Sedric: VW showed an unmanned electric vehicle of the fifth level of autonomy Bashny.Net

At the motor show in Geneva Volkswagen presented a fully self-driving electric car. The concept car must once again demonstrate the commitment of the group to be at the forefront of introducing new technologies after the scandal with the substitution of results of tests of emissions of diesel engines.

The largest automaker in Europe, has pledged to invest in electric cars and the technology driving billions of euros. By 2025, Volkswagen plans to produce more than 30 electric models.

 



On the eve of the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the company in Geneva, the head of Volkswagen Matthias Mueller presented a concept car called Sedric (Self-Driving Car), which has the so-called fifth (highest) level of autonomy.

Prototype Serdic got a body resembling a minivan, the futuristic design and large glass area. Its wheels positioned at the corners of the cab to increase the internal volume. Sliding doors give access to the spacious lounge, which is equipped with a mini-garden with plants. The robotic car will be able to carry 4 people and will be issued as a modification for public transport and individual clients.

Seat electric car deployed to each other, to allow users to communicate freely on the road. As a true drone of the interior is missing the steering wheel and other controls. Instead, passengers are encouraged to give the vehicle voice commands.

Windshield Autonomous electric vehicle acts as a large OLED display and is part of the media and provides technical information on the systems of the machine. All led by an AI that can anticipate the preferences of the passengers, prompting them the best route and customizing the climate according to their preferences.





The machine will be the forerunner of unmanned vehicles that will be developed by the company in the coming years. Mueller did not give detailed explanations about serial prospects of the concept, limiting references to amounts in billions of euros and the desire to hire for the development of new electric cars best engineers.

One of the pioneers in creating driverless cars is Google. The Internet giant has created its own drone in 2015. Gradually, the race joined other high-tech companies from Uber to Apple, and also the largest manufacturers. They are working on different technologies that use cameras, radars and lidars. Although progress has been made, before the advent of fully Autonomous cars on the market can take years.





Manufacturers like Toyota or Ford has repeatedly stated that mass production of driverless electric cars fifth generation in the coming years is impossible. Disagree with them the head "Tesla" Elon Musk. He claims that 100% Autonomous electric car will be released within 6 months. published
