In the year 2014, Google fired a shot heard all the way to Detroit. Google’s newest driverless car had no steering wheel and no brakes. The message was clear: cars of the future will be born fully autonomous, with no human driver needed. In the coming decade, self-driving cars will hit the streets, rearranging established industries and reshaping cities, giving us new choices in where we live and how we work and play.
In this book, Hod Lipson and Melba Kurman offer readers insight into the risks and benefits of driverless cars and a lucid and engaging explanation of the enabling technology. Recent advances in software and robotics are toppling long-standing technological barriers that for decades have confined self-driving cars to the realm of fantasy. A new kind of artificial intelligence software called deep learning gives cars rapid and accurate visual perception. Human drivers can relax and take their eyes off the road.
When human drivers let intelligent software take the wheel, driverless cars will offer billions of people all over the world a safer, cleaner, and more convenient mode of transportation. Although the technology is nearly ready, car companies and policy makers may not be. The authors make a compelling case for why government, industry, and consumers need to work together to make the development of driverless cars our society’s next “Apollo moment.”

这本书中作者已经描绘出了无人驾驶车运行的情景和未来整个交通系统的行驶规则,讲述的无人驾驶很前沿,却也离我们很近,在未来的道路上,将会有很少的车是由司机驾驶的,人只需要坐在车里确定自己的目的地就行了,甚至可以在路上干别的事情,而无人驾驶车在行驶中互相也不会发...
评分一、自动驾驶技术经历的三个发展阶段 一是自动化高速公路阶段(硬件建设阶段、初级阶段)。1939年,通用汽车公司在纽约世博会上展示了世界上第一台无人驾驶汽车的原型,原理是在自动化高速公路上行驶的借助一套无线电控制系统管理的汽车,这一设计依赖于自动化高速公路建设。这...
评分CTO推荐的一本书,在飞机上读完了,读完之后,感觉写的确实不错,能够比较全方位多视角的看待无人驾驶领域。 评估新技术长期潜力的小型而实用的测试工具,零原则。产品推出后,一项或者多项生产工作的成本将降低到几乎为零。遵循零原则的技术推出几年后,产生了极大的行业影响...
