Japan in 2016 will give robotaxi green light Bashny.Net

Japan is no novice in robotics, so the announcement that the country is going in 2016 to run "full" robotaxi, a special surprise has not caused.



The service will be deployed for a group of approximately 50 residents for service delivery these people to nearby grocery stores and places where you do not reach public transport, which should improve living conditions for the limited mobility of elderly residents. Cars will have to pass for one ride of about three miles, and also ride on normal roads managed by people with cars.

To ensure the safety of the experiment in the front seat during the travel is to attend a "driver" that will ensure the smoothness of the process. They will not intervene in the process, except for the moments when the robot driver will happen to "bad day". If all goes well, the ultimate goal is the implementation of robotics as a valuable public service, and convenient amenities for tourists by 2020 — the year of the Olympic games in Tokyo.

In the race to create Autonomous vehicles are also involved such companies as Google and many major industry players automotive industry, trying to seize the leadership position in the industry, which is estimated by 2025 will be estimated 1.36 trillion. published
