Not long ago, Google (microblogging) reorganized its auto-driving car business, split it into an independent company, and said it would launch more practical technologies and services. A patent recently filed by Google shows that in the future, Google will apply autonomous vehicles to the field of mobile vehicles and become an official opponent of Uber.
According to the US technology news website Theverge, Google has previously split the R&D business of self-driving cars into an independent company, Waymo. Google has also made major adjustments to the business, will abandon the radical goal of canceling the brakes and steering wheel, and will give up building itself. In autonomous vehicles, Google will focus on autopilot systems and license technology and software to external automakers.
Recently, the patent website "Patent Yogi" discovered a new patent applied by Google, indicating that Google is preparing for technology in the field of mobile service. The core of this patent is to determine the best place to accept passengers and driving routes for future autonomous car fleets.
Google said that based on some simple information entered by passengers, such as the location of the car, the destination, etc., the self-driving car will be able to determine the entire driving plan. In other words, Google has developed technology for how to automatically control cars, and this time the patent involves the pick-up and drop-off business.
It should be pointed out that although many companies have already tested self-driving cars in different cities, in the future mobile car service, autonomous vehicles still cannot achieve the high precision services of ordinary manned vehicles, such as pick-up or drop-off locations. Autonomous vehicles must avoid complex areas such as a construction site or a road that only allows emergency vehicles to pass. Therefore, self-driving cars still plan their own driving plans.
Google's patent application documents show that in the future, a mobile car "central dispatch system" will be designed, which will give an ideal location for passengers. Google said it will consider various factors to determine the relevant location, such as the current location of the mobile car, security, service usefulness and so on.
In the field of autonomous vehicles, Google is currently in the lead. But the company's past goals were too ambitious to influence the commercial application of new technologies. After Google's success, many technology companies and traditional car companies have also entered the field of autonomous driving, and Tesla has put the relevant technology into the application.
According to reports, some engineers of the Google car team believe that competitors are catching up quickly, and Google’s past advantages of autonomous vehicles are shrinking, so Google must adjust its strategy.
Previously, the new independent Waymo company has announced that it will work with Chrysler to install Google's autopilot system on the other's travel and leisure vehicles.
There is no officially confirmed news that Google is preparing to cooperate with Chrysler to use the autonomous car fleet in the future to launch a mobile car service, and to compete with Uber and Lyft.
In addition to autonomous driving technology, Google also has a crowded map and driving route recommended business Waze. This business is also expected to be applied to Google's car service. At peak traffic times, Waze's services can tell which sections are more congested and how to choose the best driving route.
At the recent Detroit Auto Show, Waymo's CEO, John Krafcik, said the new company is considering a range of new products and services, including logistics and courier services, mobile car services, and personal transport charters. The so-called "last mile" solution.
According to reports, Google's mobile car will start from small-scale services, first deployed in some university towns, military bases, company office parks and so on. This can help Google gain data and experience to deploy services in urban streets in the future.
It is worth mentioning that not long ago, Google's above-mentioned subsidiary, Waze, has launched a shuttle service in Silicon Valley and other regions, which allows employees of technology companies to share cars according to commuting routes. This service is different from Uber's mobile car. In addition, in addition to helping each other, drivers are hard to get rich profits.
Google wants to enter the mobile car, and Uber, the originator of the car, has also aimed at autonomous car technology, and in the future is also ready to make this car the main force of the passengers. Uber has established an autopilot technology R&D base in Pittsburgh, USA, and has established a partnership with Carnegie Mellon University, where Uber has begun experimenting with self-driving taxi services. In terms of technical utility, Uber is even ahead of Google. .
Generally, there are: parallel port cable, USB cable, and network cabledd
