The introduction of driverless cars
Driverless car is a kind of intelligent car, also known as wheeled mobile robot, which mainly relies on the intelligent driver with computer system in the car to achieve the purpose of unmanned driving.
According to Thomson Reuters's latest report on intellectual property and technology, from 20 10 to 20 15, there were more than 22,000 invention patents related to automobile driverless technology, and in the process, some enterprises represented by canoe zhihang and Baidu have emerged in this field and become industry leaders.
Driverless car is a smart car that senses the road environment, automatically plans the driving route and controls the vehicle to reach the predetermined target through the on-board sensing system.
It uses on-board sensors to sense the environment around the vehicle, and controls the steering and speed of the vehicle according to the sensed information of the road, vehicle position and obstacles, so that the vehicle can run safely and reliably on the road.
It combines automatic control, architecture, artificial intelligence, visual computing and other technologies. It is the product of highly developed computer science, pattern recognition and intelligent control technology, and it is also an important symbol to measure a country's scientific research strength and industrial level. It has broad application prospects in the fields of national defense and national economy.
