Mass Transit - 39
Automated Driving
"We are most likely [going] to see
autonomous vehicles first in less complicated scenarios such as commercial
vehicles on highways," Williams said.
"In cities, it will begin with vehicles like
autonomous shuttles on defined routes
at lower speeds."
Ben Englander, CEO, Rosco, echoes
Williams' caution of adding automation
in urban environments, citing concerns of
pedestrians not adhering to rules of the
street and vehicles behaving unpredictably.
"The latest Mobileye Shield+ vision-based sensors and the associated
artificial intelligence are becoming more
capable to recognize and manage these
challenging scenarios, but more work
still needs to be done to safely implement
automation," Englander said.
Burcar adds other challenges to implementing further automation include
regulations, industry standards and public acceptance of the technology.
"We are actively supporting and responding to inquiries from the [U.S.
Rosco
Department of Transportation], [Federal Transit Administration], [National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration]
and others to help lay the groundwork
required for policy and regulation to be
put in place," Burcar said.
Despite these roadblocks one thing is
certain: ADAS technology will continue to evolve as companies work towards
higher levels of automation.
MOBILEYE'S SHIELD+ provides forward
and side sensing to alert the driver
to potential collisions with vehicles,
pedestrians or bicyclists.
"Advancements in road safety and in
autonomy are not a matter of if we can
afford them - the facts observed from
global roads statistics show that we can't
afford not to pursue them," Williams
said.
