Driverless cars integrate many technologies such as automatic control, architecture, artificial intelligence and visual computing. It is the product of highly developed computer science, pattern recognition and intelligent control technology, and it is also an important symbol to measure a country's scientific research strength and industrial level, and has broad application prospects in the fields of national defense and national economy.
Since the 1970s, the United States, Britain, Germany and other developed countries have begun to study driverless cars, and have made breakthroughs in feasibility and practicality. China began to study driverless cars in the 1980s, and the University of National Defense Technology successfully developed the first truly driverless car in China at 1992.
In 2005, the first urban driverless car was successfully developed in Shanghai Jiaotong University. It is expected that the car will be the first demonstration operation in Shanghai Century Park within two years, and will show its talents at the 20 10 World Expo. At that time, visitors only need to press a button at the gate of the park, and a four-seat convertible car without a driver will come from a distance, stop slowly, and then take the passengers to the scenic spots they want to go.
