In recent years, the rapid development of Internet technology has brought revolutionary opportunities for the automotive industry. At the same time, automotive intelligent technology is gradually being widely used. This technology makes the operation of the car easier and the driving safety is better. The most typical and most popular future application is the driver-less car. Perhaps this trend will enable unmanned cars to enter the public life earlier than new energy vehicles.
Unmanned driving means that the vehicle is equipped with intelligent software and + various sensing devices, including on-board sensors, radar, GPS and camera, to achieve independent and safe driving of the vehicle, safely and efficiently + reach the destination and achieve complete elimination of traffic accidents. The goal. The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) defines the level of automation for a car at 5 levels:
Level 0: Driven by the driver;
Level 1: With more than one type of automatic control functions (such as adaptive cruise and lane keeping system ACC);
Level 2: Perform multiple operating functions with the car as the main body;
Level 3: When using the car When the driving of the main body fails, the driver can be instructed to switch to manual driving;
Level 4: It can be completely unmanned.
Nowadays, more and more companies are beginning to get involved in this field, applying cutting-edge IT technology to the automotive field, and hope to bring more wonderful experiences for consumers to drive. McKinsey predicts that by 2025, driverless cars will generate between $200 billion and $1.9 trillion in output value; market research firm IHS predicts that in 2035, Class 4 full-drive vehicles will sell 4.8 million vehicles a year. For any industry, this has enough market temptation.
