As I mentioned yesterday, you have a case study to do by yourselves today. Please pair up and complete the following tasks: - Read "How Google's Self-Driving Car Works". Identify all the kinds of data and information technology used by one of Google's computer-controlled cars.
- Explain why driving in traffic is such a difficult problem for automated systems to handle.
- Read "All Aboard the Robotic Road Train". Describe the concept of semi-autonomous cars in a 'platoon' or 'road train', and explain the benefits and risks that would exist if it were introduced into mainstream traffic.
- From a project management perspective, justify the development of semi-autonomous driving systems when autonomous driving systems already exist.
- Construct an information system diagram to represent the platoon system designed by Volvo.
- Outline the project management challenges that were faced during the development of this system, and (where applicable) the methods that were used to overcome these challenges.
