Abstract
The idea behind the intelligent vehicle is that it thinks in unison with the driver. It swings into action if drivers get into trouble. If automotive vehicles go into a skid, for instance, the intelligent vehicle immediately applies perfectly balanced brakes on each wheel to stabilise it, the accelerator instantly reduces vehicle velocity the (even if the driver’s foot is on it) and the steering automatically corrects itself. Or when drivers are driving at high speeds along the motorway, the intelligent vehicle automatically senses how close the drivers are to the auto-motive vehicle in front, and reduces vehicle speed to avoid a collision, without interfering with the driver’s handling of the steering HW.
