In 2016, the most popular word in the automotive industry is not "automatic driving". Whether it is a traditional car company or an Internet company, they are all trying to drive the field automatically, and intend to seize the opportunity of the car market.
Can the autopilot industry be mixed with the car industry?In fact, it is not easy to build a car. The car manufacturers have their own set of car design standards, and their core components are generally developed independently. What's important is that any mistake in one link poses a safety hazard to drivers and occupants. The difficulty factor of autonomous driving is more stringent for manufacturers or Internet companies entering the border. This will inevitably lead to difficulties and obstacles on the road of research and development of some enterprises.
Uber stops autopilot car passenger service test
Under the pressure of the regulatory authorities, U.S. taxi service service operator Uber stopped the self-driving car passenger test in San Francisco, California, on the 22nd, and is preparing to conduct a new round of testing in Arizona.
The earliest date can be traced back to the 14th of this month. Uber began testing the passenger service provided by the Volvo XC90 sports utility vehicle with autopilot technology at its headquarters in San Francisco. Initially, Uber was deemed illegal by the California Motor Vehicle Authority because it did not apply for autonomous vehicle test licenses in accordance with California regulations. The test was stopped at the beginning. However, Uber did not obey, insisting that the autopilot technology tested is still in the early stage, and the car does not have the conditions for autonomous driving under unsupervised conditions, and is not subject to the relevant regulations of California.
After a stalemate between the two sides, the California Motor Vehicle Authority cancelled the registration of the 16 autopilot cars used for testing on the 21st of this month, making it impossible to continue legally in California. After being forced to stop the self-driving car passenger service test in San Francisco, Uber shipped the test vehicle to Arizona on the 22nd and said it would launch a self-driving car passenger service test in Arizona in support of it a few weeks later.
Tesla Autopilot 2 is launched next week
Compared with Uber's small hardships, Tesla's automatic driving research and development can be described as ups and downs. In the middle of this year, the Tesla electric car suffered the death of the world's first automatic driving system. At one time, the Tesla automatic driving system became the target of public criticism.
Some insiders believe that Tesla and Musk are too hasty in the commercialization of new technologies, and the actual "assisted driving technology" as "autopilot" to promote, posing confusion and security risks for consumers. Tesla then began to significantly improve the functionality and safety of the autonomous driving system.
However, Tesla has reported good news recently. Tesla CEO Musk disclosed that Tesla is developing a new version of the autopilot system "Autopilot", which is expected to be officially launched next week. According to the US technology news website TheVerge, on December 23, Musk posted on the Twitter website: "It seems that we may launch most of Autopilot's features for HW2 hardware before next weekend."
The “HW2†mentioned by Musk refers to the automatic driving hardware equipment that Tesla's new electric vehicle will be equipped with, which will be equipped with the new Autopilot software to provide drivers with more advanced automatic driving and assisted driving functions. It is reported that the second generation of autopilot hardware includes 8 cameras, 1 radar, several ultrasonic sensors, and a high-performance computer for image processing and artificial intelligence neural networks.
With the advancement and maturity of technology, the development of future autonomous driving technology will change people's lives, but in this development process, how to improve the safety of autonomous driving, how the government should improve the relevant policies, is also in all countries Consider the issue.
