Application of IR 4.0 Technologies in Automated Vehicles (AV): A Review on Trends

Abstract

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) may provide more efficient logistical and passenger transportation methods. In the age of IOT, AVs provide the litmus test on the  IOT system’s reliability and the trust that it may inspire in road users. Understanding public acceptance of AVs is crucial for forecasting and altering adoption behaviour. The current research trend is on how to gain widespread use, however, this article examines the research topic about the future tendencies of IR 4.0 in the context of autonomous electric cars. In analysing the content of scientific literature, most are toward engineering, where breakthroughs in automobile technology are generated. However, innovations in automobile technology are often expensive and are typically implemented first in luxury cars. Early adopters who can afford large product premiums are often motivated to purchase by "technological distinction." While fully autonomous driving is not yet commercially viable, or if viable only available to selected few within the realm of testing and sandboxing, the technologies in AV are growing rapidly. As battery technology continues to advance, its unit capacity cost is progressively declining, hence aiding the growth of the AV industry within the electric vehicle (EV) and alternative-fuel context of interest.
