But the term is generally used to refer to vehicles that take charge of steering, accelerating, indicating and braking during most if not all of a journey between two points, much in the same way aeroplanes can be set to autopilot.
In order to prove that the xDriver system could take control over a virtual car in a virtual environment in terms of steering, accelerating and braking, a simulation study was preformed in the Java 7 programming environment with the use of external libraries (fuzzyj110a, jFreeChart, guava).
Bike motions of interest include balancing, steering, braking, accelerating, suspension activation, and vibration.
Already actions like steering, braking and accelerating are increasingly handled by computer software rather than the driver.
All it is doing is transferring the force and you need to know how much force the tire can translate, at whatever given situation, which means steering in, braking, accelerating; and then you have the trajectory line of all this".
Indeed, with new technical rules this year, most of the drivers now have more to think about than steering, changing gears, accelerating and braking and all the other buttons they have to press.
"In terms of accelerating, steering and braking, that's a real advantage," he says.
Traffic jam pilot handles all aspects of driving in these conditions, including starting from a stop, accelerating, steering and braking.
The second one is to consider the entire space of combined steering, braking and accelerating maneuvers, and to perform an optimized search for collision-free trajectories [[7]].
The idea is to simulate different driver actions (such as braking, accelerating, steering) and to identify the latest moment at which one of these maneuvers is able to avoid the collision [[11],[48]].
The first one consists in computing escape maneuvers (i.e. how the vehicle should steer, brake or accelerate to avoid the collision) and check whether these maneuvers are feasible (with "feasible" meaning that the steering, braking or accelerating does not exceed the physical limitations of the vehicle) [[2]].
