With. And stephanie. Thirty and chat with musicians from around the world. Groups every week double. What happens if you watch a movie on a wii our head said why is speeding down the highway nothing bad if you leave the driving to Artificial Intelligence but ill be ready to do that is it really safe autonomous driving our topic on todays ship. Whenever i look at the car industrys prototypes i always get the us should jump right into this brave new world of innovation. The latest developments were unveiled at the recent Consumer Electronics show or c s in las vegas my personal favorite is a b r headset that lets you play games in the car audi and disney are collaborating on model year olds when the cost feeds up the spaceship and the game does to the virtual content takes cues from the cars movements for now its only meant for passengers but in a tone of most car game most could try it in the driving seat what else did the c. S. Have to offer. This is how many cities in visions of the future all autonomous tried in the past and just sit together with nobody at the wheel different models could be used to carry cargo for instance. Nissan has unveiled Technology Driving cars that can see around corners. It uses b. R. Headsets sensor data cameras and the nissan plowed. The system come point out free parking spots and even interesting sites along with. German automotive suppliers that are presented a robot taxi and. The passenger can go to recap and set off without the chauffeur and you can move passengers on route. Hears later speech or is facial recognition yet this fear inside is adjusted to suit the passengers mood cultivation intelligence reads emotions from their expressions. Its only a step away from adapting the driving style to suit their mood as well. Its going to take a little while before this Technology Becomes widely available were still a long way from the self driving car that lets us simply lays around on the back seat. So far only prototypes have been built but do you want to sound like youre on top of developments heres a quick review of autonomys driving sixty. Levels zero no automation the driver does everything him or herself level one Driver Assistance Systems like Cruise Control antilock brakes and a lane keeping assistant help the driver. Level to partial automation the car corrects for lane drifting and keeps a safe distance from other cars using brake assists or collision warnings level three conditional automation the driver can let go of the Steering Wheel for a time and doesnt have to monitor the systems constantly but in certain situations he or she has to take control if the onboard computer requires it level for high automation the vehicle operates all systems automatically but the driver can take over if desired. Level five full automation the car only needs to be started and have the destination entered human control of the steering and acceleration are no longer needed. By the way cars from level one and two already available they help drivers keep within their lanes or hit the brakes if necessary autonomous driving isnt available everywhere it needs fast reliable Data Networks comic as we lie on systems like the new five g. Cellular mo by a standard or dependable by five this is because the sensors in a ton of most cars have to process huge quantities of data up to nine hundred terabytes an hour that translates into nineteen thousand gigabytes my phones flat rate wouldnt get me wrong the next corner. So fos have driving cars are mostly restricted to test tricks but in chandler arizona things are different. In chandler arizona usa the future of driving has become reality. A selected number of the towns residents can use driving taxis to get around town since the driver only concedes and its hoffman remembers his first taxi ride get in sit down and watch the Steering Wheel turn on its own and you know its a big grin on my face the entire time look at the safety dry realize there are not driving the car the cars driving and thats just the coolest thing in the world and a big goofy grin my first all right. Has now signed up a few hundred customers for the experiment the taxis book five just as with liberal live. And the fares are similar. But not everyone is happy with the idea of so thriving cars on checking the streets many people are and they are totally against self driving vehicles because whats going to end up happening is youre going to have a lot of individuals who are going to know how to physically drive the vehicle right now knowing how to operate the cars the drop of the drive but in future the car will be taking on all the functions itself. Itll take a few years before cars hit the road without to drive us not only Technology Needs further development but also the laws need to be changed many legal issues are still open who is liable if a parking assistance system causes a fender bender the vehicles may go all his own and whose fault is it if a self driving cars injure somebody is the drive always liable or can a machine take the blame. In many countries the driver is responsible this ruling is based on the Vienna Convention on routes traffic signed by over seventy countries it allows the transfer of driving costs to the vehicle provided that the technologies can be overridden or switched off by the driver so it seems self driving cars are still not permitted the legal situation may be complex but so is the technology. We spoke to an expert on automated driving he works for one of germanys leading Research Institutes for road vehicles and were lucky started Automotive Technology has been working on autonomous driving for years even trying it out on the institutes test track we ask him to explain in more detail how self driving cars work. The Auto Industry is working on prototypes that are able to recognize their surroundings the technology includes cameras radar and ultrasound sensors they tell the car where it is and who for what is in the vicinity. A radar system is installed behind this logo so its not visible but the radar sense can see through the logo and. Down here we see a laser based gun on the lead us and. It registers the surroundings with one hundred eighty degree scan in front of the vehicle. Another radar sensor is installed next to it that monitors the area up to two hundred meters away. Or stick. Hidden away here on the side is a camera system. Its able to detect the road markings. And other vehicles on the road. But many of the sensors have their weak points they only work optimally and good weather conditions. And the dozens of cameras and lead a census optical system. Could in heavy rain big drops of water can be reflected. In if you have mentioned like human eyes they can be compromised in fog. Thats why we need this mix of senses cameras. All. The cars are also equipped with extremely Precise Digital maps. The navigational data road markings and stoplights as well as the houses and trees are recorded on Different Levels keeping these maps up to date in accurate is crucial current User Generated Content is also used to create the best possible digital maps. Well lets hope the onboard computer doesnt crash. But guess what our expert says is the biggest challenge in road traffic. I would say the human being is the most complicated element to driving. People dont always act logically and consistently and given circumstances studies have shown that both pedestrians and drivers in Different Countries react very differently and not everyone observes the rules of the road in an effort to gauge these unpredictable reactions better the researchers speed different kinds of Human Behavior into their algorithms. We have very different patterns of behavior one might be very conservative another might be very athletic are very aggressive kind of these patterns can be recognized and you can use the algorithms of Artificial Intelligence to store the most models so the vehicle can recognize accurately if the driver ahead is a conservative or aggressive driver and adapt accordingly. Drivers have always been accustomed to having control over the car and giving up that control can seem very strange and cause uncertainty so researchers analyzed human responses and test vehicles or on simulators. But in talk through ones which mention interaction between man and machine requires above all trust the driver has to be able to trust the system and he can only trust that if hes informed by the system so the display an operating concept plays an essential role in other words how the machine shows the human its next steps. The car has to communicate with me and i have got to listen peoples readiness to surrender control varies from country to country in the end malaysian and chinese drive us all the most willing. Oddly enough drivers in the big can make the nations would rather drive themselves with germany at the top of the list thirty one percent of those surveyed here say they would never willingly step into a self driving car skeptics are concerned about accidents caused by technical glitches losing control of their vehicles or hackers interfering henris like this are not to be taken lightly Autonomous Vehicles need Software Updates and must communicate with their surroundings that opens the door to potential hackers and fatal accidents involving said driving cars have already dampened the euphoria somewhat are we ready for driving in the future people in chandler way more is testing the self driving taxis have already attacked such vehicles several times with rocks and even knives people dont want to be guinea pigs in road traffic but what do you think are you looking forward to being chauffeured around and relaxing in autonomy.
