In Michigan build "urban hell" for roboavtomobiley
Following Europe, where the joint efforts of several automakers, led by Volvo builds Autodromo AstaZero testing unmanned vehicles in urban environments, городской ground for the US drones create . At six and a half kilometers of roads and intersections thirteen new race track will be played for the heaviest of sensors and onboard computers roboavtomobiley conditions - complex intersection, suddenly appearing pedestrians and cyclists, dense foliage, obscure road signs, tunnels, various types of pavement and permanent repair of roads in the most inconvenient places - hell for the car.
The new circuit is constructed in the city of Ann Arbor, Michigan, near the campus of the University of Michigan. Funding the construction of State Department of Transportation, and 13 companies developing roboavtomobiley. Open circuit plan next spring. University of Michigan - one of the leading centers of the United States to study the future of automotive technology. It is in the city of Ann Arbor, scientists from the University of conducted a large-scale experiment involving 2800 vehicles, equipped with wireless communication system vehicle-to-vehicle ( V2V). Now планируется increase the number of machines involved in the experiment until 9000.
Although roboavtomobili already got the right to ride on public roads in several US states, polygon with simulated urban environment is very important for the final polishing technology of robotic vehicles. In relatively simple terms, for example, on the highway, cruise control is already confident enough to cope with the management. Technology adaptive cruise control, automatic braking before heading hold in the band (lane assist) already put into production cars. In urban environments drive robots also pretty good, but in some cases, the autopilot can not handle. Risking the lives of passengers and other road car manufacturers can not, and therefore, when the onboard computer knows that no further action is sure, it requires the driver to take it over or just stops the car. To exercise these relatively rare situations and need special testing ground.
