United States well-known Ford Motor Company was officially released this week the first self-driving cars, new models, this is still at the prototype stage name as "automatic Fusion Hybrid research vehicle" (Automated Fusion Hybrid Research Vehicle). It is reported that the cars by Ford, United States, University of Michigan (the University of Michigan), and the State farm insurance company (State Farm insurers) jointly developed.
Ford Vice President of global product development-Neil rush (Raj Nair) said in a statement: "automatic Fusion Hybrid research vehicle was mainly carried out in order to test the limitations of automatic driving the car, as well as set short to medium term expectation levels for the development of the area. ”
Ford said simply, "automatic Fusion Hybrid research vehicle" configuration based on traffic control, or stop the adaptive cruise control system (Adaptive cruise control), oriented to keep traffic lane keeping function and automatic parallel parking system.
In addition to these current advanced models can have a configuration, Ford said the company has "automatic Fusion Hybrid research vehicle" module is equipped with a range of modern technology. For example, the car is equipped with four infra-red sensors, probes and named "LiDar" optical sensing system. It is understood that this system on vehicle road around 2.5 million times per second scan, it works with bats and dolphins send Sonic form very similar, and can be based on infra-red reflective feedback to generate a 3D map of the vehicle surroundings.
Is to be noted that, "LiDar" four infra-red sensors of optical sensing system detects any move can be reflected back to the IR, the existence of stationary objects. Moreover, because of the very sensitive system induction head, distance even at a distance of a football field, it's time to tell whether the detected object is a paper bag or small animals.
Of course, because the car is still in the prototype stage, robotics and automation at the University of Michigan research team is still four infra-red sensors, high precision for the final optimization. Meanwhile, state farm insurance team is looking for ways to reduce the possible collision of driver assistance systems.
福特公布首款自动驾驶汽车原型车 - 福特,自动驾驶汽车 - IT资讯福特公布首款自动驾驶汽车原型车
美国知名福特汽车本周正式对外发布了公司首款自动驾驶汽车，这款尚处于原型车阶段的新车型全名为“自动Fusion Hybrid研究汽车”(Automated Fusion Hybrid Research Vehicle)。据悉，该车由福特、美国密歇根大学（the University of Michigan）和州立农业保险公司（State Farm insurers）联合开发。
福特全球产品开发副总裁拉什-奈尔(Raj Nair)在一份声明中表示：“开展自动Fusion Hybrid研究汽车主要是为了测试全自动驾驶汽车的局限性，同时为该领域定下近期至中期研发的期望水平。”
福特方面透露，“自动Fusion Hybrid研究汽车”配置了可以根据路况控制车速、甚至完全停车的自适应巡航系统（adaptive cruise control）、可以保持行车方向的车道保持功能以及平行自动泊车系统。
除了以上这些目前高级车型中都能拥有的配置外，福特表示公司还为“自动Fusion Hybrid研究汽车”配备了一系列现代化科技模块。比如，该车配备了四个红外线感应探头和名为“LiDar”的光量感应系统。据了解，这一系统可以每秒对车辆周边路况展开250万次的扫描，其工作原理同蝙蝠和海豚发出的声波形式非常类似，并且可以根据红外线的反射反馈生成一张车辆周边环境的3D地图。
需要指出的是，“LiDar”光量感应系统的四个红外线感应探头可以探测到任何一个可以反射回红外线的移动、静止物体的存在。而且，由于该系统的感应头非常灵敏，它甚至可以在距离一个足球场距离的时候就分辨出探测到的物体究竟是一个纸袋还是小动物。
当然，由于该车目前仍处于原型车阶段，密歇根大学的机器人和自动化研究团队仍然在为该车的四个高精度红外线感应头进行最后的优化。与此同时，州立农业保险公司的团队则在想方设法研究出减少该车可能发生追尾事故的驾驶辅助系统。
