part your story. always and the culture. you want to. sit in. migrants your platform for reliable information. what happens if you watch a movie on a v r headset while speeding down the highway nothing bad if you leave the driving to artificial intelligence but are we ready to do that is it really safe autonomous driving our topic on today's jim. whenever i look at the car industry's prototypes i always get the us should jump right into this brave new world of innovation the latest developments were unveiled

at the recent consumer electronics show or c as in las vegas my personal favorite is a wii are headset that lets you play games in the car audi and disney are collaborating on marvel heroes when the cast speeds up the spaceship and the game does too. the virtual content takes cues from the cars movements for now it's only meant for passengers but in a tunnel mosca evan gamers could try it in the driving seat what else did the c.s. have to offer. this is how many cities in visions of the future all autonomous tried in the past and just sit together with nobody at the wheel different models could be used to carry cargo for instance. nissan has unveiled technology driving cars that can see around corners. it uses a b r headset sensor data cameras and the nissan plowed. the system

come point out free parking spots and even interesting sites along with. german automotive suppliers that every sent to the robot taxi and yes the passenger can order a captain at set off without the chauffeur and pick up more passengers on route. here's the latest feature is facial recognition yet the spirit side is adjusted to suit the passengers mood competition intelligence reads emotions from their expressions. it's only a step away from adapting the driving style to suit their mood as well. it's going to take a little while before this technology becomes widely available we're still a long way from the self driving cars that lets us simply lays around on the back seat so far only prototypes have been built. but do you want to sound like you're

on top of developments here's a quick review of autonomy's driving in sixty. levels zero no automation the driver does everything him or herself level one driver assistance systems like cruise control anti-lock brakes and a lane keeping assistant help the driver. level to partial automation the car corrects for lane drifting and keeps a safe distance from other cars using brake assists or collision warnings level three conditional automation the driver can let go of the steering wheel for a time and doesn't have to monitor the systems constantly but in certain situations he or she has to take control if the onboard computer requires it level for high automation the vehicle operates all systems automatically but the driver can take over if desired. level five full automation the car only needs to be started and have the destination entered human control of the steering and acceleration are

no longer needed. by the way cars from level one and two are already available they help drivers keep within their lanes or hit the brakes if necessary autonomous driving isn't available everywhere it needs fast reliable data networks comic as we lie on systems like the new five g. selden a mobile standard or dependable by five this is because the sensors in autonomy as cars have to process huge quantities of data up to nine hundred terabytes an hour that translates into nineteen thousand gigabytes my phone's flat rate wouldn't get me wrong the next. so fos have driving cars are mostly restricted to test tricks but in chandler arizona things are different. in chandler arizona usa future of driving has become reality. a selected number of the town's

residents can use self driving taxis to get around town or city driver only intervenes in emergencies and it's hoffman remembers his first taxi ride get in sit down and watch the steering wheel turn on its own and and you know it's a big grin on my face the entire time look at the safety dry realize there are not driving the car the cars driving and that's just the coolest thing in the world and a big goofy grin my first all right way malone has now signed up a few hundred customers for the experiment the taxis booked by just this week liberal. and the fares are similar. but not everyone is happy with the idea of self driving cars on track in the streets many people are and they are totally against self driving vehicles because what's going to end up happening is you're going to have a lot of individuals who are going to know how to physically drive the vehicle right now knowing how to operate the cars the job of the same driver but in future

the car will be taking on all the functions itself ed it will take a few years before cars hit the road without to drive us not only technology needs further development but also the laws need to be changed many legal issues are still open who is liable if a parking assistance system causes a fender bender the vehicle's make-a all is owner and whose fault is it if a self driving cars injure somebody is the drive always liable or can a machine take the blame. in many countries the driver is responsible this ruling is based on the vienna convention on roads traffic signed by over seventy countries it allows the transfer of driving costs to the vehicle provided that the technologies can be overridden or switched off by the driver so it seems self

driving cars are still not permitted the legal situation may be complex but so is the technology. we spoke to an expert on automated driving he works for one of germany's leading research institutes for road vehicles and rians lucky started automotive technology has been working on autonomous driving for years even trying it out on the institute's test track we asked him to explain in more detail how self driving cars work. the auto industry is working on prototypes that are able to recognize their surroundings the technology includes cameras radar and ultrasound sensors they tell the car where it is and who for what is in the vicinity. a radar system is installed behind this logo so it's not visible but the radar can see through the logo. down here we see

a laser base can lead us and. it registers the surroundings with one hundred eighty degrees in front of the vehicle. another radar sensors installed next to it that monitors the area up to two hundred meters away. hidden away here on the site is a camera system. it's able to detect the road markings. and other vehicles on the road. but many of these sensors have their weak points they only work optimally and good weather conditions. and the dozens of cameras and lead a census are optical system. can have a mix of senses cameras. all. the cars are also equipped with extremely precise digital maps the navigational data road markings and

stoplights as well as the houses and trees are recorded on different levels keeping these maps up to date and accurate is crucial current user generated content is also used to create the best possible digital maps. well let's hope the onboard computer doesn't crash. but guess what our expert says is the biggest challenge in road traffic. i would say the human being is the most complicated element to drive. people don't always act logically and consistently and given circumstances studies have shown that both pedestrians and drivers in different countries react very differently and not everyone observes the rules of the road in an effort to gauge these unpredictable reactions better the researchers speed different kinds of human behavior into their algorithms. we have very different patterns of behavior one might be very conservative another

might be very athletic oh very aggressive on account of these patterns can be recognized and you can use the algorithms of artificial intelligence to store them as models so the vehicle can recognize accurately if the driver ahead is a conservative or aggressive driver and adapt accordingly. drivers have always been accustomed to having control over the car and giving up that control can seem very strange and cause uncertainty so researchers analyzed human responses and test vehicles or on simulators. but in talk to ones which mention interaction between man and machine requires above all trust the driver has to be able to trust the system and he can only trust that you know if he's informed by the system you want to so the display an operating concept plays an essential role in other words how the machine shows the human its next steps.

the car has to communicate with me and i have got to listen. people's readiness to surrender control varies from country to country indian malaysian and chinese drivers other most willing oddly enough drivers in the big camp making nations would rather drive themselves with germany at the top of the list thirty one percent of those surveyed here say they would never willingly step into a self driving car skeptics are concerned about accidents caused by technical glitches losing control of their vehicles or hackers interfering henri's like this are not to be taken lightly autonomous vehicles need software updates and must communicate with their surroundings that opens the door to potential hackers and fatal accidents involving said driving cars have already dampened the euphoria somewhat are we ready for driving in the future people in chandler wear way

more is testing the self driving taxis have already attacked such vehicles several times with rocks and even knives people don't want to be guinea pigs in role traffic but what do you think are you looking forward to being chauffeured around and relaxing in autonomy. or do you have your doubts if yes why that is no join the discussion on facebook or its d.w. lockup. that was it for this edition of shift until next time by.
