·The world's first large-scale automatic driving project runs smoothly

Volvo Cars is the world's first large-scale automatic driving public road test project “Drive Me”, which is now being developed for global media in Gothenburg, Sweden. The project was approved and supported by the Swedish government. With the in-depth cooperation with the local government, traffic control departments and scientific research institutions, the “Automatic Driving Technology” demonstrated by the “Drive Me” project is more practical and practical. The pace has taken another step forward.

Since the birth of the car for hundreds of years, no matter how advanced its technology, the driver has always been "bound" on the steering wheel. As an autopilot that can liberate your hands and is most likely to subvert driving behavior, it is not simply a high-tech technology. Because it touches on infrastructure, policies, regulations, etc., it attaches more social engineering attributes to it. The application can never be done by the manufacturer. The “Drive Me” project announced at the end of 2013 not only has the largest scale, but also includes all the factors in the actual traffic environment for the first time. It is the most involved and most in-depth project in the automatic driving test. The project will select ordinary citizens in 2017 to participate in the unclosed autopilot test on public roads in and around Gothenburg, Sweden, to explore the possibility of self-driving into ordinary life.

H kan Samuelsson, President and CEO of Volvo Car Group, said: "Autonomous driving is the only way to realize the Volvo Car Group's vision of zero casualties in traffic accidents. Volvo Cars are unique worldwide. Intelligent safety technology has laid a solid foundation for the development of autonomous driving technology. First-hand data and analysis of real driving scenarios and a large number of traffic accidents, as well as insights into driver behavior, also make Volvo more innovative in autonomous driving. Comprehensive advantages."

Autopilot for a smarter future

Statistics show that 90% of traffic accidents are caused by “man-made”, and automatic driving is expected to eliminate this situation from the source. At the same time, in the aspects of optimizing traffic flow, reducing emissions, changing existing driving behaviors, and assisting vulnerable groups to travel (disabled people and the elderly), autonomous driving will have an inestimable positive impact.

In the ongoing “Drive Me” project experience, Volvo Cars offers advanced and intelligent solutions for situations where traffic jams, fatigue, etc. are the most headaches for drivers.

The world's first ACC adaptive cruise control with assisted steering allows the test vehicle to automatically follow the car, automatically shift and merge into the traffic. For the office workers who have experienced a lot of heavy work but have to endure the traffic jam, it is undoubtedly good news.

In the big cities, finding parking spaces has caused many car owners to suffer, and there have been many embarrassing situations of stopping the car but not going to the car. The fully automatic parking technology demonstrated by “Drive Me” makes this a thing of the past. Volvo Car's fully automatic parking is the world's first autonomous driving technology that is networked with the infrastructure. Drivers can get off at the entrance to the parking lot, connect the vehicle to the parking lot, and find the parking space to complete the parking.

Driver fatigue or distraction accounts for a considerable proportion of traffic accidents. Now, the "driver state sensing system" will become a trusted "co-pilot." The system monitors the driver's condition with highly sensitive sensors, not only to alert drivers who are not focused on driving, but to take over driving tasks when necessary.

Explore the possibility of commercialization on the road

Automated driving puts higher requirements on vehicle positioning. Existing positioning technologies such as GPS and visual imaging technology are not able to be affected by factors such as positioning accuracy and bad weather. Volvo's magnetic field research has found a possibility to achieve precise positioning. With the magnetic field sensing between the vehicle and the road, precise positioning of the vehicle error of less than 1 decimeter can be achieved, and the weather factor can be ignored. This low-cost infrastructure remodeling scheme is crucial for achieving full autopilot.

What Drive Me shows is only part of a high degree of autopilot, but I know it. The car can identify the driver and instantly call out its usual travel locations. After confirming the response, quickly plan the best route and go on their own; between the cars, and with infrastructure such as signal lights, parking lots, shopping malls, etc.; The cloud server plans the traffic flow, and there are no more congestions and collisions. Such a scene may be far away, but the automatic driving has already been on the right track. Soon, Volvo's new XC90 with some highly automated driving technology will "bring the future to the eye".

A report released by the American market research firm Lux Research shows that although autonomous vehicles start in Europe and America, China's development will come later. It is estimated that about 120 million self-driving cars will be sold worldwide in 2030, with China accounting for 35%. At present, the industrial ecosystem covering automotive manufacturing, vehicle networking and big data applications and services has taken shape. Automobile and component manufacturers, IT hardware manufacturers, systems, software and application development service providers, telecom operators, and even a large number of high-tech companies. Actively invest in R&D and innovation with the ultimate goal of autonomous driving. With the launch of the groundbreaking "Drive Me" project and the launch of the new XC90, the first highly automated production car, Volvo Cars has been at the forefront of the commercialization of autonomous driving.
