Unmanned 5 level Concept_ unmanned

According to the U.S. Highway Safety Administration's definition of smart cars, the full realization of unmanned intelligent vehicle development will go through five levels.

The first level is completely without intelligence level, at this level, the driver is the entire intelligent system's only decision-makers and the executor, the driver through controls the steering wheel, the accelerator, the brake, the gear position, the starter and so on implements the vehicle management. By the way, that's the most common car we've got.

The second level is a special function of intelligence, at this level, the vehicle began to have one or more automatic control functions, through the way of warning feedback to the driver to carry out the operation, to avoid the accident occurred. At this level, the intelligent system plays a part in the decision-making function, and the execution power is still owned by the driver. So we call this phase of intelligent technology as the auxiliary driving phase of intelligent technology.

According to different modes of operation, the auxiliary driving stage of intelligent technology can be divided into two kinds. One is autonomous auxiliary driving technology, in the framework of this technology, vehicles and vehicles do not generate information communication between vehicles in their respective forms of participation in the road traffic order. The technologies covered include forward collision early warning system, lane departure early warning system, lane keeping system, blind area detection system, night vision system, adaptive headlamps, etc. Yes, this series of technologies is now being popularized. In other words, right now we are in the second phase of an intelligent car society.

The second driving technology of intelligent technology becomes the cooperative auxiliary driving technology, which integrates the concept of vehicle networking with the autonomous auxiliary driving technology, and incorporates the communication of vehicle and vehicle into the auxiliary driving technology. In other words, the cooperative-assisted driving technology has developed a network of previously independent, autonomous, auxiliary driving technologies, and each vehicle's auxiliary driving system is no longer independent.

The 31st phase of intelligent Vehicle is the intelligent of many functions, in this phase, the Smart car will have at least two original control functions, and will combine these two or more original control functions, to achieve from the pilot to take over the original functions of the executive power, that is, semi-automatic driving technology. Similarly, semi-automatic driving technology in the current car society has also been the corresponding popularity, the most intuitive is the adaptive cruise system and the front collision early warning system functions of the integration of the rear-end automatic braking, in the induction to the imminent collision, the system will take a more rapid response than the driver to take over the implementation of the vehicle brake pedal power. In the future, I am afraid to join the integration Lane maintenance system and blind area detection system function, will also be added to the implementation of the power of change.

The fourth phase of an intelligent vehicle is unmanned under restrictive conditions. The birth of this stage means that the intelligent car development level into a highly automatic driving stage. In this phase, the intelligent car can be in a certain traffic environment to achieve completely autonomous driving. At this stage, vehicles can be detected by automatic detection of environmental changes to determine whether or not to return the vehicle's execution power to the driver. At the moment, many technology companies and auto companies are releasing unmanned cars that are basically at this stage, requiring a closed environment for road test conditions. As a mass production phase, unmanned drivers with restricted conditions will be the first to be used in low speed congestion or parking. The system's control over the vehicle's execution power includes the steering wheel, throttle, brakes, and so on. At present, this stage is still more in the laboratory stage.

The fifth level is the farthest stage we can see right now, unmanned under all conditions. At this level, vehicles can be fully and automatically driven in any road environment. This is also the furthest phase we can see. In terms of popularity, Folena's first self-driving truck has been approved by the California Highway earlier this year, the world's number one autonomous vehicle for access to highways. In this truck, drivers still play a monitoring role and have absolute control over the vehicle.

So, is it true that the final phase of the Smart car will allow us to enjoy the lives of the driverless? Or will the driving properties of the car disappear? Obviously not, from the fourth and fifth stages of smart cars, the advanced stage of intelligent automotive technology, we can all find a common denominator, that is, the absolute control of the driver is still retained. And from the point of view of the author, the absolute control of the vehicle will exist regardless of the stage of the development of the intelligent automobile, but not the overall intelligence of the sci-fi movie. Because it involves ethical and legal aspects of the relevant issues, in the human society for thousands of years to form a social structure, the human dominant power will not be weakened by the development of intelligence. On this issue, there is time for the author will further elaborate on this.
