The reason for the long press is to prevent the self-drive system from accidentally getting activated. To relinquish control of the car, the driver must press two buttons on the steering for several seconds. Plus, a barrage of sensors compares real-time data to make the reading more accurate. Using HD maps from partner Tom Tom, the car is capable of picking up its own location. In the real world, these would be highway sections where you could possibly take your hands off the wheel. As we drove off on a track, the large screen displayed sections that could support automated driving. The only scenario we encountered was a bike crossing our path, as the aim was to give us a behind-the-scenes peek into the development of the system. But more than demonstrating a host of situations that the car could tackle, Bosch took us on a simple route emulating a highway drive. According to the engineer who took us for a drive in the test Tesla, a self-driving car with a 360deg view cannot be distracted. And so, it makes a strong case for automation to reduce accidents caused due to distraction.

The sheer number of accidents caused by distracted drivers is alarming. Now, although self-driving cars are a distant reality in India – thanks to our chaotic roads and rampant driving mannerisms – globally, Daimler and Bosch say that they’ll be able to make fully automated (SAE Level 4) and driverless (SAE Level 5) vehicles a reality by the start of the next decade.
This year, the focus was on automated driving systems, connectivity and electrification.Īutomated driving is the buzzing topic when it comes to the future of mobility. The technical day at Bosch’s Boxberg test facility is always a fascinating one because we get a glimpse into the future of mobility.
