Recently, a United Kingdom Lutz Pathfinder drone officially open road test message caused numerous fans and tech enthusiasts curious, as a United Kingdom Government-led Lutz PAthfinder drone pilot project in Greenwich, Bristol, Milton Keynes and Coventry were the practical road test, including Park carrying visitors to the Park, railway station passenger tests. In fact, other than Lutz PAthfinder, the current unmanned aerial vehicle development can be described as being in a State of collective blowout.
Conventional car manufacturers: iPhone 5 case Ted Baker
A reference to unmanned, perhaps the first thing many people think is the drone project of Google, but unmanned in the process, traditional auto makers have done more. In these traditional car manufacturers seems, no driving is car technology update Diego generation of must product, from 1939 oz Mo than, company launched has first a automatically speed system, to 1958 Chrysler of cruise control system makes driving people without again always note driving speed; again to 1997 part Toyota car equipped with based on radar of since adapted cruise control, can and front automatically keep security driving distance; last to General car company President Dan Ammann said 2020 unmanned commercial can be opened, although traditional auto makers not Google the "one-step" great leap forward, but with nearly a century of automotive technology and accumulated to achieve unmanned technology to evolve.
Mercedes-Benz as the inventor of the car does not fall behind in the absence of cars. In September 2013, nearly a hundred kilometers of the Mercedes-Benz driverless car testing, more historic commemorates the contribution of automobile inventor Karl Benz, unmanned test distance at this time also used Benz auto testing for the first time with the year's Germany Mannheim to Pforzheim sections. Different Mercedes-Benz s-class car of driver assistance systems, this time of the road test is the real drone, one of the main hero is a short radar and camera, they combined with the perception of the surrounding environment.
In 2015 on the CES, Mercedes-Benz once again demonstrate unmanned achievements. F 015 Luxury in Motion of its unmanned automatic concept cars driving around the venue has won many people's attention. In unmanned with built-in 3D map data and GPS with the road independent planning body carrying a stereo camera, radar and Ultrasonic sensors can perceive the surrounding environment, and feedback to the the car's computer for processing, then the next instructions back to the mechanical transmission system. In addition to the above system, because the Extended Sense systems involved, this concept car is also able to communicate with surrounding vehicles, pedestrians, such as when a passer-by beckons, it can stop and yield.
As a rival of Mercedes-Benz, BMW drone is not far behind. In 2014, the CES show by BMW on a driverless car, but compared to other vendors to pursue sound test method for BMW to more radical, remote turn on the car's "ultimate mode" this driverless car can turn off traction control system of competitive drive, drift, flick, high speed obstacle avoidance is self-evident. Technology used in the explanation when BMW engineers say a large number of sensor array and high-precision GPS is a core element, which makes car PC won a substantial progress in human decision-making.
As a German "ABB", another Member of the Audi cars no one else have also invested a lot of energy, and has some practical results have been achieved, even announcing in 2017 will be foreign sale of unmanned version of the A8. Outside of A8 models, in fact, Audi A7 have been long on the practical road test, which earlier this year in the United States on the Interstate 5th test is most famous. Participants were arranged in an A7 car, car consists of six radar, three cameras and two light detection and ranging (LIDAR) unit environmental perception, then by the car's computer analysis of road along the way not only safe driving and even many overtaking moves.
Internet companies:
Unlike Mercedes ' traditional manufacturers like BMW, including Google, Baidu, music video, Internet companies in the field of unmanned more radical action.
Google driverless car projects are widely known experiment, Project Director of the artificial intelligence laboratory at Stanford University, Google engineer and one of the creators of Google Street view map service led SebAstiAn Thrun, a total of 7 test car, including 6 Toyota Prius and 1 Audi TT. 2012 United States Nevada awarded Google unmanned vehicles on the road after the license, as of today, Google completed a total of more than 700,000 kilometres of road test, which amounted to crash.
When it comes to unmanned technology, Google believes radar (Radar), lane keeping system (Lane-keeping), laser ranging system (LIDAR), an infrared camera (Infrared Camera), stereo (Stereo Vision), a GPS/inertial navigation system, wheel angle encoder (Wheel Encoder) is a core component. Because no set steering wheel, and throttle, and brake, traditional mechanical device, Google no car is Fletcher completely end of of automatically driving, its principle is car top of scan device launches 64 beam laser Ray, kept to on around environment for detection; again by bottom of system measurement out vehicles in three a direction Shang of acceleration, and angle speed, data; plus car camera by shooting of around real summary to car computer achieved physical environment of perception and analysis.
In terms of Internet companies in China, Baidu officially announced its driverless car projects in July 2014, based on earlier Baidu actually of unmanned vehicle projects already started, the person in charge is a senior scientist at Baidu Ni Kai. Baidu: the car is the branch of Robotics projects, is artificial intelligence-oriented projects and thus have important significance of radiation. Ted Baker iPhone cases
In actual operation in the, Baidu internal main is by Baidu map and Baidu in-depth research laboratory two a team is responsible for, purpose is should solution high precision map and artificial intelligence aspects of problem; in external cooperation Shang, Baidu select has and BMW for cooperation, on early,, Baidu in no driving aspects accumulated less, more is do data and service level, such as play Baidu map data of advantage and scene recognition of capacity, and in-depth of hardware manufacturing currently also is relies on BMW of led. But concern is different from Google's non-mechanical automatic transmission car, Baidu r driverless cars retained the traditional devices such as steering wheels, motorists once access driving, drone stops and control to be handed over to the driver.
Domestic automobile manufacturers:
Because long-term media coverage, many people think that unmanned foreign companies leading and cutting-edge Internet companies, in fact, independent research as good as at home, including university laboratories, military laboratories, independent car manufacturers have already begun to try to actually road test.
National Defense Science and Technology University and the Faw Hongqi HQ3 completed in 2011 alone the development of driverless cars, HQ3 looks no different from vehicles, also has a steering wheel and other gear. In 2011, the HQ3 from Changsha to Wuhan's road test, testing up to a distance of 286 km, active pass 67 times, more noteworthy is that this time the testing process also encountered fog and rainfall complicated weather.
Meanwhile, the people's Liberation Army Academy of military transportation in unmanned tests, and has entered the third generation product development process. As military traffic College independent development of no driving car code "slammed lion 3rd,", car Shang main of tool including 5 a radar, 3 a camera, 11 a satellite navigation instrument, relies on these configuration, it can achieved o road overtaking, and with car driving, and independent variable road, content, and has achieved has Beijing Taihu charges station to Tianjin Toray charges station of road measured, highest speed reached 115 km each hours, full 114 km, took 85 minutes, overtaking 33 times.

In terms of other manufacturers, BYD and Singapore laboratory study agreements reached to jointly develop unmanned projects; Geely rely on Volvo's safety technology in his experimental unmanned; GAC join hands in Chinese Academy of Sciences, no one test; SAIC is selected in the navigation section workers to carry out the relevant tests, said the drone development speed in China has followed the international pace.
Driverless cars as the future direction of industrial development, not only for the liberation of human hands increased utilization has a lot of help, but more important is to improve road safety and address the needs of specific usage scenarios, such as battlefield transport function, the park tour bus transportation. But new developments is not easy and that present no cars have been able to road test, though comprehensive actual road conditions may have a long way to go, especially intersections, in alleys, garage these complex scenarios for the current difficulty of small driverless cars. In addition, socio-legal, ethics for unmanned accept cognition also needs to be improved, such as unmanned vehicle collision liability defined need legal and moral perfection, said drone projects are not automobile manufacturers and Internet companies can be in a single solution, but requires the whole society to work together.
