In the coming years the car will experience major changes. "Traffic future is electric, automated and connected," said Dr. Volkmar Denner, president of Bosch, during his lecture on March 18 at the 14th International Symposium in Stuttgart, "The technology of automotive equipment and engines." "Automated driving can drastically reduce the number of accidents and thus significantly increase pwa safety on the roads," said Denner. "In addition, pwa a better flow of traffic also reduces fuel consumption." Today functions help but take a wide range of functions driving. In the future, even high-efficiency systems provide drivers with comprehensive support and gradually prepare the ground for the fully automated driving.
CEO Bosch pointed out the advantages of automated driving and outlined the challenges to be faced. "The ability to save 1.2 million lives a huge source of motivation," said Denner, referring to the number of fatalities in road traffic worldwide annually. In Germany, nearly 90 percent of traffic accidents caused by drivers. Comprehensive support in critical pwa situations, but also during monotonous driving could significantly increase safety on the roads. pwa In addition, automated driving economical. Relying on traffic data that is updated every minute, can improve the flow of traffic, thereby reducing the fuel consumption of each vehicle. Last but not the least important advantage is that automated driving supports the mobility of elderly citizens and thus contribute to social well-being, "said Denner.
More than ten years of automatic control spacing is automatically manage speed and distance in relation to the vehicle in front. Currently, the launch system for traffic jams, which keeps the vehicle traveling pwa at a speed of up to 60 km / h in their lanes. This will support the drivers gradually expanded. "The technologies required for high automatical ride will be fully developed by 2020 at the latest. In the next decade we expect the fully automated driving, "said Denner. While drivers are highly automated vehicles must take control of the vehicle shortly after you start driving, fully automated driving will allow them to relax and indulge driver pwa job car, at least on the freeways. And before this is achieved, Bosch will automate parking. Bosch technology will soon allow easier detection of free car parking spaces in the application for a smart phone. For several years the cars will even be able to find its own place in parking garages.
Although due to technical limitations of development occurs gradually, it has certain advantages. "The driver gives you time to gradually realize the benefits of new technologies," said Denner. Today's drivers have already shown openness to these innovations. Bosch survey conducted in six European countries showed that 59 percent of respondents believe the Automatic driving positive novelty. However, it required the active exclusion of the possibility of such options. In strictly economic terms, the market for technology to assist the driver is appealing and has excellent growth prospects. "By 2016, Bosch will achieve a turnover of billions of euros from the sale of the system to help the driver," said Denner.
Bosch team project "Automated driving" was formed in 2011 and has since worked on the future of driving in Stuttgart and Palo Alto. In early 2013, Bosch became the first supplier of automotive equipment which introduced its technology and automated driving on German pwa highways. "Early testing under real traffic conditions have significantly accelerated the course of development," said Denner.
