The ultimate vision of researchers and automobile engineers is a car that drives automatically, with multisensor environment detection using cameras, infrared sensors, and radar sensors. An information processing unit will compare the preprocessed data with a knowledge base. Actuators will perform steering, as well as acceleration and braking. The driver's only task would be to program the destination and press the start button. These cars could be ideal transportation means for older drivers, solving most of their perception and action problems. Furthermore, many of the technical devices to enhance the mobility of the older driver would become superfluous. This chapter discusses these driver-friendly, advanced automobiles, and describes some of the first prototypes which have reached speeds of 110 km/hr.
