Volkswagen and Toyota.

Battery prices fell 35 percent in the last 12 months and are on a trajectory to make unsubsidized electric vehicles as affordable as their gasoline counterparts in the next six years, according to a new analysis of the electric-vehicle market by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF).

By 2040, long-range electric cars will cost less than $22,000 (in today’s dollars), according to the projections. Thirty-five percent of new cars worldwide will have a plug.

The highlight of 2016 clearly was Tesla’s success to secure more than 400,000 reservations for their Model 3. Production is scheduled to begin in mid 2017 and deliveries for 2018.

Also Autonomous Driving has seen major breakthrough in 2016 with Tesla demonstrating fully functional AV technology in their Model S.

Many agree that a shift is under way that will lead to widespread adoption of EVs in the next decade. It’s looking like the 2020s will be the decade of the electric car.

Chapter 1

Introduction

In the late 1890s electric vehicles (EVs) had outsold gasoline cars ten to one. EVs were dominating roads and dealer showrooms. Several automotive companies started out as successful EV companies such as Oldsmobile and Studebaker. However, their focus later Transition to gasoline-powered vehicles. The first car dealerships actually dealt exclusively for EVs.

Early production of EVs was accomplished by hand assembly. In 1910, volume production of gasoline powered cars was achieved with the motorized assembly line. This breakthrough manufacturing process killed off all but the most well-financed car builders. Independents, unable to buy components in volume died off. The infrastructure for electricity was almost non-existent outside of city boundaries – limiting EVs to city-only travel. Another contributing factor to the decline of EVs was the addition of an electric motor (called the starter) to gasoline powered cars – finally removing the need for the difficult and dangerous crank to start the engine. Due to these factors, by the end of World War I, production of electric cars stopped and EVs became niche vehicles – serving as taxis, trucks, delivery vans, and freight handlers.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, a rebirth of EVs prompted was by concerns about air pollution and the OPEC oil embargo. In the early 1990s, a few major automakers resumed production of EVs – prompted by California 's landmark Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate. Those EVs were produced in very low volumes – essentially hand-built like their early predecessors. However, as the ZEV mandate was weakened over the years, the automakers stopped making EVs – Toyota was the last major auto maker to stop EV production in 2003.

Since the 1920’s, there has been research and experiments into autonomous vehicles. The first self-sufficient and truly autonomous vehicles appeared in the 80’s, with the Carnegie Mellon Universities Navlab and ALV projects in the mid 80’s and the Mercedes-Benz and Budeswehr University Munich’s Eurke Prometheus Project in the late 80’s.

Since then, many major automotive manufacturers and research organizations have been developing prototype vehicles including Mercedes-Benz, Continental Automotive Systems, General Motors, Bosch, Autolive Inc., Toyota, Nissan, Volvo, Vislav, Google and Audi. In July of 2013, Visla demonstrated the BRAiVE vehicle, that moved autonomously on a mixed traffic route open to public traffic. As of 2013, four states in the U.S. have passed laws permitting the use of autonomous vehicles including Nevada, Florida, California and Michigan. In Europe, cities in France, Belgium, Italy and the United Kingdom are planning to operate transport systems for driverless vehicles. Germany, the Netherlands and Spain have already allowed the testing of robotic vehicles in traffic.

Envisioning the Future

As mentioned prior, the idea of autonomous vehicles was around since 1900‘s. However, the concept of autonomous vehicle and driving gained vast public interest at General Motors Futurama exhibit during the 1939 World’s Fair. General Motors envisioned a future where there was “abundant sunshine, fresh air (and) fine green parkways” on which cars could drive themselves.

Jameson Wetmore, a historian wrote in Driving the Dream that "GM and RCA had developed a scale model automated highway system, which allowed them to begin experimenting with how electronics could be used to steer and maintain proper following distance."

In 1958, Wetmore noted, the company tested a 1958 Chevrolet with a front-end
