12月23日消息,据国外媒体报道,谷歌周一发布第一辆已经完成的无人驾驶汽车原型,并表示会在圣诞假期对其进行道路测试。
虽然这并非谷歌汽车的第一款原型,但它是谷歌自2010年萌生开发无人驾驶汽车以来,最接近完美的设计原型。
这个已经完成的谷歌汽车原型有两个座位,看起来像是皮克斯动画里的汽车模型。这辆无人驾驶汽车没有方向盘、油门或是刹车踏板,并且它的最快时速不超过25英里每小时(约40千米每小时)。
相较于谷歌5月份首次公布的无人驾驶汽车,这次已经完成的汽车原型功能更加全面。之前的汽车原型缺少一些核心功能,如汽车头灯。
这款最新的谷歌无人驾驶汽车综合了此前众多原型车部件。谷歌自今年5月份以来,就曾动用100辆汽车原型分别测试汽车的不同配件。
目前,谷歌并未透露最新的汽车细节,也未表明其是否会大批量进入市场。谷歌表示,无人驾驶汽车是利用传感器和监控软件控制汽车,驾驶员要做的就是“按”一下开始按钮。(中国进出口网)
Foreign media reported On December 23, Google on Monday released the first self-driving car prototype, which has been completed and would be road tested during the Christmas holidays.
Although it’s not the first prototype of Google cars, but it’s closest to a perfect prototype since Google started developing the self-driving car in 2000.
There are two seats in the Google car prototype, which looks like the car model of Pixar animation. The self-driving car has no steering wheel, accelerator or brake pedal, and its fastest speed is no more than 25 mph (about 40 kilometers per hour).
Compared with the self-driving car Google first released in May, this released car prototype has more comprehensive features, and some key features like car headlights are applied.
The latest Google driverless car incorporates many previous prototype parts. since May this year, Google had tested different accessories relatively on 100 car prototypes.
Currently, Google did not disclose the details of the latest driverless car and did not indicate whether it will enter the market in large quantities. Google said the driverless car takes control through sensors and monitoring software and the driver just needs to "press" the start button.
