I-Audi autopilot test drive
Ngicindezela izinkinobho ezimbalwa, ngidedele isiteringi, ama-pedals bese ngiqala ukwenza ibhizinisi lami: ukuthumela imiyalezo ngezithunywa, ukuvuselela imeyili yami nokubuka i-YouTube. Yebo, akusilo iphupho leli
Noma kunjalo, kuhle ukuthi inkampani yezindiza kazwelonke ingalisebenzisi iwayini ezindizeni zasekuseni. Ngemuva kokugibela indiza ngiye eMunich, ngalingwa kakhulu ukweqa inkomishi yephepha yomile omhlophe. Kepha babungekho utshwala kwimenyu yasekuseni - futhi babudlala ezandleni zami. Ngoba lapho ngifika enhlokodolobha yaseBavaria, kwavela ukuthi ukuhlolwa kwezithuthi kusakhombisa ukubamba kwami iqhaza ekushayeleni.
Ama-prototypes amabili asuselwa ku-RS7 ne-A7 Sportback, amaJalimane ahlola ngayo izinhlelo zokulawula ezizimele, anikezwa amagama abantu - uBob noJack. UBob onombala oqinile ume kwi-Audi Sphere kwenye yamatheminali esikhumulweni sezindiza eMunich. I-grille yayo nebhebhe langaphambili lishwabanise amaconsi amanzi emvula angcolile nezimpawu zezinambuzane.
UBob wafika lapha aqonde ngqo eNurburgring, lapho ayeshayisa khona imibuthano engenamshayeli. Futhi ngaphambi kwalokho, uBobby usaphumelele ukudonsa amakhilomitha ayizinkulungwane ezimbalwa emhlabeni jikelele. Okokuqala, bavivinya ikhono lokulandela umzila osethwe ku-navigator besebenzisa isignali ye-GPS futhi babhala imikhondo efanelekile nephephile yokuhamba. Ngemininingwane yomgwaqo, uBob akakwazi ukushayela kuphela kuthrekhi, kodwa ukwenze ngokushesha okukhulu. Cishe ufana nomjaho onguchwepheshe.
Umlingani wakhe uJack uphikisana ngqo noBobby. Ugcina umthetho ngangokunokwenzeka futhi akasoze ephula imithetho. UJack ulengiswe kumbuthano onamakhamera ayishumi nambili, ama-scanner nama-sonars, acwaninga kahle iqiniso eliseduze: alandela ukumakwa, afunde izimpawu, aqaphele abanye abasebenzisi bomgwaqo, abahamba ngezinyawo nezithiyo emgwaqweni.
Ngemuva kokucubungula okusheshayo, badlulisa imininingwane eqoqiwe kuyunithi elilodwa lokulawula. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngokwesisekelo sale mininingwane, "ubuchopho" be-elekthronikhi obenza i-autopilot benza izinqumo mayelana nokwenziwa yimoto futhi banikeze imiyalo efanelekile kumayunithi wokulawula wenjini, u-gearbox, indlela yokuqondisa kanye nohlelo lwamabhuleki. Futhi zona, ziyashesha, zishintshe umzila wokuhamba ngomgwaqo noma zehlise ijubane imoto.
“Into engangena endleleni kaJack yisimo sezulu esibi. Isibonelo, ukuna kwemvula noma iqhwa elinzima, ”kusho uchwepheshe wakwa-Audi lapho ngihleli ngemuva kwesondo le-A7. "Kodwa ezimweni ezinjalo, umbono womuntu ungahluleka."
Ingaphakathi likaJack lihlukile kungaphakathi kwemoto yokukhiqiza ngezindlela ezintathu. Okokuqala, kwi-centre console, ngaphansi kwesibonisi esijwayelekile se-Audi MMI, kunesinye isikrini esincane sombala, esibonisa amasiginali kumshayeli, siphinde silingise isenzo sezithuthi.
Okwesibili, ezansi kwesivikelo somoya kunesiqeshana sesibonisi se-diode, lapho, ngemibala ehlukene ekhanyayo (kusuka ku-turquoise okhanyayo kuya kobomvu ngokugqamile), exwayisa ngamathuba okuvula i-autopilot, kanye nokuvalwa kwayo okuseduze. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwizipikha ezingezansi zesiteringi, kunezinkinobho ezimbili ezingeziwe ezinezithonjana ezingamasondo okushayela, ngokuzicindezela kanyekanye i-autopilot iyasebenza.
Ngemuva kwesifinyezo esifushane ngemodi yedemo nendawo lapho kuzulazulwa khona, ummeleli we-Audi uvumela imoto ukuthi iqale. Ngishiya isikhumulo sezindiza ngesandla, ngaphandle kosizo oluvela kumuntu ohamba ngezimoto. Uhlelo lokulawula oluzimele esizivivinyayo lusezingeni lesithathu. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ingasebenza ngokuzimela kuphela ezingxenyeni ezithile zemigwaqo yomphakathi. Ukunemba kakhudlwana, kuphela emigwaqeni yasedolobheni.
Ngemuva kokuphuma ku-A9 ibheke eNuremberg, inkomba ezansi kwefasitela lomoya iqala ukukhanya ngombala oluluhlaza. Kuhle - ungavula i-autopilot. Uhlelo lusebenza ngomzuzwana ohlukanisiwe ngemuva kokucindezela izinkinobho ngasikhathi sinye. "Manje ake uyeke isiteringi, amaphedali bese uphumule nje, uma ukwazi," kweluleka unjiniyela owayehamba naye.
Yize uJack uqobo lwakhe ebonakala engaphikisani nokuthi umshayeli athathe isihlwathi. Ngoba usebenza njengomshayeli wemoto onamava kakhulu. Ukusheshisa kokuhamba kulungile, ukwehlisa nakho kubushelelezi, futhi ukudlula nokushintsha imizila kusuka kulayini uye kulayini kuthambile futhi akunamajezi. UJack udlula izinqola endleleni yakhe kaninginingi, bese ebuyela kulayini wokuqala, agcine isivinini esivunyelwe yizimpawu.
Isexwayiso sokuphuma kwe-Autobahn esiseduze sivela kumephu yokuzulazula. Isibonisi esinjengesondo lokushayela sikhanya kusibonisi esincane bese kuqala ukubala phansi. Ngokuqondile ngomzuzu owodwa, i-autopilot izocima futhi ukulawula imoto kuzophinde kube phezu kwami. Ngasikhathi sinye, inkomba engaphansi kwefasitela lomoya iqala ukushintsha umbala ube owolintshi, nemizuzwana engu-15 ngaphambi kokuthi i-autopilot icishwe, iba bomvu ngokugqamile. Ngifaka ukuphuma kwe-clover kusuka e-Autobahn ngingedwa. Konke - sibuyela esikhumulweni sezindiza.
Isikhathi esifushane sehora, ngikwazile ukungena esikhathini esizayo esiseduze. Akungabazeki ukuthi eminyakeni embalwa lezi zinhlelo zizofakwa ezimotweni zokukhiqiza. Akekho umuntu othi zonke izimoto ezintsha zizoqala ukuhamba emigwaqweni zodwa. Ngalokhu, okungenani, kuyadingeka ukuthi bonke bafunde "ukuxhumana omunye nomunye."
Kepha iqiniso lokuthi ukuphathwa komshini isikhathi eside kungadluliselwa ku-elekthronikhi kuyinto eyi-fait accompli. Okungenani, izixazululo eziphelele zokufakwa ezimotweni sezivele ziphambi kwethu. Futhi kubonakala sengathi eminyakeni ezayo kuzoba yingxenye ekhula ngokushesha emakethe.
Namuhla, hhayi kuphela ama-automaker, kepha nezikhulu ze-IT, kufaka phakathi iGoogle noma i-Apple, zithuthukisa ukuzimela kwezimoto. Muva nje, ngisho neRussia Yandex ijoyine lo mjaho.
