bmw shows off their semi-autonomous driving system cdc
Bookmarked 739 weeks ago
bmw announced their connecteddrive connect cdc semi-autonomous driving system back in august but the company has just released a new video of it in actionwhile the clip is in german it shows some fairly relaxed engineers taking their hands off the steering wheel and letting the car drive itself as we have previously reported cdc works on pre-mapped highways by pinpointing the car039s position and the location of surrounding objects once everything has been determined cdc controls the braking and acceleration like an advanced cruise control systemhowever when the car senses it is behind a slowpoke it looks for an open lane where it can safely merge at speeds up to 130 kmh 81 mph if an opening is found the system will steer the vehicle into that lane pass the slower vehicle and return to its original laneas dr nico kaempchen explains quotour main challenge was to develop algorithms that can handle entirely new situations in principal the system works on all freeways that we have mapped out beforehand with a centimeter accuracyquot he goes on to say cdc ensures the car quotadheres to all traffic lawsquot and sticks to the speed limit

crash avoidance features reduce crashes
Bookmarked 716 weeks ago
an early crop of advanced crash avoidance technologies includes some clear success stories when it comes to preventing crashes insurance claim analyses by the highway loss data institute hldi show forward collision avoidance systems particularly those that can brake autonomously along with adaptive headlights which shift direction as the driver steers show the biggest crash reductions lane departure warning appears to hurt rather than help though it039s not clear why and other systems such as blind spot detection and park assist aren039t showing clear effects on crash patterns yet hldi analysts looked at how each feature affected claim frequency under a variety of insurance coverages for damage and injuries clear patterns were seen in claims under property damage liability pdl insurance which covers damage caused by the insured vehicle to another vehicle and collision insurance which covers damage to the insured vehicle frequency is measured as the number of claims relative to the number of insured vehicle years an insured vehicle year is one vehicle insured for one year two vehicles for six months etc the model years of the vehicles included ranged from 2000 to 2011 depending on when an automaker introduced a feature insurance data through august 2011 were used
