As early as a decade ago, autonomous driving was also considered to be the "black technology" of future car traffic, unpredictable and untouchable. However, Tesla's sudden emergence has changed the development of the automotive industry, and electricization, intelligence, and Internet have swept through.
More and more technology giants have entered the automotive field and shouted the revolutionary slogan of “subverting the tradition†and challenged the traditional automobile industry with imposing manner. Autopilot is the core of future transportation that technology giants are looking at. Google and Tesla are far ahead in this direction.
Because the various goals of urban roads are complicated, driving for urban roads is more complicated than that of highways for autonomous vehicles. Google's driverless cars have been upgraded to the latest software system, which can simultaneously monitor “hundreds of targetsâ€, including pedestrians, buses, a bike rider who makes a left turn gesture, and a person who protects students from crossing the road. Parking sign. At present, the mileage data recorded by Google's driverless cars has reached 700,000 miles.
Not to be outdone, Tesla introduced Autopilot 7.1 in October last year. This software allows drivers to hand over the driving system to the car while driving on the highway, and is hailed as the most advanced technology in the field. However, once the driver's hand has removed the steering wheel, the system will issue an alarm reminding him to put his hand back on the steering wheel and "ready to take over driving."
The products of Google and Tesla have brought unprecedented impact to people's concepts. In addition, various media's hype about autonomous driving technology seems to be everything that is ready for automatic driving. However, the problem of how to drive a car and a person driving a car without causing a traffic accident is still pending, but the huge security risks hidden by this hidden danger are ignored by the media.
On February 14, 2016, Google's driverless car collided with a bus during the Mountain View test. According to a report submitted by the DMV (California Motor Vehicle Authority), the Lexus RX450h, a Google-modified driverless car, changed lanes in order to avoid collisions with roadside sandbags when driving to an intersection, resulting in a crash. The bus of the driveway. Fortunately, the speed of the two cars is very slow. The speed of Google's driverless cars is only about 3.21km/h, and the bus speed is only 24km/h. Fortunately, there are no casualties. However, the Google driverless car was damaged, and the left wheel, the bezel and a sensor were damaged in the accident.
On May 7, 2016, a ModelS driverless car in Tesla was involved in a car accident and caused the death of the driver. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has begun a preliminary investigation of 25,000 Model S. The accident occurred on a section of central Florida, when a trailer was crossing the road and hit the Tesla Model S that was galloping. At this time, Tesla is in the automatic driving mode, but the car does not automatically brake and cause an accident. Tesla said: "Under the bright light of the sky, the autopilot function and the driver failed to find the white side of the trailer, so the brake function did not start.
Of course, this is not the first accident of a self-driving car. At the end of May 2016, Tesla, a European car owner, chased a large truck on the highway; before that, an American car owner, Tesla, ran into the vehicle on Interstate 5. These accidents occurred when Autopilot started, and did not cause personal injury, so it did not have a huge impact.
These are some of the painful lessons of "auto driving" after being deified. Although Tesla, Mercedes-Benz and other luxury brands are competing to introduce some different levels of auto-driving. But in fact, the autonomous driving technology is still in the testing stage, and there are certain risks in driving on public roads.
Tesla also acknowledges that its autonomous driving technology is still in the public beta stage, and users must be aware of the hidden risks when launching this feature. Musk once said that it's autopilot not autonomous at the press conference, even he himself did not recognize the translation of Autopilot as autonomous. In our commonly used Chinese explanation, the more accurate statement is assisted driving.
However, from the perspective of propaganda, this is not just a matter of correcting translation. The media is keen to report on all of Tesla's black technology, and autopilot is clearly more in line with Tesla's driving safety and cutting-edge technology leaders. Coupled with the successful use of Tesla's overwhelming video of Autopilot, the public has deepened its impression. Even Tesla has been warned about the dangers of autonomous driving, but it is clear that the image of the hands off the steering wheel is clearly more deeply rooted. On May 7th, Brown driving Tesla died on the spot after the crash. At the time he started the Autopilot mode, he concentrated on the Harry Potter in the car, and his car was extremely fast.
Tesla mentioned in the statement of the accident that Tesla's automatic driving mode is turned off by default, and the owner will mention the risk warning when starting the mode. However, for a technology that is still open beta, it is obviously an irresponsible behavior to give judgment to consumers. Tesla should clearly inform that the autopilot can be turned on, and the autopilot system is completely locked in some dangerous sections.
Since a few years ago, autonomous driving technology has become a must for major auto manufacturers. According to the data, there are currently 30 companies around the world dedicated to the development of self-driving cars. It is expected that the compound annual growth rate of self-driving cars will reach 134% in the next four years. However, this accident was the first automatic driving death accident, which sounded the alarm for all practitioners. Any advancement of technology should be cautious, even if it is a small risk, it may cause a great disaster.
