What is the value of autonomous driving? What are the self driving cars

Advantages of self-driving cars.

1. The safety of self-driving cars has been greatly improved.

According to the World Health Organization, 1.24 million people die in traffic accidents worldwide every year, and this number could reach 2.2 million by 2030. In the United States alone, about 10,000 people die in traffic accidents each year. Self-driving cars have the potential to dramatically reduce the number of traffic accidents, potentially saving millions of lives.

Research by the Eno Centre for Transportation shows that if 90 percent of cars on U.S. roads were self-driving, the number of crashes would fall from 6 million to 1.3 million, and the number of fatalities would fall from 10,000 to 10,000.

Self-driving cars can avoid some traffic accidents caused by driver error, and can reduce the occurrence of drunk driving, malicious driving and other behaviors. So as to effectively improve the safety of road traffic.

In the past six years, Google's self-driving cars have driven more than 3 million kilometers and have only experienced 16 traffic accidents, and have never caused fatal incidents.

2. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In addition to saving lives, self-driving cars can help us save the planet. Because autonomous vehicles are optimized for acceleration, braking, and shifting, they can help improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. According to McKinsey & Company**, driverless cars help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 300 million tonnes per year, which is equivalent to half of the CO2 emissions of the aviation industry.

Autonomous vehicles can find the optimal way to accelerate, brake, and decelerate through its control system, effectively improve fuel efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas and harmful exhaust emissions, and be more environmentally friendly and energy-saving.

3. Relieve traffic pressure.

First, self-driving cars can dramatically reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents, thereby reducing the probability of traffic congestion due to accidents. Second, smart cars can monitor real-time road conditions through satellite navigation, so as to plan the optimal route, rather than the phenomenon of vehicles piling up as is the case today.

Self-driving cars can not only help reduce car accidents, but also dramatically reduce traffic congestion. According to the KPMG report, driverless cars can help increase the capacity of highways to accommodate cars by a factor of five. Sebation Thrun, a computer expert at Stanford University and a former expert on Google's self-driving car project, said that once robotic cars become mainstream, only 30 percent of cars will currently be needed on public roads.

Autonomous driving has several benefits: 1. Ensure the traffic safety of travel and reduce traffic accidents caused by factors such as driver fatigue and lack of concentration; 2. Improve the traffic environment and reduce road congestion; 3. Reduce the occurrence of traffic violations; 4. Reduce the impact on the environment.

Save labor costs!! But the cost is still high!

1.Improve traffic safety. Autonomous vehicles are not subject to human psychological and emotional interference, and can effectively reduce traffic accidents caused by human negligence by driving according to the planned route.

2.Achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. As a result of the realization of shared mobility through rational scheduling, the absolute number of vehicles will be reduced, and greenhouse gas emissions will be significantly reduced.

3.Eliminate traffic congestion and improve social efficiency. Self-driving cars can reduce commute time by increasing speeds, reducing distances, and choosing more efficient routes.

Labor costs can be saved.

Autonomous driving models include: Tesla Model X, Volvo XC90, Audi Q7, etc. Self-driving cars, also known as driverless cars, computer-driven cars, or wheeled mobile robots, are a kind of intelligent cars that realize unmanned driving through computer systems.

Autonomous driving technology relies on a number of sensors and computers, including cameras, radar sensors, and laser rangefinders, to understand the traffic around you and navigate the road ahead with a detailed map (a map collected by a manned car).

According to the level of automation, there are four stages of autonomous driving: driver assistance, partial automation, high automation, and full automation, and many engineers and technology companies are actively developing autonomous driving technology.

Autonomous vehicles can enable people to carpool, dramatically reducing the use of cars and creating the "highway trains of tomorrow". These highway trains reduce energy consumption and increase capacity on major roads. In terms of time savings, the U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that people spend an average of 52 minutes commuting to work each workday.

In the future, people can use this time in a more efficient way.

Security

Self-driving cars have always been equipped with drivers. Our highly trained drivers follow the car at all times, and they can take over the car as easily as if they were disarming cruise control. In addition, we have trained software operators in the passenger seat to monitor the software operation.

Before all the tests are carried out, we send a driver to drive a normal car to understand the route and road conditions.

By adding features such as road markings and traffic signs, the in-vehicle software can familiarize itself with its surroundings and special features in advance. Also inform the local area in advance of work**.

Let's start by explaining what a self-driving car is: in layman's terms, it's a smartphone with four wheels. Once the destination is set, the car plans its own path and drives itself to the destination.

Self-driving cars include: Tesla Model X, NIO ES8, Xpeng P7, Volvo XC90, Audi Q7, Jidu Automobile, etc.

1. Geely Binrui

Geely Binrui is the first sedan product launched by Geely Automobile's global platform BMA platform, which adopts Geely's latest 3 0 era family design style in appearance, and the front grille adopts a ripple grille design.

2. FAW-Volkswagen Tanyue

FAW-Volkswagen Tanyue is the first mid-size SUV launched by FAW-Volkswagen, and it is also an important step for the Volkswagen Group to deploy in the Chinese SUV market.

3. Changan CS55

Changan CS55 has an automatic driving configuration of the model is 1 5T cool and Xuanzhi, the guide price is 12 490 million yuan and the top configuration is 13 390 thousand yuan, which means that 12 490 thousand yuan can have a compact SUV with L2 level automatic driving, which is quite cost-effective. The L2 autonomous driving assistance of the Changan CS55 is called IACC.

The Changan CS55 can not only realize the regular operation of L2 level autonomous driving, but also add TSR speed limit sign recognition, FAB intelligent high and low beam control, and ForestAir forest air purification system.

Key advantages: In the case of autopilot, although it is possible to "drive" the vehicle independently, people still need to observe and control it at all times, especially when they are facing a traffic accident. That is, the autonomous driving system is really just a higher technological "adjuvant" technology, which still needs to be influenced and monitored by humans.

Based on the above considerations, Tesla China must change the Chinese translation of autopilot from "autonomous driving" to "automatic assisted driving". It can be said that at this stage, autonomous driving technology is a stage of "manual driving, autonomous driving supplement", and there are many obstacles from "unmanned" "unmanned".

Autonomous AI is not far away!

Let's say a few, for reference:

1. Jidu robo-01

It uses Apollo's autonomous driving technology, and Jidu has also developed its own jet, plus various hardware additions, so it has high-level autonomous driving capabilities.

2. Tesla Model Y

Tesla's Model Y's self-driving capabilities are obvious to all.

There are also new forces such as car manufacturers, which are also vigorously developing autonomous driving, so autonomous driving may become a basic function of cars in the future!

The best self-driving car at the moment is Tesla.

All Tesla cars have automatic driving, Tesla can achieve automatic driving, and Tesla's autonomous driving technology is actually L2 autonomous driving. Autonomous driving is Tesla's soul configuration, but Tesla has not achieved full self-driving, and its automatic driving system is precisely a driving assistance system.

The system consists of 8 cameras with a 360-degree view range and a monitoring distance of up to 250 meters. The vehicle's 12 ultrasonic sensors complete the vision system, detecting and sensing hard and soft objects at twice as long as the previous generation.

Assistance systems

FSD stands for Full Self-Drive, which is a fully self-driving system launched by Tesla, including functions such as autonomous navigation, automatic lane change, automatic parking, summoning and traffic lights, and stop sign control. Autopilot also requires active monitoring by the driver, Autopilot is not a panacea, it is always just an auxiliary function, so even if Autopilot is turned on, the driver should keep holding the steering wheel.

Automatic lane change and navigation assistance can only be achieved under the premise of safe driving, and in order to avoid accidents, be careful not to let go of driving.

Autonomous driving technology is rapidly evolving, and it is likely to bring about large-scale changes in the future. If autonomous driving technology is widely adopted, it could cost many people their jobs, such as drivers in taxis, buses, trucks, and other industries. However, this does not mean that all drivers will be unemployed, as in many cases, human drivers are still indispensable.

Until now, autonomous driving technology has only been suitable for specific scenarios and conditions. On highways, for example, autonomous driving technology may be safer and more efficient than human drivers. In unconventional scenarios, such as busy streets in cities or large construction sites, autonomous driving technology can be challenging, requiring human involvement to ensure safety.

And even if the autonomous driving technology is mature, there are still many vehicles and transportation facilities that need to be operated by drivers, such as shuttles, buses, taxis, etc., and the driver's service in these vehicles is often inseparable from human wisdom and experience.

Overall, autonomous driving technology is likely to have an impact on some drivers, especially those who have been drivers for a long time. However, it could also create many new jobs, such as R&D, maintenance, monitoring and installation of autonomous driving technology. So, while the future of transportation will gradually change, the overall impact on the job market remains to be seen and assessed.

What is autonomous driving: It is an automatic control system that does not require human control. Hope.

What is Level 1 Level 5 autonomous driving? The secrets are here.

In layman's terms, autonomous driving is the self-driving of the car, without the need for manual control of the car.

How cars are autonomous:

Autonomous driving is the use of advanced communication, computer, network and control technologies to achieve real-time and continuous control of the car. Using modern means of communication, directly facing the car, two-way data communication between the vehicle and the ground can be realized, the transmission rate is fast, the amount of information is large, the follow-up tracking car and the control center can timely know the exact location of the car in front, so that the operation management is more flexible, the control is more effective, and it is more suitable for the needs of automatic driving.

What are the self-driving car companies now?

Jidu, Tesla, Volkswagen, Ford, etc.

Self-driving cars, also known as driverless cars, computer-driven cars or wheeled mobile robots, are unmanned ground vehicles that transport power. As autonomous vehicles, self-driving cars can sense their environment and navigate without human intervention.

0: i.e. no automatic. The driver is in control of all the mechanical and physical functions of the vehicle at all times, and only the functions that are not related to active driving, such as alarm devices, are counted.

Without autonomous driving, the driver is completely manual and cannot be distracted at all.

Grade. 1: The driver operates the vehicle, but individual devices such as the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) or Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) can sometimes help with driving safety.

It's just that it can play an auxiliary role, and the main driver is still the driver.

Grade. 2: The driver mainly controls the vehicle, but the system is gradually automated, so that it significantly reduces the operating burden, such as Active Cruise Control (ACC) combined with automatic following and lane departure warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEB) through the combination of blind spot detection and some of the technologies of the car collision avoidance system.

Grade. 3: The driver needs to be ready to control the vehicle at any time, during the automatic driving assistance control, such as when following the car, although it can be temporarily exempted from operation, but when the car detects the need for the driver, it will immediately return to let the driver take over its follow-up control, and the driver must take over the situation that the system is unable to handle.

Grade. 4: The driver can let the vehicle drive completely under the conditions permitted, after starting the automatic driving, generally do not need to intervene in the control, the car can be in accordance with the set road rules (such as the highway, smooth traffic flow and standardized road signs, obvious prompt lines), including turning, lane change and acceleration, etc., except for the harsh weather or the road is blurred, accidents, or the road section of the automatic driving has ended, etc., the system and provide the driver with "enough time to change", the driver should monitor the operation of the vehicle, However, it can include unmanned parking with bystanders.

5: The driver does not have to be in the car and will not be in control of the vehicle at any time. This type of vehicle can start the driving device on its own, and can perform all important safety-related functions without driving in the designed road conditions during the whole process, including when no one is in the car, and can make decisions without being controlled by the driver's will.
