Public Expectations Vs Reality
• Typical Autonomous Tech
consumes >2kW of power
Transition from
There are a lot of edge cases to consider! road to stairs
=> Fix this by providing full Autonomy in all passenger & freight vehicles
However …
The international Transport Workers Federation (ITF) estimates that 4.4m of the 6.4m professional trucking jobs
could be eliminated by autonomous technology – Industry Push-back
A 2013 survey, on “in-vehicle technology use”, revealed that 20% of drivers NEVER used cruise control, and 46%
only occasionally – Consumer push-back
=> Logical step - provide accident avoidance functionality, not full driver replacement => Improve
ADAS systems first
=> Accept that you will have the safety, but not the convenience of a self-driving car
Trajectory planning;
➢ Best practice is to send 2 paths simultaneously
➢ 1 Ideal trajectory
➢ Safe recovery trajectory
1. Large number of edge cases (long development time for Level 5 Full AV cars), and consumer push-back
=> Safety functionality for Pass Car
4. everything else … mining trucks, tractors, forklifts, street sweepers, tiny vehicles of all sorts
=> By far the largest part of the market for Autonomous Systems
=> Do not carry passengers
=> Do not exceed grip limits
=> Low consequence if things ’get out of control’
