See European manufacturers on the autopilot is doing

  Mercedes-Benz-Daimler has recently published the "Future Truck 2025" renderings, suddenly the media amazing, praised "running into no-driving (driving), truck more than the car." However, Mercedes-Benz this is not new, under Lao a Lao autopilot with everyone in the field of commercial vehicles "blend" was how.

  Continental: automatic driving faster than the universal electric vehicle

  In fact, as opposed to the "decision making retarded" host plant for parts manufacturers are driving the main pioneer and researcher, Germany, and Japan's most leading enterprises.

  For example, Germany continental (Continental) technical test drive was held at the beginning of October (TechRide2014) from mainland Japan company Christoph Hagedorn, President of city cars released from phase in 2018 to achieve "drone" and "Declaration".

  City's "road map" is:

  2018 parking (Parking Companion) and the team followed the system (Low Speed Companion) practical;

  2020 can also automatically shift/change lanes on the highway "Cruising Chauffeur" practical;

  2022 to 2025, under the condition of high speed long-distance automatic driving (Highway Chauffeur).

  According to Germany, Chairman of continental aiermaer-Degenhardt as saying last month: "make them network terminals (that is, interconnection workshop), automatic driving cars will be very easy to do......" he believes can networked vehicles in 2017 to reach 50%.

  In contrast, Degenhardt prospects do not look good for lithium-ion battery car, "(I) will send two or three years ago thought. Pure electric vehicles could be promising in China, commenced in other areas. "

  Valeo: we have to go in front of the vehicle

  "Want to make a car automatically drive must be realized by the cameras, millimeter-wave radar and laser sensors, (vehicle) on the perception of the surrounding environment. "In late May, Valeo Global Chief Executive Officer Mr Jacques ashenbuwa told the AutoLab press:" Fortunately is, we are full of technical reserves in these areas. "

  "Whether it is automatic, or partially automatic, halfway out of the Google has made auto makers feel pressure ... ... (Race between Internet companies and automobile manufacturers) who will win? I think it is important, above all, Valeo may provide their autonomous vehicle technology and related accessories. "

  In November 2013, Valeo Japan Fujitsu ten (one of Toyota's suppliers) agreed, cooperative development can help the vehicle inspection lane barriers of high precision sensors.

  "Hi" at the Paris Motor Show, show Valeo Park4U ® family of products, the series based on ultrasonic technology to monitor spaces at speeds up to 30 km/h, in the case of around 40 cm distance automatic parking and can be used day and night.

  Of course, not far behind other manufacturers, Denso company started last year for advanced driver assistance (ADAS), (4 m distance) lined up for uninterrupted testing of such technology. DENSO is currently in Japan new energy and industrial technology development organization (NEDO) project responsible for trucks and other commercial vehicles in project (started 2008), only to mention: the white line recognition under the condition of rainfall levels quite amazing (depth 50 mm is still reliable).

  European "hugs" research

  Since February this year, in Germany under the lead of foster's group, 29 vehicle manufacturers, parts suppliers, universities and the research institutions jointly launched the autonomous vehicle research project "AdaptIVe (Automated Driving Applications and Technologies for Intelligent Vehicles)".

  Key members of the agency research and technology companies including BMW, BMW, Daimler, Fiat Research Centre, Opel, Peugeot, Renault, Volkswagen, Volvo, Bosch, continental, Delphi,

  Although it looks "starting" late, but various studies have "drone", so is not a thing, current research project is "find driver and best collaboration for automation systems" approach is the use of 7-car vehicles and 1 truck, ran on the highways and urban roads in various places.

  Meanwhile, the EU also paid 250,000 euros to support the 42-month project, demonstrates how to perfect legal issues--such as how to define the future of self-driving cars of the manufacturers responsibility, drivers ought to abide by traffic regulations.

  Funny thing is, this organization did not bring the Volvo "play", is Sweden's technology is playing God? (Pure fun)

  Daimler's "future truck" how powerful? World robot Conference Smart equipped with competitive

  Well, let us look back to see "Future Truck 2025" project, and Mercedes-Benz to this truck is equipped with the "Highway Pilot" automatic driving system, head fitted with LED array and camera (rear, body has a corresponding sensor on both sides) used to capture traffic information around vehicle.

  Future Truck face before 2025 designs inspired by the stars, when you switch back into automatic mode, large size LED lamp group will appear as a pale yellow. Traditional exterior mirrors were abandoned, replaced by a camera. Camera captures video streams in real time are on display in the cab on the 12-inch screen.

  This summer, the "truck of the future" has been in Germany Magdeburg experiment on the A14 motorway, successfully realized at 80km/h speed automatic driving mode. Mercedes-Benz developers said that within the next 10 years, requirements for automatic driving technologies will be ready.

  Though practical for a long time, but Daimler head Wolfgang Bernhard has confidently predicted: "automatic driving was a future mainstay of our trucks, buses, and Office of the future into the driver's seat, the pilot will become transport managers. "

  We all know now, Daimler's "Future Truck 2025" should Europe's "AdaptIVe" part of the project.

  Automatic drive is necessary for commercial vehicles

  Select commercial vehicle OEMs and component manufacturers (particularly trucks) to experimental autopilot is "very timely and very necessary".

  According to the United States the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics in 2012 alone, 333,000 cases of car accidents involving commercial vehicles across the United States led to nearly 4000 people have been killed, the vast majority of passenger vehicles.

  And families compared to passenger cars, commercial vehicles (in particular freight) driver's fatigue driving situation is much more serious. Therefore, autonomous vehicle technology to reduce the number of traffic accidents and casualties, has been widely recognized authorities, car manufacturers, operators, its prospects and "money scene" than "driverless" car is more optimistic.

  AutoLab "autolab" is a focus on the auto business information micro public accounts by auto manufacturers, distributors, TMT, media, marketing, and other experts in the field of advisory missions, put together the auto industry think tank.

  AutoLab hopes to accompany Pan-car circles, to witness a traditional industry and the Internet collide to produce sparks, and deep concerns about all three industries the opportunity: new energy, telematics, aftermarket.
