Renault Auto pilot

2017: Test of an auto pilot

The French car maker Renault developed technology thanks to which the autopiloted cars can go round obstacles in emergency situations almost at the same speed, as professional drivers.

The observer of the TechCrunch portal told that at the end of October, 2017 it tested an auto pilot and was surprised to its work. During test drive the journalist tried to go round an obstacle in speed of 23 miles/hour (37 km/h), and as a result ran into a cone. At the same time, the car on an automatic pilot could overcome successfully all obstacles and cones in the speed of 27 miles/hour (43 km/h), the reporter reported.

Showed to Renault the auto pilot which is going round obstacles it is similar to professional drivers

The division of Renault Open Innovation Lab (is based in the American Silicon Valley) reported the Medium.com portal the following: "Despite widely occurring opinion, in fact people are excellent drivers. In the majority of the developed countries they become responsible less than one deadly incident on 100 million miles. It is essentially important to exceed such indicator for improvement of security and the embodiment of a dream of our autopiloted cars which will be able to increase productivity of both daily trips to work, and robotic automobile services in the city centers. To achieve an effective objective, we should study at the best of the best. In particular, since 2014 we actively cooperate with professor Chris Gerdes who was the chief specialist on innovations of the U.S. Department of Transportation and its command of Stanford University".

In September, 2017 Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishis said that their alliance is going to become one of leaders in production of the electric and autopiloted cars. By 2022 so-called Alliance 2022 is going to put in production of 12 electric vehicles and 40 autopiloted cars from which Renault will create more than 15 models with different degree of opportunities of autopiloting.^[1]
