Twenty years later, when you want to get to a destination, as long as you get on the bus, the car will take you all over the world. This scene like a science fiction movie, with the commercialization of the unmanned car, will be in reality. Find traces of it in life. In order to reduce the incidence of traffic accidents caused by human factors, unmanned vehicles change the role of past driving to automatic monitoring, so that the car body can make the best judgment with the surrounding environment changes. What is the mystery of the unmanned car, let us look at it together.
Definition of unmanned vehicles
A driverless car, also known as an autonomous vehicle, is a combination of technologies that replaces the driver's role with autonomous driving and can navigate the passengers to their destination without human instructions. Subverting the practice of having a driver in the past, will there be a breakthrough in the appearance of future unmanned vehicles? The unmanned car model "Shiwa", which was unveiled at the Geneva InternaTIonal Motor Show a few days ago, is based on Japanese origami technology and has changed the perception of the car body.
Since the 1920s, the pilot journey of autonomous vehicles has really taken a turn from the 1950s to the present day. The first vehicle, which can be called autonomous driving, appeared in the 1980s, the plans for Carnegie Mellon University's Navlab and ALV in 1984, and the plans for the Mercedes-Benz and Bundeswehr University Munich's Eureka Prometheus Project in 1987. Since then, a large number of companies and research units, including Benz, General Motors, ConTInental AutomoTIve Systems, Autoliv Inc, Bosch, Nissan, Toyota, Audi, Volvo, Vislab from University of Parma, Oxford University and Google, have been working on prototypes. In 2015, Google actually let unmanned vehicles run on the road for evaluation.
The crisis in the automotive industry is also a turning point
According to the global survey of PWC, the current global market of the automotive industry is unevenly distributed, such as sales in several indicator markets such as North America, Europe, India, China, South America, and Russia. For the automotive industry, the industry is being promoted by three forces to change:
First, the customer's demand changes: customers want the lower the price of the car, the better, and differentiated, but also hope that the car factory can provide other services.
Second, the law on safety and energy requirements: In recent years, the fraud cases of car manufacturers have had a negative impact on the ecology. In the future, the government will adopt stricter regulations to avoid similar incidents.
Third, information and data can be obtained: the advent of the era of big data, how the car factory will make good use of this information for the next stage of the development of unmanned vehicles.
The consolidation of the three forces will have the following effects on the automotive industry: the increase in electronic and software content, the different product mix in response to regulatory requirements, the next stage of platform modularization and the adjustment of the retail industry. Whether the unmanned car has a positive or negative impact on the sales volume of the car manufacturer, I am afraid it will take time to verify. The following is a brief introduction to the development of unmanned vehicles in major factories:

As a German company with a century-old enterprise, the goal is to enhance the artificial intelligence car brain plan for self-driving cars by increasing the number of software developers; Nissan is expected to launch a commercial car that can automatically drive on the highway in August 2016. Further achieving the goal of commercializing self-driving vehicles; Swedish manufacturer Volvo recently announced its goal of launching the first electric car in 2019 and reaching a threshold of 1 million units in 2025. In addition, 100 autopilots will be arranged on the road in mainland China; in China, there will be a joint venture between Alibaba and Baidu, and a harmonious Futeng composed of Tencent, Hon Hai and China. Harmony Futeng regards the development of autonomous vehicles as its main strategy, and actively digging corners from major companies, such as Google's parent company Alphabet, Tesla and other big companies. Audi has conducted actual measurements in early 2015 and is currently targeting the Asian market. In 2013, Audi R&D Center Asia was established in Beijing.
Technology giants rush to attack traditional car factory cakes
Technology giants such as Google, Apple, and Facebook have invested in the development of unmanned vehicle technology. Compared with traditional car manufacturers, why do technology giants actively seize the market of unmanned vehicles? In addition to the prospect of unmanned vehicles, the technology giant itself has the following advantages:
First, the sophisticated software technology: the sensor is an important key to the development of unmanned vehicles. The technology that senses the relationship between the car body and the outside world is the bottleneck encountered when the traditional car factory develops the unmanned car. The technology factory itself has this. Technology, faster than traditional car manufacturers can respond to market demand.
Second, a powerful map support system: Unmanned use of the computer system to determine the starting point and destination, Google's map allows the car to avoid the road and improve the quality of driving.
Third, a wide range of scientific research: the diversity of research fields, helping cross-sex communication.
Fourth, the company has a strong R & D team: the research and development team of the technology giant, has gathered experts from all over the world.

Google's Google Driveless car is a fully automated driving mode that uses cameras, radar sensors and laser rangefinders to sense the environment around the body. In 2012, the California governor signed and agreed to let Google's unmanned vehicles run in California, which has now traveled 480,000. However, the accident that Google’s unmanned vehicles collided with the bus in February 2016 also made the public question its security. Apple has actively established relevant departments and is working hard to build an electric car code-named TItan, moving toward the goal of unmanned vehicles and launching a cornering action.
In addition to specializing in hard work, Intel also strives to lay out a soft face. "Unmanned Vehicles" and the "Internet of Things" technology can create the effect of "Internet of Vehicles". The power of the Internet of Vehicles continues to ferment. The Internet of Vehicles is a technology that integrates people, vehicles, roads and the environment. With the electronic tags attached to the car, it can achieve traffic accident management, electronic toll collection, remote monitoring, navigation route planning, vehicle anti-theft and other functions. Optimistic about the trend of the Internet of Vehicles, Intel acquired Yogitech to assist Intel in the layout of the Internet of Vehicles.
The Internet of Vehicles is the best application for "mobile mobile IoT technology", and the ultimate goal is to supervise all vehicles. The whole system combines "end", "tube" and "cloud", and uses the smart sensors provided on the car body to ensure the interaction between cars and cars, people and cars, cars and roads, cars and nets, and Pass the data back to the cloud platform to achieve the control effect. The Internet of Vehicles is widely used, including security protection before or after an accident, or irregularly returning information to the platform for accident management, or even vehicle scheduling, ETC, and multi-entertainment applications.
The government has established an unmanned vehicle specification

In response to the trend of unmanned vehicles, countries have formulated response policies. In the United States, for example, in the final year of his term of office, Obama is expected to allocate 4 billion from the 2017 budget and invest $4 billion in the next 10 years to promote the autopilot development program, trying to "build a 21st century transportation system."
