How much is an unmanned vehicle? Bashny.Net

For the full launch of the unmanned vehicle is required to rethink a lot of legal aspects, SDA, insurance conditions, and, of course, to finish the software. However, the technical equipment of machines needed to guide and transport management, is ready for operation. Moreover - iron surprisingly cheap costs.






According to исследованию Boston Consulting Group, the city autopilot will add about $ 5,500 to the price of the car. Self parking, which, by the way, BMW is going to оснастить its seven , will cost only $ 2,000. The cost of a full-fledged robot with the opportunity to travel anywhere, projected over the next 10 years - $ 10,000. Price includes: sensors, processors, and automatic control system.

Let's go in order and try to find a "golden" spare autopilot:



Automatic control systems? B> No. Given the popularity of the box machine and the number of cars with cruise control, now possible to build a complete computer control in any modern foreign car without significant cost.

Data processor with cameras? B> The same suspicion. The more that the price for this item will fall, depending on code optimization. By the way, according to statistics, a modern car has 7 times more lines of code than the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Sensors? B> heat. According to a study on the cost of sensors, radar and ultrasonic sensors varies between $ 15- $ 200. Primarily this is due to the cheapness of the widespread use of these parts in the automotive industry. For example, to create an adaptive cruise control and parking systems.

Lidar? B> Yes, indeed, light detection and ranging - one of the most important systems of the autopilot, and you definitely do not want to be without this thing when racing on the highway at a speed of 200 km / h. In miniature Google-car at the time it was built 64 laser perception of reality. The system cost the company $ 50 000. Accountants considered and advised the Internet giant, with all due respect to its turnover, reduce costs. Now Google plans to fit into $ 8000. Naturally, such a system is expensive for entering the mass market. However, if you reduce the functionality can be found lidar and for $ 100.



exact GPS. B> centimeter precision GPS. You want your car arrived at and parked on the sidewalk and not moved into the trash? Or passed back just enough to not plow grandmother's flower bed. In general, the exact GPS for my grandmother's happiness is worth about $ 6,000. While cheaper technology does not come up.

Who was sitting with a calculator, probably already snorted, saying: "These guys felt bad in Boston!" The good news is that the desktop autopilot can sacrifice the accuracy of some of these systems. Top of the range need rather pro forma and certification. And in order to successfully get home from a party - and you have enough light version.
