In today's growing automotive industry, I don't know if you have ever imagined such a scenario: When you work in the unit, the car in your house will automatically pick up the child at school; if you go to work everyday, you just have to sit comfortably in the car and the car will Take you to the company as long as you set the address. Most people will feel that this life is a little bit far away from us! Although self-driving cars have not yet entered our daily lives, there is no doubt that autopilot has become one of the most promising future automotive technologies. Traditional car manufacturers have made rapid progress in the development of autonomous driving and driverless technologies. Is autopilot and driverless driving the same thing?

An old academician who specializes in artificial intelligence mentioned that autopilot and driverless drivers are different. Autopilot determines the driving behavior of a person. The vehicle can be opened by himself or he can use the autopilot function. One level of automatic driving is to fully hand over the vehicle to the machine, without a steering wheel, no throttle, and a start and stop button. So in essence there is a difference between the two. According to the introduction, there is also a higher level called "people-oriented human-computer collaboration and co-drive". Vehicles can not only achieve driverless driving, but also can realize human-vehicle interaction, similar to the functions of intelligent robots.

So autopilot is not the same as driverless driving. The latter is only a part of the former. Driverless technology has more demanding technical requirements than autopilot technology. Most of the autopilot technologies we see so far are based on the The situation of the driver in the vehicle, that is to say the role of the driver sitting in the driving position, is to properly interfere with the driving of the vehicle, so that in some unexpected situations, the driver can use his own way to perform reasonable disposal. So what are the stages of automatic driving development? Here we take a look at the development of Audi's autonomous driving technology:

Level 1 (Driver Assistance): The driver assistance system provides the driver with the necessary information for driving and gives clear, precise warnings at critical times. The relevant technologies are: Lane Departure Warning (LDW), frontal collision Warning (FCW) and Blind Spot Information System.

Level 2 (Semi-autonomous driving): When the driver is still unable to make appropriate measures after being warned, the semi-automatic system can automatically react in the car. The related technologies are: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Emergency Automatic Braking (AEB), Emergency Lane Assistance (ELA).

Level 3 (Highly Automated Driving): The system mainly relies on the sensors of the car itself to monitor the road conditions so that the vehicles can safely drive on the road, but this must be under the driver's control. , And the duration of the automatic control driving process provided by the car is dynamically changed according to the surrounding environment.

Level 4 (fully automatic driving): The car can operate all safety-related driving functions by itself, and can detect road conditions and traffic lights through Internet information transmission. In this case, the car can fully realize automatic driving. Just give the navigation system a destination and the rest is left to the car itself, which means that the driver can do other activities in the car, such as working online, sleeping or playing, and now very popular Google Self-driving cars can already reach this level.

In China, despite the painful road conditions, people feel that autopilot is very far away from us. For the promotion of autopilot, Miao Miao, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, is optimistic. Miao Xie thinks that this smart car target can be achieved without driver. However, there is still a lot of difficulties to be overcome, including legal issues. In the future, the car is not for me. It is for me to sit. The car is also for me. Once we have hit people, we must investigate who is responsible for the production. The responsibility of this car company is also the responsibility of the owner and it is still legally necessary to study this issue.
