Is autonomous driving controversial? MIT proposes the idea of "parallel autonomous driving"
|
Self-driving cars have caused widespread controversy. Currently, MIT University is studying a new type of self-driving: "parallel self-driving". In this state, humans are still the drivers of the car, and the computer system will only intervene when there is a problem. "Parallel self-driving" is like the ultimate version of the car's safety function. "You can think of it as a guardian angel, not a driver of the car," said Daniela Rus, a professor of robotics and the leader of the project, to Wired. Rus believes that compared with self-driving, "parallel self-driving" has no technical and policy obstacles, so it is easier to achieve. Today, many companies have begun testing self-driving cars, but these cars still need human supervision. Rus praised the efforts of these companies in fully self-driving cars, but she believes that we don't need to wait any longer. "Gradually, self-driving will benefit everyone, but the current technology is still not up to standard," she said. "We need to drive in rainy and snowy weather and through very crowded areas - parallel self-driving is an immediate step we can take to make driving safer." The MIT team equipped a Prius with cameras, Lidar systems, high-end GPS systems, and various sensors. The car can track moving objects, such as pedestrians and cyclists, and use this to determine how to drive safely. If the human driver makes a mistake, the computer will take over control of the car. Rus said it was a strange experience, but it has proven to be effective. Wendy Ju of Stanford University's Interaction Design Research Center agrees with MIT's "Parallel Autonomous Driving" project. She said that a major challenge facing the commercialization of self-driving cars is that humans have to serve as backups, but humans are very unreliable. "In a self-driving car, people will feel sleepy and it will be difficult to stay alert." However, she also raised whether humans will become more bold when they know that the computer is watching over them. Rus said this is also a question she wants to study, but she believes that if they can control the car, humans will become more responsible, and humans are reluctant to give up control of the car. Driving can be a lot of fun. Wendy Ju's research also confirmed this. When people stay in a self-driving car for 30 minutes, they usually become very bored. "Everyone thinks that riding in a self-driving car is super exciting, but in fact, it is a super boring experience."
