In a recent statement, Ford Motor Company of the United States said that autonomous vehicles should not only be strong and durable but should also be powered by hybrid vehicles.
The statement explains that such a decision favors the reinvention of existing consumer-grade vehicles into autonomous vehicles and the design of dedicated autonomous vehicles, which are somewhat outdated when cars are able to drive autonomously So far, there has been a lack of experimentation in the industry to combine the best of both worlds with the idea of autonomous vehicles.
However, Ford made some realistic plans.First, Ford believes that the self-driving car in order to withstand the daily high-intensity use, it must be strong and durable.Ford said the company's production of autonomous vehicles used in special vehicles such as police cars Durable materials used in vehicles (such as bold tires and reinforced brakes).
But unexpectedly, Ford also believes that hybrid cars need to be used.Although many commentators agree that electric and automatic driving very well, Ford believes that the use of autonomous vehicles does not allow cars to stay in a place to recharge , And the use of electronic components for autonomous vehicles will significantly reduce mileage, so the hybrid is more suitable for autonomous vehicles.
We do not yet know how the concepts will be, but we still have a long way to go in a fully autonomous car in Waymo's vision, but as we have reported, Google terminated Waymo Autonomous driving a car is to get a more realistic solution, perhaps the concept Ford shows is one of them.
