Detroit - One of the weaknesses of otonomos car system is the reliance on a digital map as a navigation tool. Jim Keller, Chief Engineer of Honda R & D Americas, Inc., said the cars could work without the driver requires a data map that is always updated so that the system can run safely.
After Google began testing their otonomos car, a fundamental question arises, what if changing conditions on the road and the car otonomos still using the old map. The system can make a decision because one can not detect the location of which has not been recorded.
Keller expressed the view, in the future otonomos car does not work individually but simultaneously. On the road, every car will provide information that can be accessed another car. This condition is similar to the concept of interactive navigation Waze application that allows users to mark other users of the obstacles that will be faced in the future, such as congestion, road closures, accidents, and others.
Keller explains, the system creates a need to embrace many parties, namely manufacturers, map makers, technology companies, government, and many other industry sources.
crucial
"Mapping will be very crucial in the future. Almost like a symbiotic relationship between the automotive company with what we need and ask of the map, "said Keller in the event Intelligent Transport Systems World Congress, Detroit, USA, as reported by Automotive News, last week.
Finally, Keller said, any company that wants to jump into this cutting-edge technology such as mandatory could produce otonomos car that could study the situation when walking. With so any decision can be taken safely. Even so he admits there are still many questions that need answers.
