Unique unmanned 2-wheeler

With self-driving ability and self-balancing, this unique 2-wheel vehicle promises to be a vehicle in the future.

Gyrocar is a two-wheeled vehicle, but different from bicycles and motorcycles where there is the ability to keep balance by the gyroscope.

On April 28, 1914, the first gyrocar was released to the public at Pegent Park, central London. At that time, the gyrocar is a strange phenomenon when people can go up and down when the car slows down without losing balance. At the same time, when not running, the car still maintains balance.

However, to date, this type of vehicle has not been developed by many investment companies. Zhu, founder of Beijing Lingyun Smart Technology Company (China), hopes to upgrade the gyrocar cars to serve a modern society in the future.

"In the past, a potential investor told me that my idea was crazy and ineffective. But I believe that the gyrocar will become the future travel trend because of the modernity, the ability to save energy. Their amount and ease of use , " Zhu said.

Five years ago Zhu saw Ford's Gyron model in 1961 on the Internet. Although Gyron 1961 had never been mass-produced but immediately in 2014, Zhu decided to start a $ 470,000 company and three employees to design a similar model.

Zhu's new model has no accelerator or accelerator pedal. Instead, the car controls speed through a computer system that includes a computer mouse and a 14-inch screen.

Gyron 1961 has 2 seats, Zhu's model has only one seat. This unique car is about 3m long and reaches a maximum speed of about 100km / h.

The car is also equipped with autopilot thanks to a complex camera, radar and computer system on the car.

Smart technology company Beijing Lingyun is currently planning to produce widely and is expected to launch the product in 2020. Currently the car is being tested in Beijing, China.

"One-seater vehicles will grow further in the future and make sure the market for this car will be expanding. We believe as long as the car is good and safe, countries will allow cars to drive themselves." , Li Jianwei, director of Sequoia Capital, which is currently contributing to Zhu's company, said.

How does a self-driving car work?

According to the Daily Mail, a self-driving car needs to ensure three factors: the GPS system determines the itinerary; Sensors to detect unexpected situations on the road, and a system capable of combining GPS information and magnetic sensors into real action.

To perform this task, the vehicle must be equipped with indispensable "tools" including camera, radar and laser, connected to the internal computer system to help the car see the situation around the outside, immediately even in bad weather.
