3. INTRODUCTION
An electric car is an automobile that is propelled by one or more electric motors, using electrical energy stored in rechargeable batteries or another energy storage device.
The first practical electric cars were produced in the 1880s
Usage of electric batteries
Autonomous cars can detect surroundings using a variety of techniques such as radar, lidar, GPS, odometry, and computer vision.

4. BENEFITS Reduction in road accidents and labor cost No air pollution
Enhance mobility to elderly, people with disabilities and low level income of citizens
Self parking and reversing
No fuel expenses

6. HISTORY
Experiments have been conducted on self driving cars since at least the 1920s, promising trials took place in the 1950s and work has proceeded since then.
The first self-sufficient and truly autonomous cars appeared in the 1980s, with Carnegie Mellon University's Navlab and ALV projects in 1984 and Mercedes-Benz and Bundeswehr University Munich's Eureka Prometheus Project in 1987.
Numerous major companies and research organizations have developed working prototype autonomous vehicles including Mercedes-Benz, General Motors, Autoliv Inc., Bosch, Nissan, Toyota, Audi, Volvo, Oxford University and Google.

7. ARTICLES APPLE CONFIRMS IT IS WORKING ON SELF-DRIVING CARS
Apple offered no details of its project, but highlighted the ‘societal benefits’ of driverless vehicles.
The company, which has been  rumoured to be interested in the automated car market for the past two years, confirmed its previously secret initiative in a statement to the US highways regulator.
The company is investing heavily in the study of machine learning and automation, and is excited about the potential of automated systems in many areas, including transportation, said the letter from Steve Kenner, Apple’s director of product integrity, to the head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

8. Google's self-driving car in broadside collision after other car jumps red light
Autonomous Lexus SUV could not prevent accident that caved in front and rear passenger-side doors, setting off airbags and forcing it to be towed away.
One of Google’s self-driving cars was involved in one of the worst autonomous vehicle accident yet, when a driver ran a red light and collided with the passenger side door of the modified Lexus SUV.
The collision, which occurred at the intersection between El Camino Rea and Phyllis Ave in Mountain View, California, caused the Google car’s airbags to be deployed, and caved in its front and rear right-side doors.

9. If the age of self-driving cars is upon us, what's keeping them off the roads?
As Google and Uber trial prototypes, the future of fully driverless cars and safer roads should come sooner than anyone thought – but they’re in no mood to rush.
Sitting in the passenger seat of Google’s self driving car is a less bizarre experience than sitting in the driving seat, but it’s still unsettling.
It’s partly because the software that drives the car isn’t exactly ready for production yet, so every now and again something weird happens – a jerky overtake, a slight hesitation to squeeze through into an adjacent lane, or, as happened once, the car declaring for no obvious reason that “a slight hiccup” had occurred and that it was going to pull over.
