The car will be remotely controlled

Thanks to the efforts of a team of experts, engineers at Google, Oxford University and two BMWs, Continental, we are getting closer to the era of self-driving cars. But not stopping there, the Munchen Technical University (TUM) in Germany also develops remote-controlled vehicles capable of moving across the city while the driver is far away from the vehicle.

The TUM team has equipped a prototype electric vehicle called the Visio.M 6 camera, five mounted behind the rearview mirror (for front and side view) and one mounted on the rear glass of the car; When combined, they will display a 360-degree viewing angle around the vehicle. Direct camera images are transmitted to the remote control station via wireless network.

Here, three front and two side view screens, the fourth screen for the rear view. The feedback mechanism on the steering wheel and the brakes at the control station occurs simultaneously with the corresponding part of the vehicle, meaning that the operator only needs to sit at the station to be able to drive the vehicle away, just like they do. playing game. If the communication system is down, the car will stop and wait to be repaired.

Scientists say that the technology could be used to transfer cars rented in car sharing programs (currently in Europe) to members' homes, or for parking services. The car in the city center, in which, you just run the car to the place, stepped down the car is the car will automatically run into the parking lot. Although the licensing process for remote-controlled vehicles will be difficult, researchers hope the technology will come to life in 5-10 years.
