In the early 1980s, television was filled with exciting new illusions about how technology would change our lives. For example, digital watches can make us invisible (unfortunately Gemini Man still does not start shooting), the car's whimsy such as Airwolf (flying wolf) and Bionic Man/Woman (humanoid) about the full enhancement of the human body. Of course, no one is more attractive to me than "Knight Rider". David Hasselhoff plays Michael Knight, a Batman who doesn't need clothing. Batman's car is as smart as him, KITT (Chinese translation) Kitt is more than just an artificial intelligence (AI). It also has personality traits such as love, hate, jealousy and heroism. The origin of this film may be from Herbie from Disney, but there is still a big difference between KITT, smooth body, black mirror and LED headlights. KITT seems to represent the future.

One day, in the near future, all cars will be able to drive automatically.

Perhaps because of my early obsession with KITT, I have been eager to own a self-driving car. We need to be adventurous, so when I hear the idea that someone doesn't like to drive a car, I will always be surprised and feel that it is necessary to make some excuses for the future car.

In my opinion, the following are the key factors that make autonomous cars so attractive (in no particular order):

1. Self-driving cars are clearer than humans see

Thanks to the HDR (High Dynamic Range) camera, the self-driving car can recognize images in any situation, and its visual ability is clearer than humans in the dark, even if we use the best humans. LED lights. Processors designed for automotive vision may include an image signal processor (ISP) for acquiring image sensor data, vector processors such as PowerVR GPUs - efficient parallel data manipulation for pixels and feature vectors, multicore/ Multi-threaded CPU - for high-level heuristic learning and decision making. More sophisticated sensor fusion devices will further combine vision processing with radar, ultrasound, sonar and lidar (LIDAR) technologies, as well as more information from compasses, accelerometers and encoders. The final self-driving car will be able to use a variety of sensors to see objects in the 360° range – there will be no blind spots.

2. Automatic driving can safely follow the preceding car

Using Platoning technology (vehicle queuing technology), AI can control the acceleration, braking and steering of several vehicles, whether deployed in the front or the cloud. Because these cars are connected in series, they can stay together more closely. They have the same thinking, so they don't need to brake on the brakes, change lanes or change the speed, which greatly improves the fuel economy.

Why is a self-driving car so attractive?

3. Self-driving cars can do a few things at the same time

Self-driving cars should have the ability to recognize a large number of objects. From signposts to passing cats, understand their meaning or behavior in different situations and immediately make judgments in the system. If we can't provide real-time response, then even having an advanced collision avoidance system is useless. We need to implement a comprehensive real-time intelligent system, which requires the highly parallel computing features of PowerVR GPUs. This technology provided by ImaginaTIon is very suitable for such systems.

4. Self-driving cars are as good as people.

Ok, I am saying "it's just as good" but maybe I should say "better". The reason why Platooning is attractive is that real drivers can't do it even if they are fully trained and focused. Focusing is a big advantage of AI (Artificial Intelligence), we may feel tired after driving for a few hours, but the car has no feeling. It will always be maintained and automatically adjusted only when conditions require it. Parallel parking is a big problem for novice drivers, and it's another way for autonomous vehicles to be precisely positioned, and it's better than humans in terms of speed and safety, which is important on a busy road.

5. I have better things to do

Today, I drive while listening to audio programs. I rarely go to the movies. I have little extra time besides working, cooking and caring for children. I am imagining that I can sit on my KITT on the way home. Movie, I will watch James Bond drive a million dollar Aston MarTIn into the river, but thanks to AI (artificial intelligence), unsafe driving will only be one Indirect fun, I hope that speeding will become a thing of the past, and traffic accidents will be greatly reduced. I will sit on the lounge chair in the car to process emails or chat with the AI ​​system ("Alexa, what did you dream of last night?"), I will sigh how we spent on such a dangerous road before or why some people claimed that they did not want to drive a car.

It looked avant-garde in the 1980s and it is still!
