Ford, MIT, Stanford developed automatic steering


WASHINGTON - Ford Motor Co. joined with MIT and Stanford to develop automated driving technology research .
Ford will work closely with Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) to meet the " technical challenges " faced by autonomous vehicles , the term for an automated system that takes over some of the functions of driving .

As quoted by Reuters , it was noted Mark Fields , Ford 's chief operating officer , at the opening of the Washington Auto Show in mid-week .

The auto show is the Ford Fusion Hybrid to research showing off automatic driving .
Field argues that the future of the car can communicate with other cars in all corners of the world that improve safety, reduce traffic congestion and benefit the environment .
"It's not a fantasy anymore to make the navigation of autonomous vehicle following parking , " said Field .

Ford Fusion Hybrid on display , said Fields , can operate on its own , but remains under the supervision of the driver .
The technology for these vehicles is similar to the system in bats or dolphins which uses sound waves .
The vehicle can be aware of moving objects such as pedestrians , cars , and animals .

Ford said MIT will focus on researching ways to predict the movement of other vehicles and pedestrians .
This technology will allow the vehicle to plan a safe path to avoid other vehicles and pedestrians .
Stanford will examine how to maneuver a vehicle that allows the sensor can " break through " the barrier that exists around .
The study aims to create a vehicle that is able to think like humans, so driving will be safer .

Ford did not disclose how much money it is prepared for the study .
Ford estimates that vehicles can drive automatically could be realized by 2025.

AMT, Transmission and Clutch Operated Automatically


Hamamatsu - Suzuki India ( Maruti - Suzuki ) have their own way to develop an automatic transmission is less popular in the country . To facilitate the work of the driver's shifting gears without having to operate the clutch and the transmission rod , is developing a manual transmission that automatically operated and called " Automated Manual Transmission " ( AMT ) or " Auto Gear Shift " ( AGS ) .

So , basically the same as with a manual transmission that has been used so far , consists of gears that remain in pairs and comes with a friction clutch . Strictly speaking , not using a torque converter or planetary gears and pulleys with belt in the CVT .

Actually , the way the operation is similar to a dual clutch transmission ( double clutch ) that is widely used by European car manufacturers at this time ( Honda also use it on a motorcycle ) that is operated automatically through a device or system that works in electro - hydraulically controlled by electronics . So similar to the working robot !

According to Suzuki Motor Corporation , the electro - hydraulic actuator works to operate the clutch and shift gears automatically. This section is mounted directly on the transmission of a conventional 5-speed manual .

Suzuki claims , gearshift on the AMT went smoothly because of operational synchronization clutch , shift gears and rev the engine is regulated by a computer .

Because the base of conventional manual transmission , fuel consumption is still economical to use . Interestingly enough, to get the effect of " creep " or creeping like a conventional automatic transmission , Suzuki also made ​​in this transmission . In this way , it helps the driver when parked or stuck in severe traffic jam ! Added , this transmission can also be operated manually !

The diameter of the laser diode element is very small . For comparison - according to experts BMW - a cell surface area of the LED lights square military . While the laser light is only a few microns or one-hundredth of a cell LED lights . Aspect is exactly the main attraction experts utilize lasers as the main car wars . With the smaller size , the designer can make the car more aerodynamic face .

Another advantage , the density of the light produced is higher . If the LED light produces 100 lumens for each watt , lasers can reach 170 lumens . The length sorotannya reach 500 meters or 5 times the length of a football field .

To produce white light color unsightly eye ( no glare ) , the resulting beam laser diode , first converted by a phosphor fluorescent lamp in the main . This must be done because the original color of the laser light bluish .

Audi has also been announced , will utilize laser technology as car headlights racing Le Mans , R18 e - tron Quattro launched in April.

Especially for a car that is on display at CES , laser headlights are combined with LED . Therefore, each side there are two layers of light trapezoid-shaped . According to Audi , the LED light for close range ( low beam ) , while the laser for long distance ( high beam ) . Here is the video.

Yamaha Patented Name "YZF-R3" and "R3"

Milan - Yamaha patented the name " YZF - R3 " and " R3 " for the product in the European Union . Filing patent name was already done last January 6 , and is still in the stage of checking . If it is passed , this will be the name used for products that allegedly will be launched in the near future .

No detail data in a patent filing that name . Just described , R3 and R3 YZF name will be used for motorcycles , scooters , three- wheeled scooter , or devices ( tools ) . Of course , these data are quite deceptive , as is done in the name of patent registration for the MT - 09 . When it is mentioned , the name of the MT - 09 to be used for the identity of land vehicles , water vehicles , motorcycles , scooters and the like .

indication
Now we try one by one surgeon . If the name is said YZF R3 and R3 will be used for the scooter , it was not possible . Because the existing scooter called Tricity , and code " YZF " usually refers to sport bikes , for example, YZF -R1 , YZF - R6 and others . To use the name of a three wheel scooter , is clearly impossible .

The first major indication , YZF - R3 will be used for the generation of sport bike cc air- small . The emergence of the YZF - R25 prorotipe for motorcycles 250cc , 2 -cylinder , may be accompanied by a 300 cc engine with the name of the YZF - R3 . Just as Kawasaki and Honda 250cc variants are also given an alternative 300cc for specific regional markets .

Another theory , " 3 " can mean three- cylinder engine . Already it will lay FZ - 09 , motorcycle " naked " three -cylinder engine is the basis of this theory . Could be , Yamaha FZ - friend wants to give birth to 09 with fairing version which was later called the YZF - R3 .

Usually the figures used to symbolizes a cylinder capacity , not the number of cylinders . So , whether YZF - R3 will be closer to the sport bike 300cc air- fairing ? Puzzles are worth keeping and awaited the answer !
