In 2017, a year of artificial intelligence, AI technology promotion, smart home laying, driverless, AR technology has brought us surprises again and again, novelty products are also emerging.
Recognized as the first year of artificial intelligence in 2018 and working on the first day after the Chinese New Year, intelligence is of course the highlight, and as a driverless start, autopilot has also become a tide of inspiration for many businesses to think about this Investment.
Smart speed, Mercedes-Benz conducted a multi-city autopilot test
Last year, Mercedes-Benz launched a test project called Intelligent World Drive. This test project mainly involves a small team driving a special Mercedes-Benz luxury car S450L to 5 different countries on five continents, and during actual driving The process of collecting traffic information in various regions.
The S-Class sedan used in this test is also technically equipped with an updated Intelligent Drive Assist system that controls the vehicle in front of the Intelligent World Drive in a fixed speed range The distance between.
Not only that, the S-Class sedan also equipped with two cameras on the rearview mirror, the steering wheel has a large screen, used to display the camera recorded images.And in some high-speed sections, the driver can also release the steering wheel , Let the car autonomously control the speed and direction.
The implementation of the project, starting from the Frankfurt Motor Show in September last year in Germany, passed some cities in China, Australia and South Africa, and finally returned to the United States in January this year.
Spent so much time, hell and high water, Mercedes-Benz's goal is to collect real traffic information in these cities to understand the different regions of the world road, driving the vehicle's planning, and the corresponding legal requirements.In the driving process, this test Car through the camera to record the situation encountered during driving, drivers and co-pilots will also manually enter the new incident, for the subsequent finishing.
In this project, they will observe different traffic sign designs among big cities, the possible impact of climate and environment on autonomous vehicles, etc. As the traffic light timer in Shanghai is rather special, driving in Melbourne may encounter a Known as the hook turns, the driver on the left needs to wait for the green light at the right turn; while Cape Town, South Africa sand covers the lane markings easily.
Through these actual measurement tests, this small team of Mercedes-Benz tried to teach these experiences to the car's software to make it more suitable for use in different countries and cities.
Automated driving gradually into the field of vision, how to comply with the rules become the main
Automated driving gradually into the people's vision, but how to regulate the most important issue. The most important reason is that:
1, for now, drivers driving and algorithms driving the car are still two different modes of driving .Autonomous driving can be fully in accordance with traffic laws and regulations, driving the road rules, but the human driver is not always the case, so easy to predict the algorithm can not be expected .
2, in the underdeveloped economy, the road design is not perfect countries, autonomous driving cars may not have enough road signs, traffic laws and regulations to reference, resulting in less than automatic driving and driving a more reliable human.
Although there are still many problems with autopilot technology, Mercedes-Benz is also using the project to study different road design, driving habits, and traffic regulations, and put these into the new autopilot system, hoping that in the near future, as far as possible In line with human driving habits, will continue to improve the automatic driving.
Of course, in addition to the Mercedes-Benz for the autopilot test site, more manufacturers including Waymo, also began to test the autopilot technology vehicles in the city, with more testing, to improve their own driving system as much as possible.
Nowadays, with the development of artificial intelligence, the trend of driverlessness apparently has become the mainstream in the future, but how to formulate corresponding norms becomes the most important part before the driver is fully implemented. At the same time, how to identify, How to make a move, but also should become a point of concern to the technicians, after all, with many life-related.
Smart already full speed, along with more manufacturers, such as BMW involved in the brand, I believe in the near future, we can see more sci-fi scenes!
