Sophisticated Car Specifications Future

Sophisticated Car Specifications Future

A robot car equipped with electronic brain and laser eyes that can look to all sides and the direction in immediately, was made in Germany, to show to the public about the shadow of the future transportation, the car is equipped with computer systems that can control the rudder with no errors as the common people do.

The vehicle was named Junior by German scientists. They are the same as VW Passat vehicles generally blue. However, vehicles that have the ability to confront the city with the environment automatically, complete with traffic, cycles and one-way system with no one person is behind the wheel.

Junior will be included in the competition "Darpa Urban Challenge 2007" is a robot vehicle contest prizes worth U.S. $ 2 million. Many of the vehicles driven by the robot will participate in the competition to be held on 3 November in California in the United States to the Agency (NASA). All who participate in this competition should be required through a distance of 60 miles in six hours. The event is sponsored by the Advanced Research Projects (DARPA).

VW robotik vehicles that use the rudder control power satellites that will monitor the position with the GPS sensor equipment. Scanning system that combines the look-ray laser 64 which is an individual, will be to monitor all the way with a range of 50 meters distance. The car also has six video cameras.

Junior car brain itself can decide which route to take, read the map and process information from the instruments of the car up to 200 times per second.

Professor Sebastian Thrun, the head of one of the Junior team to the meeting said the Association of Science Technology advanced United States (States) (AAS) in San Francisco: "In the latest challenge no matter if a stone or a set of bushes into barriers, because you do that is only running. The challenge is the latest move after the catch for the environmental situation and understand what is in the environment. "

Cars robots this can not only avoid the collision of the car but also the system to handle many problems in other drive.

One of the scientists who participate in designing a smart car that is Dr Mike Montemerlo that make this car a robot capable of making decisions in driving.

Thrun said he also estimates the time period in 20 years, the car robot will be the usual things that we can meet on the road and create the atmosphere that is safe and convenient course.

"Currently we (robot car) can drive with the speed of 100 miles without human assistance," he said.

"In 2010 I predicted the speed the car robot can reach a thousand miles in the year 2020 and one million miles. In the year 2030 the car robot will be able to apply these technologies in the main road and passing ability will limit the people."

He also said the car robot will be able to find the road in the middle of war, can follow a vehicle that people who have run in front of, or be able to parade themselves can move.

"At the time the car can run your own then there will be a big change in all our lives," says Thurn. (* / cax)
