Behind the development of driverless cars, what elite universities are supporting

Driverless cars have become a good vision for future urban transport, and governments have shown a supportive attitude toward the development of driverless cars. However, behind the development of these unmanned cars, which university's elite have been silently support?

In 2010, many Britons at London's Heathrow Airport witnessed many of the fantastic scenes of the unmanned car "Tra" (UT) carrying passengers and arriving at the station, which were developed by the British University of Bristol's United Kingdom Advanced Transportation Systems Corporation.

According to people at the University of Bristol, the "Youku" can reach 40-kilometer per hour and rely on batteries to generate power, and passengers can choose the destinations they want to travel by simply touching the screen. This year, four cities in the UK have opened intercity traffic tests for unmanned vehicles outside the airport.

This unmanned car, called MIG (made in Germany, Mig,made in GERMANY), was developed independently by the University of Berlin. 2011, "MIG" from the famous Berlin Brandenburger Tor, the Berlin International Conference Center, and returned safely to the starting point, during which the smooth passage of 46 traffic lights and bypass two roundabout, the entire trip nearly 20 kilometers.

However, Professor Royas, head of the AI Working Group at the University of Berlin, said: "There are many problems to be solved in driving driverless cars in cities."

Silicon Valley is the most magical place in the tech circle, and many of the hottest tech gadgets are born here. The development of Google's unmanned cars has combined the Stanford University, which has been a constant conduit for talent in Silicon Valley.

In 2005, the director of the Stanford University's artificial laboratory, Sebastian Trons, led a team of students and teachers to design a Stanley robot car and to win the second Grand Challenge competition organised by the Department of Defense's Senior research program. Finally, they are in Google's phase! According to the latest foreign media reports, Google driverless cars have been successfully conducted this year road test.

In January 2014, Ford launched the unmanned version of the Fusion hybrid vehicle for research and development and testing, a project developed by Ford in collaboration with the University of Michigan. Shortly thereafter, Ford spent $6.5 million to build a test lane for self-driving vehicles for vehicle research.

The unmanned version Fusion sedan uses four LiDAR infrared sensors to scan the road at speeds of 2.5 million times per second. The technology detects environmental conditions within 200 feet of a vehicle, and its sensors can distinguish a paper bag from a small animal beyond the size of a football field.

In fact, driverless cars are not only a product of foreign countries, we also have in China. Since the late 1980s, Professor Hehangen of our national Defense Science and Technology University has led his students to develop driverless cars. 2003, China's first high-speed unmanned vehicle developed successfully.

Red Flag HQ3

In mid-July 2011, the latest development of the red Flag HQ3 unmanned version of the successful completion of the 286 km from Changsha to Wuhan high-speed unmanned driving experiments, creating a Chinese independent development of unmanned vehicles in the complex traffic conditions of autonomous driving new record!

In 2013, the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore and the French technology company, Indouct, began to run the first unmanned electric vehicle in Asia on the South Campus.

Now, South University students can take the unmanned bus line in the school, arrived two kilometers outside the JTC company Clean Technology Park. Starting this year, the Singaporean government will also allow everyone to test driverless cars in the country's bustling community.
