The Internet of Vehicles technology is the first step to realize unmanned technology and intelligent transportation. In the first stage of the popularization of driverless technology, the Internet of Vehicles technology will usher in an explosive period.
Recently, Lexus announced the first Lexus equipped with Google's autonomous driving technology to conduct road tests in the United States. The driverless technology finally ended the empty cry of "only see the stairs ringing, no one is coming down." While Google is closely studying the commercialization of driverless driving, traditional car manufacturers represented by Volvo are also racing against time.
Volvo's unmanned prototype
At the "Future Traffic" sub-forum of the Chengdu Global Fortune Forum held in June this year, Lex Cosmecos, senior vice president of product strategy and product line management at Volvo Group, announced that Volvo will mass produce the world's first automatic in 2014. Driving skills and divides driverless technology into four phases: driver assistance, semi-automatic driving, highly automated driving and fully automated driving.
When you are tired after work, you are driving on a road with people and cars congested. You don't have to worry about collisions with the car in front because of the close distance between the cars. It is called the “near tireless third eye†collision forward warning. The system can predict driving hazards and alert the driver before a collision hazard occurs.
In the case of traffic speeds below 50 km/h, the technology known as the “crank assist system†allows you to get out of the steering wheel. According to the car detection system, your car can follow the traffic in front and maintain a certain distance automatically. Go forward.
If you are driving at night, the car camera and radar monitor the active obstacles in any obstacles while driving; the day gradually becomes black, as long as the active night vision system is turned on, the infrared lamps installed in the headlight group can make the human eye invisible. The road is illuminated.
These technologies are not imaginary, because some of the technology has been used in high-end models by Delphi, the largest component company in the United States, and Volvo's latest "blocking aid system" will be used in production models in 2014.
In 2013, Volvo further upgraded its automatic parking technology to allow cars to automatically find parking spaces and stop when they are unmanned. In terms of Internet of Vehicles technology, Volvo also said that within six months, all Volvo cars will be connected to i-Cloud. All the music media, TV, video, and Internet browsing used by the owner at home are in Volvo. The same can be used on the car.
From a professional point of view, these technologies are the prototype of driverless technology, and will gradually become popular in the first stage of driverless technology, so that driverless technology will no longer stay at the stage of “science fictionâ€.
In 2012, a Volvo driverless team drove 200 kilometers on the road outside Barcelona. Each car is equipped with a camera, radar, and laser sensor that keeps the truck in front of it and avoids other cars on the road. The staff sitting in the co-pilot position of a driverless car took a leisurely look at the magazine in his hand. When his car drove over the other vehicles on the road at 85 miles, no one showed a surprised expression.
Two obstacles to the Internet of Vehicles
Internet of Vehicles technology is the first step to realize unmanned technology and intelligent transportation. In the first stage of the popularization of driverless technology, the Internet of Vehicles technology will usher in an outbreak period. Currently, almost all vehicle companies are in the Internet of Vehicles. A lot of investment has been made in technology.
The vehicle network refers to the electronic tag loaded on the vehicle through the identification technology of wireless radio frequency, etc., to realize the extraction and effective utilization of the attribute information and static and dynamic information of all vehicles on the information network platform, and to all vehicles according to different functional requirements. The operational status is effectively regulated and provides integrated services.
Driverless technology and car networking technology are driving smart traffic to a new stage. All vehicles are interconnected through the network, and the information interaction between the vehicle and the car, the vehicle and the traffic command system not only improves the traffic efficiency, but also ensures the safety and the goal of zero traffic accidents.
At present, the main obstacle to the popularization of Internet of Vehicles technology comes from the game between vehicle manufacturers and network operators competing for dominance. BMW Motor Development Navigation System collects data from various traffic signal cameras and taxis throughout the city to release real-time traffic information for car owners.
In China, IT companies such as Baidu, Google, and Gaode have developed their own navigation systems to accurately judge the location. The biggest problem now is the broadcast of real-time traffic conditions, which can remind the driver of the road segment. In an emergency, network operators invest a lot of money to build an efficient and stable network.
Junlin, director of engineering for the Asia Pacific region at Delphi Electronics & Security, believes that to achieve true universalization, both parties need to take the lead. "Now the mainstream approach is still dominated by OEMs. The TSP companies and network companies led by OEMs are the most suitable models that need to be tested."
At this stage, different car companies are building a car network based on their own vehicles, and have made good progress. The next step should be to consider how to break the interconnection between cars and cars between different brands. This requires a set of standards that will be formed after the entire transportation system has reached an agreement.
Once the standard is formed, all vehicles can operate under a controlled state. The vehicle's control system can automatically avoid and change lanes when receiving the cloud command, and the vehicle is shunted through cloud data analysis. Solve traffic congestion.
Lex Cosmecos said: "From the perspective of traffic jams, reducing traffic jams, reducing carbon dioxide or other pollutant emissions, from the perspective of vehicle safety, this is a very meaningful concept. The key is how to promote this. Standards are implemented as much as possible, and how technology can be used to ensure the interoperability of vehicles between different brands."
In the future, due to the introduction of the Internet of Vehicles, TVs, computers, and mobile phones can be connected to the screens in the car. The degree of entertainment during driving is greatly enhanced. You can watch your favorite programs by turning on your home TV by voice during traffic jams. It can be video chat with friends during long-distance driving, but the security problems that come with it have also caused people's concerns and become one of the obstacles to the popularity of the Internet of Vehicles.
However, when you are in the middle of entertainment, when the concentration is affected or even the problem of fatigue driving, the car voice will remind the driver through monitoring, and even it can automatically disconnect the car network and force the driver to return to the safe area. . This is the driver condition monitoring system being developed by Delphi and is expected to be available in 2015 or 2016.
Vehicle dealers know better than IT vendors
Driverless technology is still in its infancy. The obstacles nowadays mainly come from the technical level. Unmanned driving requires the same perception ability of the vehicle, and requires a series of sensors, cameras, and radars. At the same time, the vehicle is required to achieve the same thinking ability through the artificial intelligence algorithm, which requires corresponding Semiconductor chips to support these algorithms; in addition, it involves the construction of communication channels.
These are not tasks that can be completed in the short term. The jungle also said that to be truly commoditized, it must go through some laws and regulations, and consumers' acceptance of this technology.
In the first stage of the unmanned technology popularization process, the two design modes represented by the IT company represented by Google and the traditional vehicle manufacturer have started the game. The former relies on strong back-end data, network technology, and intelligent software support to achieve a good connection between the car and the cloud. The vehicle manufacturers pay more attention to the practicality and safety of the vehicles. They “stick†to the car itself. The advantages.
For the future dominance of driverless, BMW said it will not give up the boundaries of electronic car products. "We know more about the parameters of the car than the IT company, and it can ensure the safety of the car." As Wei Rui, senior vice president of BMW China, said, you can allow your Apple phone to crash, but you can't allow your BMW. In the middle of the road crashes.
As a prelude to driverless technology, BMW has highlighted its interconnected driving technology in the Chinese market. Electronic and car interaction through car-mounted voice control functions, electronic systems such as audio and video players, air conditioners, power windows, mobile phones, global satellite positioning systems, satellite stations and Internet browsers can be controlled by voice recognition. This is convenient for the driver and passengers while ensuring safety during driving.
To achieve interconnected driving, we must rely on a developed network. China Unicom has opened an exclusive channel for BMW to enable a series of services for connected driving to transmit data through WCDMA 3G communication function modules installed in the car, and to drive vehicles and vehicles. Forming a complete ecosystem with the cloud, providing customers with 24/7 journey consultation and emergency services.
Lex believes that the future market size of autonomous driving depends on the maturity of autonomous driving technology and market demand, and autonomous driving will become a market trend in the next five to ten years.
