Intel, on the way to a secure and autonomous driving – Interia

According to the statistics of the Police Headquarters for more than 80 percent. Poland accidents occur due to the fault of drivers. Fortunately, most of these events does not end with permanent health damage. This is reflected, however, they finance the Poles. In 2013 the cost of all road accidents and collisions amounted to over 49 billion. According to experts from Intel to increase road safety can contribute to the widespread use of smart cars.

The ideal temperature or favorite music, without needing to touch any buttons is not all they have to offer the latest generation cars. Today they are constructed in such a way as to increase safety on the road. – Intelligent cars not only recognize your face and gestures of the owner, but also the psycho-physical state – warn in a situation where the driver is distracted or drowsy. New generation vehicles analyze the data provided by the environment, alert when on the road there is a danger, identify signs and colors of lights – said Julius Kornaszewski from Intel.

Thanks to advanced technology, modern vehicles support the drivers in many activities – from parking by controlling the lane or the distance between vehicles, to the recognition of road signs. Special sensors and powerful processors used in new-generation vehicles allow automatically react to external factors. Convenience is not everything – a huge advantage of intelligent cars is that they significantly increase road safety.

Security above all

One of the reasons by which the number of accidents is so high is that many drivers do not retain safe distance between vehicles – not It is doing this almost 17 per cent. people running cars on the highway. It is worth noting also the demographic aspect. Society is aging – according to forecasts, in 2030 Poland will be up to 8.6 million people over 65 years of age. Seniors are increasingly interested in technologies to facilitate the carrying out of cars and increasing the level of risk on the road.

All drivers, regardless of age, can benefit associated with the use of intelligent vehicles. What exactly makes modern cars are able to support the driver during the trip? A major role played by comprehensive analysis of the environment. Intelligent vehicle is equipped with the Parking Assist, rear collision warning systems, sensors to prevent collisions when leaving the parking, traffic sign recognition system and an advanced emergency braking system.

The intelligent car of the future

According to forecasts from Intel 2020 intelligent vehicles will be equipped with a variety of amenities that will help drive and make it will be much safer. They will be able to independently collect and process data and use the information provided by other vehicles or items of transport infrastructure. The connection will be done in many ways – by satellite GPS, cellular networks, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The intelligent vehicle of the future will be installed special systems: pedestrian detection, collision avoidance, lane control and maintain a safe distance between vehicles. With Surround View technology installed in the car sensors will collect information from each side of the vehicle. How will the data collected? This will allow the five long-range radar, lidar (a device which combines a laser with a telescope, operating on a similar principle as radar but using light instead of microwaves), five cameras, four radars medium and short range and fifteen ultrasonic sensors. Total transfer of data from the sensors will be more than 1 gigabit per second. Intel processors used in smart cars will provide the performance needed to collect, send and analyze large amounts of information.
