Question

Consider two autonomous vehicles driving in two adjacent lanes as shown in the figure. One is at the rear part of the other at a blind angle. Both cars are driving at 65 miles/hour. If the front car starts to change lane as shown in the figure, 

a) How far a car can travel in one second with the mentioned speed?
b) How much time the V2V communications can have before the two cars collide? 
c) If the GPS position has an error of one meter, what would be the error margin (minimum, maximum of the time duration before collision) of the result obtained in Part a), 
d) Provide your suggestions how to improve the positioning accuracy 
of GPS?
e) In your view, what type of sensors could be integrated with GPS to 
avoid collision?

Q2: Consider two autonomous vehicles driving in two adjacent lanes as
shown in the figure. One is at the rear part of the other at a blind angle.
Both cars are driving at 65 miles/hour. If the front car starts to change
lane as shown in the figure,
a) How far a car can travel in one second with the mentioned speed?
30%
2m
b) How much time the V2V communications can have before the two
cars collide?
1.73m
c) If the GPS position has an error of one meter, what would be the
error margin (minimum, maximum of the time duration before
collision) of the result obtained in Part a),
d) Provide your suggestions how to improve the positioning accuracy
of GPS?
1m
e) In your view, what type of sensors could be integrated with GPS to
avoid collision?
