Experience alone is not enough, these new technologies can help novices become “old driver”

before that car is just a small add-ons life partners, in the preceding days will probably be glad that they have a car, thus avoiding the need to take the vehicle “trouble.” Driving as a skill that requires long period of training and learning, will progress and become more mature. The novice and female drivers, older drivers rely on their own practice become quite long this time. According to Ministry of Public Security statistics, in 2019 the national new driver 2637 million, an increase of 6.45 percentage; female drivers has risen 1.34 percentage, reaching 137 million people.

so many novice, can not all the time old driver sidelines counseling; learning is endless and older drivers are rare, and therefore is always difficult to avoid driving alone time.

alone drive alone to gain experience to enhance the value, growth speed is limited at the same time there are certain risks. After all, in order to obtain experience after not all need to run into a wall before. Furthermore, after the monetary cost of the wall, time costs for car owners, are spending a small fortune. Therefore, the security configuration to become one of the driver avoid accidents, but also the lowest-cost way. Today I want to introduce these new technologies, we can say to help novices become “old driver”, take a look.

In Japan, the cause of many traffic accidents is driver (especially the oldest driver ) accelerator erroneous operation occurs.

According to Japan’s National Police Agency statistics, in the first half of 2019, 149 traffic accidents involving elderly driver the driver of the “steering wheel, brake operation confusion” accounted for the percentage of 34, wherein the step number error accelerator / brake 17 is on, and the resultingThe percentage share of the overall mortality rate of accidents 11. Thus, the erroneous operation of the pedal is quite common in Japan among motorists, especially among the elderly driver.

These incidents data is Toyota in the development of security features when the foundation, inhibit the function of the throttle (accelerator suppression function) will be born. Throttle principle of suppression, is the combination of sensors and a camera body, the current detected by the vehicle from the obstacle too close when the driver depresses the accelerator at this time will be determined that the driver ECU are “bad step” accelerator, then not accelerate the implementation of the command.

sunlight sometimes is not friendly to the driver, especially at sunset drive to the west when traveling, even more difficult to accept. Traditional physical visor, blocking sunlight for intrusive eye of the driver plays a certain role.

(conventional sun visor block line of sight)

[ 123] At the same time, the opaque nature of the visor also allows the driver to lose sight of the front part. For some small front windshield area models, open the visor is equivalent to give up the front of the field of vision, seriously affect the safety of driving time. According to Bosch, official data showed visor caused the accident rates of other weather-related traffic accidents number 2 times.

Virtual visor is a transparent LCD screen , AI having a face detection function and a tracking and analysis software for the camera driver. The system is transparent and the camera LCD, completely replace the conventional sun visor. The technology can intuitivelyBlock the glare of the sun, without blocking the vision of the road ahead.

In city driving, for novices, it should be the most intense sections. Motor vehicle road makes sharp increase in the number of road space suddenly shrink a lot, and secondly there are many non-motor vehicles for various reasons, come on motorized vehicles, as well as many sake of convenience entered the lane directly across the road, pedestrians . While the latter is in the driver’s mouth the most hard to prevent “ghost probe.”

sudden when the ghost probe appeared for many drivers unexpected, and accompanied by the short distance, it is difficult to avoid features. Usually experienced older drivers, will be taught by the couple when the vehicle next to deliberately leave some a little far from the body, mainly to allow pedestrians rushed out of space to stay, rather than into direct collision with the vehicle. Some older drivers will teach motorists pay attention to the bottom of the chassis of the vehicle through the high side of the vehicle, whether there is a bicycle wheel or shoes, to determine whether the vehicle next to a pedestrian.

by the United States Stanford University, Princeton University and other colleges and Construction R & D team, the ordinary camera with laser light through a new joint algorithm to achieve the effect of “non-imaging sight,” the. Simply put, we can achieve obstacle behind the wall to observe the situation.

Non-sight of the imaging system can be found in a short time an obstacle and take a braking operation, which principle is to use laser light diffuse reflection. Laser projection to the wall will be reflected back wall is hidden on the target position, the impact of scatter, are incorporated in and form a spot pattern camera.

pure electric car worldwideConsumers beginning to get the recognition and attention, on the one hand is the vehicle itself can finally get rid of the topic exhaust emissions, in addition the travel process to reduce energy consumption also allows owners to use cost reductions. And in ride quality and dynamic feel, pure electric vehicles demonstrated the advantages of the current fuel vehicle technology is difficult to get level. However, regardless of the battery capacity is bigger, the mileage may still be limited, in order to allow the vehicle to run a number as possible, the engineers started to introduce technology to reduce wind resistance, such as electronic rearview mirror.

using the camera in real time captured state of the rear side, to motorists traveling time as a reference, the technology in the past rarely mentioned. Compact size and ease of layout, so that the electronic mirror area decreases windward; latest hot pure electric vehicles Honda e, the electron mirror can reduce the air resistance of the mirror portion 90 percentage vehicle the air resistance can dropping 3.8 percentage. Today there are different types of cameras, a wide-angle, fish eyes, black and white and color, the sensitivity and the resolution by distinguished.

to the camera instead of the conventional flat mirror will undoubtedly greatly increase user feeling, the camera field of view is more broad than the plane mirror, can be seen more rearward road, blind spots will be added as an electronic mirror 10 to reduce the percentage of wide-angle camera 50 may be reduced if the percentage of blind spot more. Further, during bad light conditions (light or dark sky behind the lack of the high-beam control), the camera always able to maintain proper highlights, so that the driver will not difficult to judge.

technology to avoid traffic accidents, compared to its effect on past experience alone driver learning exercise obtained, at the same time to be more faster and less costly. But on the other hand, the cost of obtaining this technology now, the system is not low, and even cause buyers to opt out of. And money compared to driving safety are the drivers and owners shouldFocus; after the increase in the number of consumers attach importance to security configuration, will in turn use the invisible hand of the market affect car prices emphasis on safety aspects of its models.
