According to foreign media reports, Uber’s traffic fatal accident has touched the public’s sensitive nerves. This article has compiled public concerns and interpretations by foreign experts to help the public better understand the safety of autonomous driving . Let's take a look at the related content with the car electronics editor.
1. What is the operating principle of an autonomous car?
Autonomous vehicles use data from sensors, radars, and lidar sensors to “see†the external environment around the vehicle. In addition, this type of vehicle is equipped with a high-speed processor. After analyzing and processing the data, create a panoramic view showing the lanes, traffic, pedestrians, traffic signs, stoplights and other information on the driving path to ensure that the vehicle can Get relevant real-time information to complete driving and parking operations.
2. Why do engineers think that driving a car is safer?
US security regulators claim that 94% of crashes are attributed to human error. Automated cars can always send relevant warnings and put their attention on driving operations. In addition, the combination of artificial intelligence technology and road test experience can further enhance the driver's safety.
3. What is the cause of the traffic accident in Uber Arizona?
It was alleged that the on-board sensor and the alternate driver of the self-driving vehicle did not find a pedestrian in front of the vehicle, collided with Elaine Herzberg at a speed of 38 mph, and did not activate the brakes, resulting in the death of the latter. Afterwards, some media pointed out that Uber disabled the test vehicle, the anti-collision technology of the Volvo XC90, in the accident, which led to the tragedy.
4. Is the accident an incident?
The accident is under investigation and cannot be asserted. According to experts in the field of autonomous driving, the mature sensor should have been able to detect Herzberg, and the on-board sensor should have been able to detect Herzberg and enable braking. However, the crux of the autonomous driving technique is that it is difficult to distinguish pedestrians from other objects such as brushes and bags. When the driver in the test vehicle found Herzberg, it was too late.
5. What is the negative impact of the accident on autonomous driving?
After the accident, Uber suspended its autonomous driving program, which has reached millions of miles. Other companies, such as Toyota, have also been affected and have said they have suspended their autopilot drive test projects.
6. Who is the right to determine the safety of autonomous driving?
At present, all states in the United States have established relevant regulations for autonomous driving road test, but the US federal government has not yet issued a unified automatic driving road test regulations.
The US House approved a measure last September that allowed nearly 1,000 self-driving cars to drive road tests, while US federal regulators specified preliminary safety standards. At present, there is still a bill to discuss in the Senate. The Democratic Party expects to strengthen supervision and protect the personal safety of consumers.
7. The road to future development of autonomous driving?
Security advocates have called for autonomous driving road tests before Arizona issued a final ruling on the accident.
However, many companies still plan to advance their autopilot drive tests. Waymo offers unmanned commuter services in Phoenix, and Audi expects to launch the Audi A8 sedan in the near future to address traffic congestion. In addition, GM is committed to launching unmanned taxis next year.
Conclusion
Although this Uber accident is regrettable, autonomous driving is undoubtedly the trend of the times, and more advanced technology is needed to continuously improve the safety of vehicles.
It is estimated that governments will strengthen autopilot regulations and road test supervision. Many auto companies will continue to promote the development of autonomous driving technology, continuously improve their safety, and ultimately make the public accept such vehicles.
