Standing in the garage, Elmar Frickenstein, senior vice president of BMW Group, shouted "BMW" to the Samsung smart watch Galaxy Gear S on his wrist. His car BMW heard the call, sensed his position, and slowly started, winding around. Open the pillar and finally stop by his side.
On the evening of January 5th, US time, at the opening ceremony of CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in 2015, Samsung Fu President and CEO Yin Fugen gave a keynote speech, inviting BMW Group Senior Vice President Elmar Frickenstein to “cross the fieldâ€. The video demonstrates the wonderful scene of the above-mentioned smart watch remote control driverless car: With the help of smart watches, cars such as human-friendly pets generally run to your front.
Driverless car technology is turning from imaginary step by step to reality. In addition to traditional car manufacturers, there are more Internet giants like Google.
ABB competes Traditional luxury car top three BMWs, Mercedes-Benz and Audi (ABB) are all betting on driverless cars.
At this year's CES show, BMW introduced a new autonomous driving technology. Including 360° collision prevention system and multi-storey parking lot automatic parking technology. When there is a danger of collision, the 360° collision prevention system will warn the driver through the alarm sound, and the vehicle can be stopped with centimeter accuracy by automatic brake intervention.
BMW engineers installed high-precision GPS and sensor arrays on the test models. After analyzing a large amount of data, the car will make accurate judgments on the current road conditions. Of course, engineers are not satisfied just running on ordinary roads. “Let the control approach the limit of the car†is another purpose. Therefore, once the “extreme mode†is turned on, the car starts to finish some high difficulty like a chicken blood. Actions such as high speed obstacle avoidance and drift.
The technology of the Audi A7 prototype is currently in development. The car uses a forward-looking radar and a laser range finder to "see" the road ahead. The camera mounted on the windshield monitors the lane boundary and the rear radar detects the vehicles on the left and right.
The technology is designed to allow the driver to take a short break at speeds of less than 40 mph, while still allowing the A7 to maintain a proper distance from the front and rear vehicles, as well as allowing the vehicle to travel between lane boundaries. .
In the original design concept, cars using this technology will also be equipped with a face recognition camera to detect whether the driver is observing the road conditions, whether it is fatigue driving, and if so, an alarm will sound. In order to cooperate with Piloted Driving technology, Audi must equip the car with front and rear radar, forward-looking laser rangefinder and camera on the windshield. The radar and rangefinder are responsible for detecting vehicles around the A7, and the camera detects the boundary. An LCD display on the dashboard shows the road surface around the A7. A computer installed in the trunk area analyzes this information and controls the throttle, brakes, and steering wheel.
Mercedes-Benz also launched its driverless car, the F015 Luxury in Motion, at CES. Known as the "lounge" car, the car has four rotatable seats that can be rotated into a single unit, like a lounge. The front row of displays allows the driver and passengers to control the in-car entertainment system and supports gesture control and eye tracking.
The front and rear LED lights can change color based on the current driving state of the car: when the driver manually controls the car, the lights are white, and when the driver is unmanned, the lights are blue. Because of this, when you drive this car on the road in the future, pedestrians can distinguish who is driving.
Google on the road Google's first full-featured driverless car will be tested on the road in 2015.
Although Google’s news of developing driverless cars has been around for a long time, it was not until December 22, 2014 that Google officially announced the completion of the prototype of the first full-featured driverless car, which will be officially tested in 2015.
The fully automated driverless car developed by Google has no steering wheel, throttle and brake pedals and shifting devices, and is fully automated through software and sensors. This is the first time in 2010 that Google has disclosed the development of driverless cars for nearly five years.
Google said in its official blog that in the past six months, Google has built a number of prototypes, each designed to test different systems of self-driving cars, including traditional car parts such as steering and braking, as well as autopilots such as computers and sensors. part. The first complete fully automated vehicle prototype integrates all of these components.
According to industry insiders, the principle of Google's driverless car is to complete the route planning through GPS positioning combined with the built-in Google navigation map. During the driving process, the environmental data is collected by the peripheral camera and stored in the on-board computer for data analysis to determine the driving behavior. Complete the automatic driving. But launching a driverless car doesn't mean Google wants to be a car maker. Chris Urmson, head of Google's driverless car program, said not long ago that Google is looking for partners in the automotive industry to plan to bring driverless technology to market within five years.
In the Chinese market last year, Internet companies such as Tencent also cut into the car networking market and launched smart boxes for car networking, but mainly combining car navigation and social functions, but these smart products are far from reaching the level of driving unmanned vehicles.
Baidu has also entered this field. Baidu's driverless project is in the research and development stage. In addition to research and development of basic automotive sensor systems, decision-making and control systems, Baidu is focusing on data collection and is working on drawing the first high-precision 3D environment map in China. Applications outside the driverless arena serve a wider audience in more forms.
In October last year, Dr. Ni Kai, the head of the Baidu Company's unmanned vehicle team and senior scientist, said that Baidu as an Internet company wants to do unmanned vehicles because the unmanned vehicles are robotic projects. These are future-oriented artificial intelligence operations. This has great commercial value. The unmanned vehicle project has a radiation effect and can be used for product development and finalization in the future when there is a new business model.
When to enter the homes of ordinary people At present, it is widely believed that if unmanned cars are to be popularized, how to deal with the high cost and accuracy of sensors is a threshold that needs to be crossed.
Compared with advances in technology, automotive companies need more data collection. Taking BMW's extreme mode drift technology as an example, this seemingly crazy technology is not in line with current safety standards for autonomous vehicles, and more road conditions require a lot of practice and experience, and I want to complete this technology in a short time. Not reliable, BMW is expected to put this technology into practical applications at least until 2020.
To be able to apply unmanned vehicles, it is necessary to break through road traffic policies around the world. At present, car traffic policies in various places require drivers to hold the steering wheel, and even do not allow drivers to hold the phone. To truly liberate drivers and achieve driverlessness, it is also necessary to follow up traffic laws.
Behind driverless technology is the expansion of a wider range of IoT technologies.
Elmar Frickenstein said the car networking will be one of the biggest drivers in the Internet of Things. Through the Internet of Vehicles, cars can connect to mobile phones, entertainment, information, personal content, social media, work and health sports.
“The Internet of Things has the potential to change our society, economy and lifestyle.†Yin Fugen said, “As an industry, it is our responsibility to integrate resources in various fields and unite to make the future of the Internet of Things a reality.â€
Yin Fugen also stressed the importance of cross-border cooperation. He said that Samsung believes that the Internet of Things will have far-reaching effects, far exceeding the achievements of the consumer electronics industry today, because it will touch every aspect of people's lives and completely change every industry. In order to make the Internet of Things a success, companies in various industries will collaborate to build the necessary infrastructure and develop a number of IoT services tailored to the needs of consumers.
“I know that no single company or industry can provide the benefits of the Internet of Things.†Yin Fugen said, “In order to build the Internet of Things, we must see the potential of the Internet of Things in various industries. We can only be united. Improve people's lives."
