Self-driving technology will save people's lives every year Toyota will resume road test soon


Core Tip: According to foreign media reports, the Toyota North American CEO at the New York Auto Show on March 29, 2018 declared that in the early stages of self-driving car R&D, there may be a traffic accident that killed hundreds of people. However, as the technology matures, it can save more people's lives. The reality is that there will be new mistakes in the development of autopilot. In the future, there will be traffic accidents like Uber in Arizona. There may be 500-1000 people who will die. The question is whether this price is worth it, depending on whether auto-pilot vehicles can evade tens of thousands of traffic deaths each year in the future. See the text

According to foreign media reports, Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz announced at the New York Auto Show on Thursday (March 29, 2018) that in the early stages of the development of self-driving cars, there might be hundreds of deaths due to traffic accidents. Lost life. However, as the technology matures, it can save more people's lives.

Uber's traffic fatal accidents have caused many people to question or worry about autopilot technology. Many car companies and technology companies also suspended autopilot road tests. However, Lentz announced on Thursday that as automakers and technology companies advance the development of autonomous driving, more traffic fatalities will occur.

He told Reuters: "The reality is that there will be new mistakes in the development of autonomous driving. In the future, there will be similar traffic accident deaths in Uber, Arizona, and 500-1000 people may be killed. Whether this price is worth it depends on whether or not the self-driving vehicle can evade tens of thousands of traffic deaths each year."

Lentz said that the American public has not yet accepted self-driving cars, and the acceptance of such vehicles is bound to be a long process. According to Lentz’s estimation, after the autopilot technology is mature, it may save the lives of 35,000 people each year, of which nearly 98% of the traffic deaths are attributed to the human operator’s operational errors.

He also said: “The auto industry needs to persuade consumers to believe that computer driving is safer than human driving. After the Uber traffic accident occurred, Toyota immediately suspended autopilot test, but he said that road test The suspension time will not be too long."

He said: "I think that the road test will be started again soon. The reason why Toyota suspended the drive test is mainly because the Uber accident has an impact on the test driver, rather than worrying about autopilot technology. Too long.” Toyota plans to introduce a new system that will, to a certain extent, be capable of implementing autopilot, which is expected to be used for the 2020 Summer Olympics.
