With the rapid advances in technology, it is possible to achieve things that could not be achieved 20 years back. In the 1990s, there were a lot of concerns regarding the use of VR, with several companies trying to implement the technology. The most remarkable device back then was the Nintendo Virtual Boy. However, it failed and was discontinued a year after going on sale. Since then, AR and VR technologies have grown substantially and are being gradually used in several applications across various sectors. Video games and cell phones are driving the development of these technologies. All users from tourists to soldiers to someone looking for the closest subway stop can benefit from the ability of AR technology to place computer-generated graphics in their field of vision.

AR engines contain SDKs that provide the necessary tools to develop AR content,software applications, and graphics. They employ tools that use third-party libraries,and include algorithms for computer vision and image processing. However, an AR application developer also has the option to use other software for image recognition and camera calibration. Several AR tools are currently available in the market such as ARToolKit, String, Metaio SDK, DroidAR, ARLab, Android SDK, Eclipse, and Xcode.Certain toolkits are built for face tracking or for marker-based technologies.AR technology is used to blend digital content into the physical world. Computergeneratedimages of an individual's surroundings along with relevant information are displayed in a user’s field of vision. The technology enhances user experience through mobiles apps developed specifically for using AR.

The sensing technology is now integrated into every auto component with sensor fusion becoming the norm for all auto component functioning. As the strategy of every original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) has been to embrace all the components that can act upon sensing on its own, electronic parking brake (EPB) is likely to be considered as one of the most required components for every vehicle. In the current stage of implementation, the popularity of drive-by-wire (DBW) systems (such as shift-by-wire (SBW) and brake-by-wire (BBW)) is driven by the growth in the number of passenger cars in the luxury vehicles segment. EPB is categorized under BBW systems.

A DCT system works similar to a conventional manual transmission but without the need for a clutch pedal. The configuration of the system makes it look like as if two separate manual gearboxes are attached to each other. It can be used both in automatic and manual transmission modes using either paddle shifters or manual driver selector on the gear lever. This type of system combines the benefits of both manual and automatic transmission.The global automotive industry has evolved drastically over the years with technical developments taking place in the field of powertrain, vehicle safety, comfort and convenience areas. Within the powertrain systems, transmission is one area that has witnessed gradual developments. Though the first design of a DCT dates back to World War II, the first and actual development started around the 1980s. DCT was first developed and tested in a few models of Ford and Peugeot. Most of the initial DCT control systems were based on analog or digital circuitry featuring single dry clutch or multi-plate wet clutch. Later, German sports car manufacturer Porsche developed its in-house version of DCT, which it named Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) in German,meaning dual-clutch gearbox in English. Since 2000, most of the leading automakers in the world have started using DCT in their vehicles with Volkswagen being the most prominent one.

Ethernet technology has been widely used in LAN and MAN networks since 1990.Despite its popularity and growing acceptance in computers and peripherals industry, it was not adopted in the automotive industry. In fact, Ethernet was implemented for the first time in BMW X5 in 2013. This is because of the risks associated with adopting a new networking technology in the form of material costs as well as supply chain management. A new technology is only adopted in the industry if the benefits and advantages outweigh the risks involved. The controller area network (CAN), which was launched in 1990s in the automotive sector, is still the widely-accepted technology.However, increased demand for bandwidth-longing applications has paved the road for Ethernet in the automotive industry.

Advances in technology and the increased use of smart devices in the automotive segment have increased the adoption of automotive human-machine interface (HMI) solutions.

An EDR is a device installed in a vehicle for recording the operation of vehicle systems for a few seconds (close to 20 seconds) during the time of occurrence of an accident.The recordings are predominantly used for assessing the functioning and effectiveness of vehicle systems during and after accidents. It is imperative to note that neither can the data in EDRs be deleted nor can the EDR (also referred to as car's black box) be disabled.As EDRs are not indispensable parts of vehicles and are only useful after an accident or crash, not all light vehicles are equipped with EDRs. Thus, regulatory mandates play a critical role in increasing the penetration of EDRs in vehicles.

An interactive whiteboard (IWB) is a large display that can be connected to a computer to display images and data. IWBs allow users to drag, click, and copy items using a pen, finger, or stylus. They have emerged as one of the most popular and successful technologies in classroom environments, as they allow users to annotate, print images, and save or distribute documents over networks. This technique makes the teaching process easier and more interesting than using conventional whiteboards.

EVs, also known as electric drive vehicles, use one or more electric motors for propulsion. The motors are powered by a battery system that is charged by plugging an external power supply when the vehicle is not moving. When the vehicle is on the road, the battery pack is charged in small amounts through regenerative braking.Therefore, these vehicles are referred to as plug-in EVs (PEVs). These vehiclesinclude all EVs, hybrid EVs (HEVs), and plug-in HEVs (PHEVs).HEVs are EVs that have an internal combustion (IC) engine along with an electric motor. The IC engine generates electricity, which is used to charge the batteries that power the electric motor. Further, regenerative braking generates smaller amounts for electricity that is also conserved in the batteries.

Haptics is a form of communication that involves touch. In haptic technology, the system or machine interfaces with the user through touch. Today, haptic technology has a wide area of application, for instance, the technology is very popular and widely accepted in the consumer electronics industry. This technology can be found in almost all smartphones and tablets available in the market today. The applications of this technology are also increasing in the gaming controls, healthcare, and automotive sectors.While driving,distractions like other vehicles, pedestrians, traffic lights, cell phones,and in-vehicle entertainment systems can cause serious issues. In an attempt to eliminate or minimize driver distractions, government authorities around the world have strict regulations in place, which require the use of safety systems in a vehicle. These include a gamut of safety and security systems installed in a vehicle, which are used to alert the driver in case of the detection of any unwarranted action. For instance, lane departure warning system can include both visual as well as auditory warnings.However, the auditory, visual, and driving senses may already be preoccupied due to several unaccounted factors, which may then result in accidents. Thus, the warning systems should use another mode of communication to alert the driver. This is where haptic technology comes into the picture.

New generation automobiles are equipped with various advanced electronic features,an important one of which is the power window. The power window has many advanced features that make it user-friendly, such as the single-press switch.However, although it offers advantages like ease-of-use to the passenger and driver, it can cause harm if it traps any body part. The anti-pinch system is a solution to this problem as it stops the glass from closing as soon as it detects an obstruction in its path. In the EU and the US, anti-pinch window system manufacturers have to follow set industry standards and specifications.

Automated container terminals use container handling equipment that requires no human interaction and can be operated using hardware, software, and terminal operating systems (TOS). The first container terminal with full automation features became operational two decades ago. The initial automated container terminal was in the Netherlands, (ECT Delta). The container terminals are built with automated stacking cranes (ASCs) and some terminals use automated guided vehicle (AGV).Automated container terminals are intended for the handling and stacking of cargo into or out of container. Shipping ports and container terminals play a crucial role in facilitating global trade. The use of automation has boosted the volume of ship-borne world trade significantly. Despite these facts, there are several containers terminals in the marine industry, and most of the companies remain small with minimal market share. Most of the cargo is transported in huge ships (also called mega ships). Shipping is widely popular in international trade as it remains the cheapestmeans of transport across borders and continents.
