Additionally, along with the Carnegie Mellon University created the Centre of Advanced Technologies where they developed the technology and systems needed to create a shuttle service from personal and private through the use of autonomous vehicles.
The company said that, in its initial phase, the autonomous cars should cover only a select group of "loyal customers" of Uber in the city pensilvaniana. There, the users who ask for a car may be confronted with a Ford Fusion, you’ll still have someone on the steering wheel, but that will not be responsible primarily for driving the car.
The company selected some of the passengers are regulars to participate in the races, which are always accompanied by an engineer who oversees the operation of the steering system and is ready to take the wheel in case something goes of the plan.
The vehicles are equipped with 20 cameras, seven lasers, three units of measurement, and radar with 360 degrees, according to the company.
The Uber began to introduce their new line of cars ‘self-drivable’ in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There will also be a co-pilot making notes about how each race. Still don’t know how long the project will be in the air. It is still too early: “‘Self-Driving Ubers’ still come with a driver safety in the front seat, because the cars require human intervention in some conditions, including bad weather,” said the company in a press release. Two years ago the Uber “trains” on the ground. The executive also stressed that the option of new cars in the application will avoid the congestion on the streets and offer the rides more secure.
Certainly it is strange to imagine this working in the real world, but without a doubt there would be a certain lull in the traffic.
Cars that walk alone, it seems something of cinema, but are becoming reality. What do you think of all this?
