THE PIONEER was Google, then came all the major automobile companies. And now begins the charge of Asian technology companies. Watchword focus on autonomous driving car, considered the future of mobility. A peep between the Western giants there Baidu, the largest search engine in China, basically the equivalent of Google. And the Korean Samsung. Baidu has completed a test with a car with no driver in Beijing: a path of 30 kilometers of roads and highways, with turns, U-turns, lane changes and overtaking. Even reaching a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. “The guide is completely independent of the road is already busy, you add to this the complexity of Beijing,” said Jing Wang, senior vice president of Baidu. For testing we used a modified BMW 3 Series, it has a system of cameras and sensors that map their surroundings. The detailed maps are a cornerstone of the cars without driver so that Tesla, a consortium of German automotive companies and Uber are developing a system of maps. The ‘driverless car’ Baidu is the result of a project initiated by the Chinese in 2013 and that will bring in the coming years to debut on the market. The timing at the time have not been disclosed, other than the destination of the car seems rather than projects of Google. Baidu said the Wall Street Journal that the technology will initially be used on “shared vehicles or shuttle services.” Well designed public transport. To discover, however, that the project will field Samsung who recently announced the formation of a division that will drive to autonomous driving. And also to Apple – second repeated media reports – has been working for some time on a project ‘ad hoc’ called Titan. The pioneer in this area was that Google launched the first prototype in 2014, like a Smart car, and he already did some testing on the road in California. The goal of Big G is to have, by 2020, cars that drive themselves as technology standard. Objective supported by the “prophecy” of a visionary contemporary, Elon Musk. According to the owner of Tesla, in the near future driverless car will even be ‘imposed’ by law. In terms of autonomous driving is in full swing not only the technology industry but also the traditional automobile, with the all Big already involved, including the number one Fca Sergio Marchionne, who is also got into the Google Car. And in Detroit, the US city where it holds one of the biggest events of the automotive industry, has led to a mini-metropolis made for the road tests of autonomous vehicles. Mercedes has already made some tests.
