Car walking alone in Germany's bid to reduce accidents
Meet the autonomous car that is already qualified to walk the streets of the capital Berlin.
Andrew Curvello Berlin, Germany
Urban mobility is at the center of discussions in the country and Bom
Dia Brazil went to Berlin to show how the Germans invest in public
transport and technological solutions. One of the solutions is a car
that runs without a driver.
Over the bridge, pass the subway. And the boat sails well below. Seeing so say if you do not like a toy town? In the central part of Berlin, cranes out of sight. It is the work of another subway line, already considered one of the best and biggest in the world.
Investments that make public transport the preferred German. It is common to find young people like Stephan, who has no car and says he does not intend to have.
If the choice is by personal transport, the car can also be collective. The driver takes the vehicle available on the street and, after use, park somewhere so that another driver can embark. Can notice that the skill of the Germans is to invent.
At the Free University of Berlin, researchers developed the autonomous car, driving alone. Tinosch Ganjinesh, one of those responsible for the project, explains how it all works. Laser scanners measure distances, combined with sensors measuring the speed of the other cars. Cameras observe the situation ahead as pedestrians and traffic signals.
The information arriving at the trunk, where they are processed and combined in a central computer that sends commands to the engine speed. It's so the car can move alone.
We'll see if the car without driver works in practice. When the autonomous car takes control, all are passengers. External information arrives in real time to the computer. And that's how the car sees the world.
Look without the driver touching the steering wheel generates some concern, but also a very interesting feeling. Of course it has some security, because this car is certified to run through the streets of Berlin.
The car follows the path of straight and smoothly closed curves. If the car in front, he also, without intervention.
German researchers believe that within 10 years, models like this is already available to run on the roads, and up to 15 years in major cities.
Because the future is so close, the work is the next technology. One is to drive the car with the power of thought. Sensors on the driver's head interpret the commands from the brain and the car runs.
And since he does everything all by myself, the car can pick up passengers at the location marked. The order is given a touch on the phone or tablet. The computer, anywhere else, receives the command and go to the location set by GPS. This revolution is still in the testing phase.
Back in the present, the autonomous car still needs tweaking to the reality of transit. And at times, the driver resumes the direction to ensure safety.
But, according to the researchers, in a few years will be on the streets and a lot cheaper than this version of the survey. The electric model is ready. Simpler and more economical.
'We just have sensors that are really needed. It is much more realistic for the cars that we drive on the cities of the future in a short time ', provides Tinosch.
And so, this becomes increasingly expensive with that future.
