At present, self-driving technology has become the latest development direction of the whole automobile industry. The application of autopilot technology can comprehensively improve the safety and comfort of car driving and meet the higher-level market demand.

The current problems of autopilot

With regard to autopilot technology, we are probably most familiar with the autopilot technology carried in Tesla's car, but Tesla's owner has also had an accident when using autopilot mode. Although the level of Tesla's autopilot technology is still low, it also represents the overall status quo of the industry, that is, the development of autopilot technology is not yet mature, there are certain safety risks.

This shows that autopilot technology still has a long and arduous development process from mature application, rather than overnight.

The development of autopilot is also phased, in the early stage of development, autopilot technology is more applied to driving assistance systems and all kinds of autopilot systems, and its ultimate stage is to achieve complete self-driving.

We must also admit that under the current conditions, autopilot cannot guarantee 100% safety, because the machine will also break down and the algorithm is still flawed, but human driving is also unable to achieve 100% safety. As long as autopilot surpasses humans in safety and effectively reduces the number of car accident deaths worldwide every year, its safety and reliability cannot be denied. You know, even airplanes, which had a very high accident rate in the early days, have long been popular today.

Autopilot is an inevitable trend

With the progress and development of science and technology, autopilot will be the inevitable trend of the automobile industry in the future.

Because from a human point of view, human beings always hate repetitive and inefficient tasks, and they don't bother to do it, so they let tools do it and automate repetitive tasks. For most people, driving is a repetitive and inefficient task, and letting tools do it is obviously more in line with the trend of technological development. With the continuous development of industry and information technology, the world is moving towards a high degree of automation and intelligence.

From the perspective of efficiency, if self-driving cars are widely used, it can obviously greatly improve efficiency and save time. The emergence of self-driving taxi fleet will greatly increase the utilization rate of cars, improve traffic congestion, and be more environmentally friendly!

From the perspective of the history of automobile development, it is the technological changes that have contributed to the situation today, and each change has promoted the great progress of the society.

In 1886, Karl Benz invented the tricycle, which was first driven by Karl Benz's wife, which marked the emergence of the internal combustion engine.

In 1913, Ford developed the Model T and began mass production on the assembly line, and the car gradually replaced the horse-drawn carriage.

In the late 1990s, new energy systems emerged and electric vehicles began to rise.

In the 21st century, the electric, intelligent and network-connected automobile has become a development trend.

Present situation of autopilot

Due to the reasons of cost, technology and social regulations, the self-driving of passenger cars, especially in the private car market, is immature and far from landing. From the point of view of the current self-driving technology and environment, safety can only be ensured by running at a low speed on a specific route at a specific location.

In recent years, China, the United States, Japan, Singapore, Britain, Germany and many other countries have launched driverless road tests, and some countries and regions have promulgated laws and regulations on driverless cars on the road.

At present, the domestic self-driving technology has made great progress, and self-driving cars have been gradually recognized by the public. As of April this year, our country has issued 109 autopilot road test licenses, and the Chinese car market has paved a wide road for autopilot.

On May 8, 2018, Shanghai Jiaotong University, which is strong in the field of self-driving, officially announced that its self-driving minibus will be put into trial operation on campus. As long as students use Wechat to scan the code on the minibus platform and click the call vehicle button, they can call the minibus to pick it up in real time. Minibuses can not only drive independently, but also automatically avoid pedestrians.

Judging from the current situation, after several years of technology accumulation, autopilot technology has emerged in the field of public transport and began to land. It is believed that it will be used on a large scale in the near future. In addition, the landing of autopilot technology in the field of unmanned distribution such as express delivery and takeout is also worth looking forward to.

Prospect

Accurate positioning and navigation is one of the most important parts to realize autopilot. Only by realizing the refinement of accurate positioning and navigation can the safety and reliability of self-driving be guaranteed. The current autopilot technology is still not accurate enough to perceive the external environment.

At present, there is no clear development direction for autopilot, and now the mainstream technology is to install a large number of sensors-radar, infrared, laser rangefinder, camera, etc., which makes the cost of autopilot soar, but also has a certain delay.

With the development of 5G and artificial intelligence, the Internet of things will achieve an unprecedented breakthrough. at that time, even if the two cars are very close, they can receive the next actions of each other almost at the same time, thus avoiding traffic accidents to the greatest extent.

In the era of 5G Internet of everything, autopilot will get more room for improvement and usher in a new level, which will usher in new opportunities and challenges in many industries.
