IGI Global title lays groundwork for exciting invention

Driverless Cars Unveiled at CES 2015

By IGI Global on Jan 21, 2015
Communication in Transportation Systems The recent CES conference and the Detroit Auto Show have unveiled exciting new technologies for the future of transportation. At CES, Daimler chief Dieter Zetsche revealed their driver-less car, the Mercedes' F 015 prototype: "A device that gives you more time and more space." Zetsche goes on to say, "The car is growing beyond its role as a mere means of transport and will ultimately become a mobile living space."

According to Forbes, "Mercedes envisions cars of the future not just as means of transportation from point A to point B, but as private retreats, or lounges of sorts. The F 015 concept lets passengers relax, but still take the controls if they want to, all in an undeniably luxurious space."

The remarkable technologies embodied at the conference and around the world are changing the way we travel forever. With features such as driver override and censor systems, active window displays, and biometric vehicle access, the possibilities are virtually endless.

Groundwork for such technologies has been established by thousands of innovative scientists and engineers, including Otto Strobel, editor of the IGI Global publication Communication in Transportation Systems. Bridging theoretical knowledge and practical applications of cutting-edge technologies for communication in automotive applications, this reference source carefully covers innovative technologies which will continue to advance transportation systems. Automotive researchers, developers, scholars, engineers, as well as graduate students in the transportation and automotive system, communication, electrical, and information technology fields will especially benefit from this advanced publication.
