Self-driving cars (self-driving cars; Self-driving car, also known as driverless car, computer-driven car, or wheeled mobile robot, is a kind of intelligent car that realizes unmanned driving through computer system. It has a history of several decades in the 20th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, it showed a trend towards practicality.
Self-driving cars rely on the cooperation of artificial intelligence, visual computing, radar, monitoring equipment and global positioning system, so that computers can automatically and safely operate motor vehicles without any human initiative.
safe
Self-driving cars are always equipped with drivers. Our trained drivers will always follow the car, and they can take over the car as easily as cruise control. In addition, we have trained software operators sitting in the passenger seat to monitor the software operation. Before all tests, we will send drivers to drive ordinary cars to understand the route and road conditions. By adding road signs, traffic signs and other functions, in-vehicle software can be familiar with the surrounding environment and special functions in advance. You should also notify the local police in advance before work.
energy consumption
Self-driving cars can encourage people to carpool, greatly reduce the use of cars and create "road trains". These high-speed trains can reduce energy consumption and increase the capacity of main roads. In terms of saving time, the US Department of Transportation estimates that people spend an average of 52 minutes on their way to and from work every working day. In the future, people can use this time more effectively.
