Unmanned car technology being developed at this time, but experts at the world congress Scociety of Automotive Engineers, Detroit, USA, predicts still far from reality. This new technology still needs to be assessed further development and may only be marketed in 2025.
"In 2025 we might be time we begin to see there is an unmanned car on the road," comments Christian Schumacher, Head of Continental Automotive's Advanced Driver Assistance Systems North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was launched Detnews.
However, semi-tech unmanned car that was introduced several car manufacturers, such as pedestrian monitoring, guiding road congestion will be more quickly realized. The use of radar and cameras can keep pace with the cars around the vehicle to control the steering remains on track.
Until now this technology is still fragmentary, being the benefits of each particular brand. If, later on all the technologies together into unity, then the semi auto unmanned soon!
Priod Trial
Nissan Motor Company is currently testing the technology of unmanned car on the Leaf electric vehicle. Nissan demonstrated success through video documentation presented in congress. Leaf steering wheel can spin yourself, steer the car in order to avoid the potential for accidents.
The first warning came from an audio and visual alert on the dashboard before turning himself Leaf steering wheel and the brakes.
Concerns that a major hurdle on the technology of unmanned car is if it fails. As is known, many accidents occur on the road due to abnormal function of the vehicle, including driver distraction or drunk. The risk of damage to these technologies remain.
"If even a car-related accident occurred without crew, we will discuss other things," added Schumacher.
