This is a way by which they have to pass all car manufacturers and this is one way in which already are betting: the cars that drive themselves. Volvo’s plans are to have a fleet of a hundred vehicles on Gutenburgo streets in Sweden. But not always the cars will be autonomous.
Whenever they enter and leave the motorway, should be the driver to take the wheel. Just as when weather conditions are not favorable. It also included an emergency system that turns off the automatic system of all cars and requiring drivers.
This means that unlike other companies – such as Google or Pathfinder car for example, or steering wheel or rear-view mirrors have – Volvo continues to have the driver in mind, not completely dispensed of their duties. The idea is that the car facilitates in some tasks of everyday life.
The Drive Me program, as it is known, uses several technologies to make vehicles in supercomputers. According to CNet, a radar, sonar and lasers identifying all the elements that are in range of the vehicle, including traffic signs.
This control is done at 360 degrees and it allows you to build a 3D map, and there is a cross-checks with central transit systems and also control the GPS positioning.
Confirmed is also that there are more cities from different countries who are interested in hosting the Volvo for the company to conduct further testing its autonomous vehicles. The ultimate goal of the company is that from 2020, there are more deaths at the wheel of their vehicles.
In addition to autonomous cars, the automaker revealed a few months ago a bet on virtual reality to market their vehicles more immersive way – putting the driver in a car, but only with the help of a smartphone and a cardboard glasses.
