Seven Facts about Google Self-Driving Car

Seven Facts about Google Self-Driving Car :



Google Self-Driving Car


First of all we should know “What is Google’s self-driving ?”.

The Google Self-Driving Car is a project by Google which aims to establish technology for autonomous cars.After starting number of projects, Now Google come up with a new project based on autonomous cars.

This project,if survive it will effect the automobile industry very heavily,some researchers say it will cut down the manufacturing about 40% and this is very large percentage.Concept of Self driven cars are seen potentially safer than human drivers, as they will not drink and drive and will not take a nap during driving.

Lets see what are the Seven Facts about Google Self-Driving Car here in this post.

1. It’s an Electric Vehicle:


Google’s Self-Driving Car falls under the category of battery operated vehicles.Obviously these are more towards green side that is eco-friendly vehicles.On full charge it can run for 100 miles.It runs very smooth and less noisy then any other battery operated vehicle,thanks to Google engineers for innovative effort.We can also say that they are far better than typical cars using fuels for public transport.

 2. It is intelligent and smart:

  • Google’s Self-Driving Car new project is more intelligent and smart.It is equipped with more sensors,radars and camers.Picture of car shows, there is a instrument on top of the car, it is laser sensor which can scan object around the car by rotating 360 degree.This laser sensor have higher range and resolution.
  • At the front there is nose like radar which measure the speed of car.An orientation sensor is also at the front (position is unknown) which functions is to track the car motion and balance.one more sensor on wheel hub calculate the rotations of wheel.All these sensors are send their data to processor which further give a way or behavior to car.
  • Google’s Self-Driving Car is smarter enough to change the path to destination if there will be more traffic on road with the help of maps.These maps are installed in car for particular area.The car will not able to drive itself on non-mapped areas.

3. Aims for safety:


Humans are terrible drivers.We humans just don’t drive our vehicles carefully.Using mobile phones and gadgets while driving ,just don’t care about the traffic rules.Google’s Self-Driving Car project main aim is to provide safety for peoples.Google engineers have designed it with flexible windscreen and foam front bumper.If it will hit something front bumper has tendency to absorb the impact of collision.It will not equipped with air-bags.
Don’t worry about the safety of passengers,as it will not run very fast,Slow is safe(less impact force and more time to react). Google’s Self-Driving Car are limited to a maximum speed of 40 kph (25 mph).It means it will run on local roads or low speed limit roads.

4. Design like human face:

Most interesting thing about Google Self-Driving Car is, it seems like a human face smiling at you when you see the car from the front side.Humans who are the part of testing of Google Self-Driving Car express their experience of watching it,they said car is very cute like a toy.Human like face design made by Google designers in order to create pleasant and friendly behavior  towards the traffic.Also,Car is very compact in size.

5. It is Two-seater and don’t have steering & pedals:

  • Google Self-Driving Car is packed with only two seats(with seat-belts),Generally sports car are Two-seater cars.But don’t worry about space in it,Google Self-Driving Car have enough space for your dog,few shopping bags.And also it is very comfortable to sit in.While traveling in it ,you can drink some stuff as it also contains cup-holders.
  • Google Self-Driving Car doesn’t equipped with accelerator pedal, brake pedal and not even steering wheel.We cannot imaging a car without steering wheel and pedals,this is the first time in automobile industry.But it have something new that is Start and Stop buttons as shown in picture below.

6. It undergoes 11 crashes in testing:


Did you know how Google’s Self-Driving Car perform in testing in public roads.According to the Google,their 23 self-driving cars have been involved in 11 minor accidents in last 6 years,when testing on public roads.Accidents occurs not because of car’s fault ,it is the Google Chauffeur(software powering Google’s cars) who is responsible for it. Google engineers are working on it,will soon overcome the challenging situation.

7. It is a prototype model:


Google’s Self-Driving Car is prototype project which mean it is a early sample before release of product in order to test it in real life situations.So you cannot buy Google’s Self-Driving Car.According to Google,this prototype project first will test for closed areas then to public roads at the end of year.

7 reasons not to buy Samsung Galaxy S6

Samsung S6
Samsung Galaxy S6 (Blue)
Last year Samsung not ready for Samsung S5 to create its Flagship image, as critics say it doesn't break the ground.Brands like Xiaomi capture the low end market in India and Iphone through its new model iphone 6 captures high end market ,Samsung image is in danger.Finally they launched Samsung S6 at MWC 2015 in march.  Samsung Galaxy S6 is one of the very nicely built device and it is  equipped with many features but there are some features missing in it.Still question arrives that Is Samsung Galaxy S6 is better than  Iphone 6  ?? .
Lets talk about 7 reasons not to buy Samsung Galaxy S6 :

Softwares Issues :

Being a Flagship model its little surprising that Samsung Galaxy S6 have some issues in its software.It runs on Touch Wiz UI,its the same user interface used by Samsung smartphones since Galaxy 2 days.If Someone loves the Stock android, he is not going like this user interface.
  • There are some pre-installed apps, if you want to uninstall them, then some of it are still there.So, you can't free of space.
  • Problem occur when phone left in stand-by mode.WiFi simply disappearing that is it lost site of majority of WiFi access points.Problem solve when you turn-off the WiFi and turn it on again.It automatically connected to previous access point straight way.
There is no LED indicator notification menu in Samsung Galaxy S6, so you cannot change the setting of LED notification(Blinking and colour) unlike in Galaxy S5.There is just On or Off option.Lack of this feature is not a bug but some users say they want it.

No Dustproof or waterproof:

You should have to be carefully handle this device,when you are in pool,beach or having some fluid because Samsung S6 is not waterproof unlike its older brother Samsung Galaxy S5 and other comparable devices like Sony Xperia Z3.
Samsung S6 is stepped backward in this feature to get sleek design.

No MHL Support:

First we should know What is MHL ?.MHl is Mobile High-defination link which allow to connect your smartphones or other portable devices to high-definition Televisions (TVs).
Samsung Galaxy S6 doesn't support MHL connection, means you can connect your Samsung Galaxy S6 to TV using HDMI cable.But you can use Wireless connection like screen mirroring to connect your S6 to TV,But this type of connections are not great as MHL connections.Frame rate and quality suffers in wireless connection.This is very disappointing that Samsung Galaxy S6 lacks MHL.

No Micro SD card slot:

Samsung Galaxy S6 doesn't have any SD card slot to upgrade the memory.So you pretty much stuck with whatever storage you choose for the Galaxy S6.Having a SD card slot has great advantage in carrying movies, songs etc when you a travelling without using your smartphone space.This lacked feature will be huge disappointment to one who loves storing media.In market there are as large as 200 GB of SD card.

Poor Battery life:

Samsung Galaxy S6 is powered with 2550 mAh battery.This is much lower than the battery capacity of Galaxy S5 (2800mAh).Flagship model with poor battery life its just not digestible,but it is true.It is not expectable in terms of being a Flagship phone because Flagship phone have really very good battery life.

Non-Removable battery :

Samsung lovers may not happy because this is the first time that Samsung launch a Galaxy model with Non-Removable battery.So you can't remove the back cover.When short-circuit occurs all type of batteries are damaged and Non-Removable battery are not expection.And once its damaged its no easy to replace the old battery with a newer one.Replacement cost of Non-Removable batteries are much higher than Removable batteries.
Some experts say that your smartphone battery life isn't forever.Every time you charge you battery,Molecules will break and rebuild again again,And a time will reach when these molecules are less strong.Means using non-removable battery smartphones, you will find that after charging 1500 or 2000 times,these batteries will die.So buying the devices having Non-Removable battery you are putting expiration date on your device as you cannot change it.

No Humidity sensor and Temp. sensor:

One more disappointment is waiting,Samsung Galaxy S6 doesn't has Humidity sensor and Temperature sensor.So what are the good things about these sensors.These sensors are very helpful in viewing weather conditions instantly like ambient temperature, humidity level.You can also check how much humidity is in your room ?.So you can decide whether to buy a humidifier or not.
So these are the 7 reasons not to buy Samsung Galaxy S6..
Samsung S6..

Green fuel is ready to use in automobiles ?


Green fuel is ready to use in automobiles ?
For years, Starting from steam engines using coal as fuel to present era of petrol/diesel engines, there is another era of green fuel is waiting for us.Yes,this true, Soon automobiles will run on this conventional source of energy which has been in research for many years and finally has reach a level of testing in real life.
Automobiles will run on green fuel, made from water and air, and this source of energy(alternative of petrol/diesel) will act as a turning point in auto industry.This green fuel named as Audi’s ‘E-diesel’.
German automobile manufacturer Audi has invented a new fuel for internal combustion engines that has the potential to contribute significantly to climate protection that why we call it GREEN FUEL.German maker Audi with partnership with clean tech company SUNFIRE set up a plant in Dresden, Germany which will pump out 160 litres of the synthetic diesel every day in the coming months.
First batch of GREEN FUEL or E-diesel produced last month on April 21st 2015 is also has been tested by Germany’s Federal Minister of Education and Research Johanna Wanka who supported this invention and put a few liters of the fuel in her work car, an Audi A8.Johanna Wanka said “Fuel using CO2 as main content is a huge success and huge step forward for sustainable transport and also this whole is backed by automobile giant Audi which is even more exciting”.
According to the reports of one of the top 100 companies in clean technologies worldwide SUNFIRE shows that its properties are superior to fossil fuel as it doesn’t contain sulphur and fossil oil which make this fuel eco-friendly. Sunfire-CTO Christian von Olshausen says: “The engine runs quieter and less toxic waste are being created”
Cetane number is very high (roughly 70) of this E-diesel and power-to-liquids technology reaches system efficiencies of about 70 per cent,according  reports of Sunfire.

How it is made ?

Raw material required for making this innovation is water and carbon dioxide renewable energy sources.Production  is created using a three-step process.
 
  • Energy used for production of the E-diesel comes entirely from renewable source of energy such as wind, solar and hydro-power.
  • Then this energy used to split water into oxygen and pure hydrogen through process of electrolysis(Decomposition of water (H2O) into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen gas (H2) due to an electric current being passed through the water).The oxygen is released into atmosphere and hydrogen is left for further use in reacter.In Reacter hydrogen and filtered CO2 (which is coming from climeworks) in a two stage process produce CO, hydrogen and water.Blue crude is obtained which is comparable with crude oil.
  • According for application Blue crude is being processed in refinery and product after refining is what is we calling green fuel E-diesel.Now,Green fuel is ready to use in automobiles.

For those folks who do not know, Force Touch mechanism allows Apple to create different functions and follow on options depending on the speed of the tap, the duration of the tap and the force used in the tap.
This is a very unique feature yet just launched by Apple only, as this mechanism opens up a whole lot of new ways to interact with the customers with the interactive user interface, allowing users to press on the same thing and achieve different results just from varying the applied pressure. This  feature has already been implemented in the new apple devices i.e. Apple Watch and 12-inch Macbook, showing signs of Apple’s seriousness and following this ground, the next device featuring this might be the yet to come iPhone 6S Plus.

Confirming the stats from the recent report of Economic Daily News, this feature will be exclusively available in the higher end devices aka the more expensive iPhone, meaning the iPhone 6S or iPhone 6C will not have this feature. This would mean another new feature added only to the Plus. In 2014, Apple added optical image stabilization, a larger battery and a full HD display to the iPhone 6 Plus, while not adding the same to the iPhone 6.

It clearly states out the tactical strategy of the Apple as it is trying to make the iPhone Plus the Macbook Pro of the consumer products, as for every extra 100$ you get new features for your device. It should be a big piece of attraction for the customers and would add on the already impressive profit margins for the iPhone.
As of now, no exact price of Force Touch can be guessed or said of, but it sure of first being launched for the higher end range of the devices and then waiting and finding a cheaper alternative before bringing it in the mass production line for all the devices.
Following the trend as of the retina display and the Touch ID sensor, Force Touch is expected to be seen on all the Apple devices by the coming 2016.
