Volkswagen teaches self-park their cars
K onechno, byvalye vodily can already begin to laugh at over a teapot - nothing to them to let the handlebars, they should learn to park, and not to use electronic systems. Let scoff. And when Al vtisnutsya masterfully in the narrow gap between the pair facing perpendicular to the road and cars, vytiraya clothes boarded buses, will vykarabkivatsya outwards, then laugh already kettle. They will soon be something very simple and comfortable. And without any secret skill parking, accessible only elected.
Cars Volkswagen Touran, Tiguan and Passat already know how to perform self-focus "parallel parking" - the driver did not have to steep steering wheel, you need only pursue at the pedal. Everything else will make the system Park Assist develop the French company Valeo. And do it very well. Getting in boxing has always been considered task is much simpler than parking along the kerb. But there are ambush: often normally emerge from the machine does not work - too little on the sides remained seats. Facilitate avtomoyschikam life through his brand new white shirt, at the same time uprazhnyayas in yoga? No really, thank you. The experimental system Volkswagen Park Assist Vision, shown in Hanover - for those who are reluctant to do so.
The prototype Passat, equipped with this system, firstly, park completely independently, and secondly, the presence of the driver is not required at all - he may withdraw beforehand. The car has four additional cameras except sonarov conventional ultrasonic front and rear - one in front and rear, and another one in the side mirrors. The signals are processed by computer with a processor with 2 gigahertz frequency, which is already more commanding driving and pedals. It must be free to choose only place where you want to put the car by pressing the touch screen navigatsionki, translate selector DSG box in the position P, quit, smoke (optional) and click on trinkets. More happens all by itself.
The machine zarulit to free place, plugged the engine, close the locks, put themselves at ruchnik. Similarly, then it will be able to travel independently on the road to the first request of the owner. Interestingly, you will not say anything. Remained only achieve stoprotsentnoy guarantee that the car will be able to notice in time protruding piece of asphalt any armaturiny (do not know, like the Germans, and we By this). And yet - make the system more or less accessible. After all, simple and Park Assist, we are under a thousand dollars. But then pass examinations in GAI to accurately Folksvagenah ban.
And not only on them. Automated parking systems are not put to the first year Toyota Prius and Lexus LS (sorry, not on that version for our market). True, they still need a driver sitting inside the vehicle and monitor, not whether naportachit electronics. Recently, and BMW sedan showed 750i, umeyuschy zaezzhat in and out of the garage itself. The future, say? It has come! Maybe, after 10 years full autopilot could not yet appear, but the idea to send in a nearby auto shop for products already there
