unmanned vehicles from Italy go to China

Imagine a long way from Parma, Italy and ends in China. Now imagine what happens in the car without a driver.

This is precisely the project that will be planned. This trip is not offered to send a Knight Rider car types to make the journey through all his lonely, but with four vans. A van is driven at the front, with two vans robot in the middle, followed by a van as a rule in the case of maintenance problems.

The plan is to see how these vehicles react to stimuli. My guess, it refers to the traffic lights, pedestrians and other road hazards. Yes, it is very dangerous, and this transporter robot is not complete without a driver. It will drive people to the acquisition will be at the push of a button, if it appears that there are problems.

As a project manager Alberto Broggi wrote:

What we are trying to do is stress to our systems and see if they intersect in a real environment with real-time real traffic and crazy people who can work the street in front of you and your vehicle back.

I am glad to hear special about this trip. I can not wait to hear the first time, we will send you a vehicle without a driver on the road. I wonder if this is the next step, this trip should prove fruitful.
