Here, we will brief you on the autonomous vehicle of truth ...... 7
According to foreign media reports, the autonomous vehicles is expected to become a subversive technology, to bring about changes in many aspects of society. Although some automatic driving prototype has been leaked details about the automated driving technology in the news, but what to do about the automatic driving cars, can not do what the truth is still something of a mystery. This is not surprising, when little information when many misconceptions surrounding the autonomous vehicles will begin to spread. Here, we explain the truth about the automatic driving a car ......
Misunderstanding number one: autonomous vehicles can easily be hacked
In fact, in many ways, autonomous vehicles safer than conventional cars. But this misconception stems from 2015, when several of Wired magazine reporter conducted an experiment, one of their traditional, non-automated driving Jeep Cherokee (associated with network technology) can be a hacker remote control, even by hackers "driving" for some time. However, this experiment was carried out in 2015, and is now 2019, science and technology have been in progress. Moreover, even if the autopilot is the first operating system, when first released to the public is largely safe.
In fact, compared with conventional cars, autonomous vehicles more resistant to hacker attacks. Although there are many autonomous vehicles invaded entry points, but has a complex interconnectivity between multiple sensors and communication layer of autonomous vehicles, will lead to cyber attacks more difficult, particularly if such sensors also roads and intelligence other technology integrated with words. In addition, there are many unique solutions to solve autonomous vehicles susceptible to hacking problems, even such a solution may come from other industries, such as the Israeli network security company GuardKnox by deploying fighter jets to protect Israel's security technology to protect the entire fleet cars, buses and other vehicles safety.
Misunderstanding number two: autonomous vehicles will never become a reality, because many people enjoy driving
In fact, when autonomous vehicles large-scale application of the time, and will not end driving pleasure. Car manufacturers have not confiscated the car keys, or to stop the owners themselves driving a car without any physical robot sitting in the driver's seat, hands clenched on the steering wheel. Owners can drive yourself, but also such a heavy work can be left to the artificial intelligence (AI) to do it.
Misunderstanding number three: autonomous vehicles can not decide on life and death in traffic accident
At present, the main content of automotive research autopilot is not moral dilemmas and life and death decisions, but rather to prevent or avoid artificial intelligence (autonomous vehicles) must make such decisions accident. However, if the majority of cars on the road are autonomous vehicles, in fact, it will be more secure. On the one hand, it is difficult to determine a single vehicle autonomous vehicles will be more secure than human driving the car; however, if the technology become a global technology, the overall risk of traffic accidents will inevitably decline.
Compared with the human, the machine significantly less prone to "human error." So far, Google's autonomous vehicles (mileage has exceeded two million kilometers) from the 16 crashes that occur are due to human caused. In any case, automated driving will be (such as driver fatigue, driver distraction) in all areas where improvements can complement human skills.
Misunderstanding four: Due to autonomous vehicles expensive, so poor people can not have
Although the cost of autonomous vehicles will indeed higher than conventional cars, but with the development of the technology, "has a concept car" will change. First of all, most of the commercial fleet autonomous vehicles will be achieved (at least the early stages would be so), that means that when autonomous vehicles into the final consumer market, the technology is likely to have been enhanced and improved, and hence the price will be significantly reduced.
The second reason is that the concept of "car ownership" of changes will occur. Today, people need to have a car, because without driving, the car can not drive. In fact, the vast majority of the time the car parked on the street or garage. Once the car can drive automatically, shared ownership vehicles or subscription model using autonomous vehicles become more popular, will become cheaper.
Misunderstanding five: autonomous vehicles just like an ordinary car, the driver is not
No, these two types of cars are completely different. Construction of traditional car around the driver, while driving a car without the driver automatically because the design will be different. Autonomous vehicles interior design emphasis passenger comfort by removing unnecessary parts pedal, steering wheel and transmission control means to maximize the utilization of increased interior space. Moreover, the autonomous vehicles exterior design may no longer facing a particular direction, it may be designed as a circular type or box, and the seat may be disposed towards all directions.
Because many people may occasionally want to drive a car, so not every car will automatically drive a car like the shape of flying eggs. For many vehicles, the autopilot just a choice. However, in order to adapt to intelligent road driving and other environmental technologies, autonomous vehicles design may still be somewhat different.
Misunderstanding Six: As long as the intelligent autopilot software has been successfully designed, you can see autonomous vehicles on the road
In fact, the first city needs to make changes to accommodate the autonomous vehicles. First you need to install the smart streets, utility poles and street smart sensors and other devices, can we talk about automatic driving. The city needs to change, and likely to get better, because after the required number of cars will become less (car sharing, subscribe to use the car), and a lot of space for parking garage can be redesigned into a park for walking place.
Misunderstanding Seven: autonomous vehicles will always be a particularly expensive technology
Although autonomous vehicles research and development is very expensive, but once autonomous vehicles become mainstream, but it can save a lot of money in many ways. First, autonomous vehicles safer, and therefore for the maintenance and payment of insurance money will be less; secondly, autopilot higher vehicle efficiency, thus saving drive, fuel costs when parking, as well as the time due to traffic congestion and spent; In addition, more humane autonomous vehicles, which can help many people with disabilities return to work.
to sum up
Although the future related to autonomous vehicles is still a mystery, but we should have reservations about each so-called "truth" of the technology.
