According to the current development direction of smart car technology, the vehicle can eventually achieve automatic driving and automatic control. Moreover, these self-driving vehicles do not operate independently, but use sensors and V2X interactive technology to realize the interaction between the car and the external environment, as well as the information between the car and the car, thereby achieving accurate and safe automatic driving functions. It can mature in three years, so in future road traffic, car accidents will rarely occur, at least under normal operation, it is difficult to have a collision accident.
Bosch Automobiles and other big brothers are studying this technology. Mr. Frank S. Sgambati, Director of Chassis Control Systems at Bosch Automobiles, said that Bosch Automobiles is working on a new generation of driver assistance systems that will enable "collision-free" driving.
One thing we should pay attention to is that the information system can also have errors and crashes, but some experts also pointed out that this problem can be solved by installing a backup system. If the main system crashes, then the backup system can also achieve safe driving operations. This system may greatly reduce the number of casualties and property losses caused by car accidents in the future. According to the data model, this system can save 30,000 lives every year, which has far-reaching significance.
In the history of automobile development, driving safety has always been valued. Car companies have spent a lot of manpower and resources to study how to reduce the injuries suffered by drivers and passengers in car accidents, and install a large number of safety facilities on vehicles. However, based on current information interaction technology, self-driving cars may no longer need a series of safety measures such as high-strength steel structures, roll cages, and airbags through intelligent anti-collision systems. In this way, the weight of the car can be greatly reduced .
Through the anti-collision system, not only the weight of the car itself can be reduced, but also the space for driving control and anti-collision safety measures in the car can be used to achieve other functions. These spaces can be used to build a mobile office or reconstruct the space to meet the vehicle. Different needs of users. In addition, anti-collision smart cars will have a profound impact on today's vehicle design, development and specific manufacturing processes, manufacturing costs and even production tools.
However, not everyone is willing to accept this change. This kind of thing that has a major impact on the entire automotive industry will feel cold in the back. For example, steel producers may suffer a sharp decline in sales, and the lightweight and connection density requirements for steel frames may be replaced by new materials, while power suppliers, on the contrary, their sales will increase significantly due to increased demand. At present, new energy electric vehicles are showing this trend, and big players such as State Grid Electric Power and China Southern Power Grid have participated in the battle of charging and power supply infrastructure construction. In addition, in the production mode of anti-collision cars, the car production chain will become shorter, a bit like what we often say "software-defined cars." In terms of testing, the requirements will be much simpler than the current car production model. This can also force the new energy automobile industry and the fast-moving consumer goods industry such as power consumer products to pay attention to the resource mismatch between each other in the industry chain.
If the development of traditional cars in the direction of anti-collision smart cars is regarded as a change, then the scope of this change will be far beyond the automobile manufacturing industry. Although it is possible to find new after-sales or private custom markets, existing shops engaged in car repair and maintenance may still lose a lot of markets. Emergency centers and hospitals can also be more deserted. In modern society, car accidents are a major cause of accidental medical treatment. According to statistics, this change will reduce 2 million injured people who need to be sent to the emergency room, and 240,000 people who need to be sent to the hospital. But for the insurance industry, it is not good news. Traffic accident insurance is a considerable income item that the insurance industry must have for a long-term stability. If the anti-collision smart car is successfully listed, it will not only affect the traffic accident insurance, but may be based on all the insurance of the driver Will fade out of the market.
In addition to its impact on the commercial market, autonomous vehicles may also require the cooperation of government authorities. For example, relevant traffic laws and regulations may need to be modified to adapt to the vehicle's automatic driving mode. The government will face a reduction in traffic violation fines and the decline in income and unemployment caused by highway patrols that are no longer required by autonomous driving. Of course, the government can also consider charging other fees to balance this issue, for example, collecting facility fees, including probes, monitors, IoV sensors, digitally transformed regulatory platforms and infrastructure, and requiring a lot of professional maintenance later.
At present, Surad Technology provides automotive CAN bus data for a large number of anti-collision intelligent vehicles, mainly including core data such as vehicle speed, steering angle, braking signal, turn signal, accelerator pedal depth, etc. Automotive data support and data collection services for various automotive sensors. In the high-safety smart car driving assistance operating system, a set of reliable data models, representation methods, and systems are even more needed in the case of multi-variable car driving, sudden events, driving conditions, and driving conditions. Composition and simulation research. Based on the actual driving information, it is possible to infer whether the action currently taken is safe or to carry out the next violation warning mechanism and the newly selected safe driving model, or even directly manipulate the car to ensure the safety of the driver. The future of smart car systems is like an airplane, with a built-in "black box" that will continue to advance steadily and reliably in continuous testing and data model building.
Eventually, the size, shape and design of the vehicle may be completely subverted, which is a huge potential business opportunity for software companies, automotive electronics and smart car design, production companies and related equipment and manufacturing capabilities.
