King James drives without holding the steering wheel, I admire it!
This is a "magical" car.
In recent years, the discussion about "self-driving cars" has been very hot. Since self-driving cars have not yet fully entered our daily lives, many ordinary people are still afraid of self-driving cars.
Are self-driving cars safe and reliable?
Can self-driving cars navigate busy streets?
Can the sensor recognize extreme situations?
Can the system be hacked?
The above short video of King James trying out a self-driving car cleverly dispels our doubts about self-driving cars, while promoting the concept of the safety and convenience of self-driving cars to the world.
James was skeptical about the safety of self-driving cars at first, but when he was told that the vehicle's "vision and reaction capabilities are 80 times better than yours," he got in the car with trepidation.
After being amazed by the autonomous driving function...James excitedly announced:
This car is mine!
Every year, human error causes up to 1 million deaths in car accidents. Self-driving cars have many advantages in terms of safety. For example, they will not feel tired even after long-term driving; they will not be distracted by making phone calls while driving; they will not have road rage... Self-driving cars will have a 360° field of view, can accurately identify nearby people and objects, and detect speed and distance. Studies have shown that self-driving cars are three orders of magnitude safer than human-driven cars, and their design can reduce the mortality rate by 99.9%.
As self-driving cars gradually enter people's daily lives, issues such as the safety of self-driving cars and how to determine responsibility in the event of a traffic accident have gradually attracted everyone's attention. With more and more car companies and technology companies researching and developing self-driving technology, how to establish unified and standardized guidelines based on different levels of self-driving technology has become a difficult problem.
Mobileye, a subsidiary of Intel, is a leader in the field of automation technology and the world's largest supplier of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) cameras. It has extensive experience and technology in the field of automotive automation. Not long ago, Professor Amnon Shashua, CEO of Mobileye and senior vice president of Intel, and his colleagues developed a mathematical formula - the RSS model , to verify that self-driving cars can drive in a responsible manner and identify the responsible party and the party at fault in accidents when there is no human driver.
The RSS model is the "Responsibility-Sensitive Safety Model". It provides specific and measurable parameters for the concept of human responsibility. At the same time, it defines a measurable "safe state" for autonomous vehicles by analyzing and statistically analyzing the behaviors and environments involved in almost all recorded accidents by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
In the "safe state", no matter how other vehicles react, the autonomous vehicle cannot cause an accident. This model ensures that the autonomous vehicle only operates and drives within a framework defined as "safe".
simply put
It is to calculate the safe stopping distance of the self-driving car relative to the vehicle in front through data analysis, and ensure that under this digital model, the self-driving car will pass the parked car or avoid pedestrians who suddenly rush onto the road at a safe speed slow enough .
In this case, if a human-driven car suddenly cuts in front of an autonomous car and causes an accident, even if the autonomous car rear-ends the human-driven car, this set of standards based on mathematical formulas can clearly identify the party responsible for the accident and will not make a wrong judgment.
The introduction of the Responsibility-Sensitive Safety Model has made a good start for autonomous driving evaluation in a universal and open way, and also provided a good framework for the decision-making process within the autonomous driving control system. This magical mathematical formula will also accelerate the innovative development of autonomous driving and help autonomous driving enter our real life as soon as possible. I hope that we can also own an autonomous driving car as soon as possible like James!
