Yesterday, the high-performance superrange EP9, which was a car, ran out of 257km / h on the US Casas American track, and boarded the big headlines. But what I want to say is another news that is related to it: On Yesterday's Barcelona World Mobile Communications Conference (MWC), Robiace released the final version of the full power driverless car: Robocar. This car will be used as a car for unmanned racing tournaments, which will officially participate in the Formula E competition in July this year.
Robiace is a company that Formula E and another technology company Kinetik jointly formed in 2015, which is committed to R & D "The world's first unmanned car". Robocar will eventually be assembled to ten teams. Each team will equip two racing, and ten teams will use the same racing hardware to fight against the same track, so each team's strategy is developing better unmanned driving. Algorithm and artificial intelligence technology have achieved competitive advantage.

A Robiace employee said in an interview that Robocar will exceed 300km / h, and the car released yesterday proved that he is not empty. Robocar bicycle weight is only 975 kg, 5 meters long, 2 meters wide, high ... It is about 0.5 meters - as shown, the roof is just the knee position of Robiace CEO Denis Sverdlov.
The truly radical place in this car is to directly cancel the driving position, not only without the throttle, brake, steering wheel, and even there is no, this is the real "unmanned" driving racing.
Robocar is equipped with 4 power of 300 kW, four motor division, collaboration, with RoboCar's ultra-high performance of 320km / h, and drive hardware and hardware, the chip is automatically driving from Ying Weida. Chip NVIDIA Drive PX2, due to the high speed of automatic driving system, the automatic driving system needs to make decisions in a shorter time. Therefore, Roborcar needs to be equipped with a richer sensor, here, cost is not within consideration. Robocar is equipped with 5 laser radar, 2 millimeter-wave radar, 18 ultrasonic sensors, 2 optical speed sensors, and 6 cameras (a 360 degree rotating camera).
Robiace CEO Sverdlov said it is developing focus on engineer team of vehicles. "This is not the competition of the budget, this is the competition of intelligence."
In recent games, Robiace tested the two development versions of RoboCar, even in BUENOS AIRES, the two cars were confront, and when a car accelerated to 115MPH (about 185km / h), another Accident crash occurred.
The main designer behind this performance monster is Daniel Simon, he is a light bicycle designer of TRON. He evaluated Robocar: "I have seen a lot of cool things, TRON, Bugadi, Star Wars, but this car is the coolest thing (But this takes the cake)."
After the end of the Formula E season in July this year, Robiace will officially launch the Robiace Championship next year. For the unmanned technology team to fight against. In the article "FF participation PPIHC" before 36, the Chinese electric car startups have been reported to the Fara, the Future (FF) of Jiaojiting Investment Holdings, and the Future Future (FF), which has been formulated many times, which is the flight team. The driver's small leatite also won the 2014-15formula e First Season Rider Championship.
A few days ago, FF announced that "sending" FF91 participated in the Pike Peak International Climb (PPIHC) held in July this year, so as to further promote the internal development of our project, continue to improve our power assembly for FF91 design, and Pike Peak offers A strict environment, we can use it. "(FF spokesperson)
Yesterday, the flight with EP9 went to the Circuit of the Americas, and conducted an unmanned test. According to the official statement, the test created a speed record of 257km / h so that EP9 became the world's fastest driver.
According to the official, this test aims to verify the forward-looking vehicle electronic control architecture and sensor system layout applied by EP9. It is desirable to obtain a car in an ultra-high speed to implement the control performance of the vehicle in the unmanned driving system.
Americas COO Katja Heims said: "We are honored to witness the world record created by Wei to EP9 in the American track, which is the perfect combination of performance and driver technology. This record once again proved that no driving is a future trend. "
This is more interesting. These two manufacturers are so keen to participate in international events to verify engineering technology and vehicle performance, so unmanned, all electric Robiace Championships are almost tailored to the two, Tesla is enhanced AutoSteer's speed limit in the AutoPilot update, is exactly close enough with hardware and software, slower speed can leave longer analysis and decision-making time to the automatic driving system, and test in the speed of the track, you can verify The technical level of the automatic driving system in extreme cases.
For the Robiace Championship, I don't know how FF and Wei. Technology area
The global unmanned market is competitive, and the safety hazard needs regulations.
