technologies allow park the car automatically – by pressing a button – and dodge objects that are in the way.
Ford introduced a new technology that parks the car for you while you quietly observes the performance of the outside – and all this just by pressing a button.
Fully Assisted Parking Aid is an evolution of the Active Park Assist, a feature currently available in vehicles like the Ford Focus in 2014, which requires that the driver be stopped.
Another technology called Obstacle Avoidance can detect objects moving slowly or are stopped (like people) about 200 meters away from the vehicle. If the object is in the way while parking, and the driver does not have any reaction, the car can take control and divert the obstacle or the brakes.
Ford said it tested the technology at speeds above 60km / h.
research projects were announced this week in Belgium. There is no timeframe for when we’ll see the technology in a Ford or Lincoln car at a dealer near you.
Earlier this year, Audi presented a similar technology called autoestacionar cars Piloted Parking, during CES 2013 in Las Vegas.
Drivers can send their cars to find a parking spot alone.
Ford did not indicate the extent of Fully Assisted Parking Aid, but the demonstrations showed a driver standing a few meters from the vehicle, suggesting a Bluetooth connection that spans about 10 meters.
Obstacle Avoidance Technology also has a precedence with other automakers. At Mercedes-Benz E550 2014, for example, the car can also detect objects and apply the brakes. Infiniti Q60 in 2013, the technology works in reverse: the car can detect an object that appears behind the car.
Ford’s research is important because it points to maneuver vehicles more automated in the future for driving without hands. And looking further ahead, we may be able to schedule our car in a type of autopilot to pick up the kids or he autoconduza to the gas station.
Computers can search objects faster than any human, and most importantly, in all directions around the car.
And it would not be bad if we could teach them to take the dog for a walk, eh?
