TOYOTA Self Driving


Using seven laser radars with total value of $ 123,000, Toyota really poured into the massive founds. Recently, the Toyota Research Institute made public the first unmanned prototype vehicle. Restructured by the Lexus LS 600hL model, this car is equipped with a sensor matrix consisting of a laser radar, radar and camera to minimize reliance on high-precision maps as much as possible.

The first unmanned test vehicle by TRI is based on Lexus LS 600hL. Just look at its sensor configuration, which is extremely luxurious. The most catching-eye on the roof is a 64-line laser radar HDL-64E manufactured by Velodyne, with priced at 75,000 US dollars; and the front and roof also equipped with six 16-line laser radar PUCK by $ 7999 priced at Velodyne official website. The around sides of the roof and two sides are common radar and GPS antenna, while the front side were installed three cameras. 7 expensive laser radar by total price USD 123000, it seems that TOYOTA really poured into the massive founds this time.
    This configuration is no doubt that Toyota's self-driving strategy similar to Google, Uber, and will mainly rely on the high precision real-time map drawing. A plurality of radar and camera sensors array redundancy design, making the whole automatic driving system will not rely too much on laser radar, which can still achieve automatic driving to a certain extent in the case of laser radar doesn’t work.
According to the car cloud, TRI will be based on this unmanned vehicle to carry out two automatic driving research:
    1, Virtual driver Chauffeur. Chauffeur is a Level oriented 4/Level 5 automatic driving technology, the requirements of Level 4 unmanned vehicles can only travel in specific regions of the city or the interstate highway; and according to the standard of Level 5 automatic driving cars can run under any conditions.

    2, Driver guard Guardian. Guardian as a driving assistance system can monitor the driving environment around the vehicle in real time. Once the potential risk appears, the system will alert the driver in time. If necessary, the system will be involved in the operation, in order to avoid the occurrence of serious accidents, such as collision.
TOYOTA believes that the study of the "Guardian" may be faster than "Chauffeur". Similar security features, such as AEB automatic emergency brake, has appeared in a lot of production models. There is no doubt that this two-way path of the R & D strategy also reflects the Toyota's attitude to the cautious towards autopilot. Differ from Google, Ford and those who wants to achieve unmanned car strategy in one step, Toyota hopes to develop driving assistance and unmanned systems that can help consumers accepted this new technology gradually, but also to ensure production of unmanned vehicles into the market truly safe and reliable through the two-way verification tests.
    According to Gill Pratt, head of TRI, this is an intelligent car that can learn the habits of the driver and can become "smarter" over time. It also reflects the Toyota attaches great importance to the interaction between the machine and the driver experience in the development of automatic driving technology, and TOYOTA on the CES this year to show the concept of the car on the main emotion recognition.
In December 2015, TOYOTA announced that it would invest $1 billion in TRI for the development of artificial intelligence technology for autonomous vehicles and home robots. At present, the headquarters of the Institute located in Los Altus (Los Altos) nearing the Stanford University, the other two branches are located not far from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Massachusetts and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor city.
