According to Uncle Che, this technology is designed for the next generation of autonomous driving, and the prospect will be very broad, and even the vehicle can eventually change from the left rudder to the right rudder. However, at present, the role of this patent is limited to expanding the space for the main drive. For example, in traffic jams, drivers can slide the steering wheel to the middle and put their legs on the center console to lie down and relax.
However, Volvo already has an idea about the conversion technology between the main driver and the co-driver. It is reported that Volvo intends to install accelerator and brake pedal in both the main driver and the co-pilot. Only when the steering wheel is in the corresponding position, the accelerator and brake pedal will be activated, effectively solving the problem of passengers stepping on the opposite side by mistake.
Does this technology sound good? However, Uncle Che thinks that the application of these technologies is unlikely. Che Shu believes that the main problem of this technology is the safety of drunk driving. If this technology is applied, when the traffic police check the drunk driving, the driver and the co-pilot can avoid the inspection perfectly without changing their positions. This is obviously illegal. what do you think?
