Why am i Blogging?

Why am i Blogging?

    Well it is very simple, A group of us 3 years ago started working on vehicle Automation researching ways that could be achieved.
    Before you continue reading we would like to state that the prototype is a vehicle equipped with ADAS, Adaptive cruise control, and crash collision System, The only thing we have researched is Automatic guidance of the vehicles
    A year ago we started testing our prototype and we called it Mr Pinger ( the vehicle pings everything in sight)
    Initially we had no idea how to drive the vehicle without a driver in control, It started with driving the vehicle on voice commands, ( stop, turn right, turn left etc…) it worked.
    So then we made it listen to google navigation commands regarding where to go, (turn left/right, arrived a destination) it worked
    The only problems we were left with were Traffic lights stops/go,and speed limit Adjustment, stop signs, give way and so on
    Our System works and we have resolved that, We do not need to be connected for navigation or any of the driving, a phone app is enough to take you where you want to, sat nav, That is the only connection that is required unless you want to drive it by talking to the car. defeats the purpose of self Drive. Everything needed for a safe drive is in the car locally and does not need connectivityWhy am i Blogging?

    Why am i Blogging?

    Probably out of frustration and disappointment

    The car Manufacturers

    We contacted every vehicle manufacturer that we could think off, Specially the ones that publicly state the millions of dollars they they are spending on research, Uber, Volvo, Waymo,google and more , hoping that we at least we get an email asking us what we were talking about, you never know we could have a solution to some issues they are having
    After sending Messages not email just leaving a message type of inquiry, limited to 200 words, well first of all suggestions, Technical, not there, just contact for purchasing, services, closest dealer. Well what can you say in feedback. We are a group of five and we have an automated vehicle, Would you like to know more? you know where that will go to the crazy internet bin, So much for the internet contact pffftttt Waste of time
    So lodged it at several Attorneys , so if it ever get developed we will be recognized as the first to successfully use the system not that will stop anyone from using it, nor make us any money, nor stops anyone from developing it , But we were the first to think of it, trial it successfully ( you have to love video cameras)
    We will not publish what the ARDS System does fully ,we have said enough about how the vehicle is guided (Lane keeping technology + Voice recognition/data conversion). The Traffic light stops , speed changes, stop signs, turning Technology will not be publicized on the internet. We will give them the respect they gave us nada, bananas.

    My local State road Authorities and support

    Support from local state Government (nada) probably all my Emails to the minister of roads go to the trash or the spammer box while the minister announces support for research Automated vehicles try to get support what a joke.
    The roads Authorities Even gets better can we apply for an automated vehicle trial permit. First question what is your accreditation, is that a joke How can you be accredited for something that does not officially exist. And you designed it and developed it yourself. 
    Not going into another requirement Insurance for automated Vehicle , Does that exist ? not that i know off, and the cost ?
    That puts me out and anyone else for that matter. The only way it can be done is at the discretion of the minister of roads, The minister refers you to Vic roads and Vic roads conditions request something that does not exist, anyway i vented enough thank you for Reading feel free to comment

    abandoned electronic until 2012 and returned into research focused on vehicle guidance system
