Umdyarho wokuziqhuba kweZithuthi phakathi kweTesla, iGM kunye neFord zithatha ukuGuquka okukhulu

Kuthathe iminyaka kaTesla ukuqinisekisa ilizwe elidala lemoto ukuba umbane lixesha elizayo kwaye urhuqe abenzi beepetroli ezinkulu kwihlabathi kugqatso lwezithuthi zombane. Ngoku, u-Elon Musk oqhuba uvulindlela we-EV, osandula ukugqitha iToyota ukuze abe yeyona moto ibaluleke kakhulu kwihlabathi, ekhokelela kumdlalo owahlukileyo kwilizwe lezithuthi: iimoto eziqhuba ngokwakho -okanye, ngokwenyani, iimoto ezizisebenzelayo, ubuncinci okwangoku.

Inkqubo yokuncedisa umqhubi we-Tesla engenazandla, i-Autopilot, ibisemarikeni phantse iminyaka emithandathu, kunye nohlaziyo lwesoftware ekhutshwe rhoqo kwiinyanga ezimbalwa, elowo ujikeleza isithuthi kufutshane nokuziqhuba ngokupheleleyo. Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yomngcipheko omkhulu wolu phawu (I-Autopilot kukholelwa ukuba idlale indima ubuncinci kwingozi ezintathu ezibulalayo ngenxa yokusetyenziswa gwenxa komqhubi), uninzi lwabadlali beTesla's EV babenqikaza ukuphuhlisa itekhnoloji yokhuphiswano kude kube kutshanje.

I-General Motors yazisa ngeSuper Cruise, inkqubo enokuqhuba imoto kumawakawaka eemayile kuhola wendlela eMntla Melika, ngo-2017. Kwaye kule veki, iFord ekugqibeleni ityhile impendulo yayo ye-Autopilot, indawo yokuncedisa umqhubi engenazandla ebizwa ngokuba yi-Active Drive Assist.

Isoftware ekudala ilindelwe iyinxalenye yenkqubo yokuncedisa umqhubi weFord's Co-Pilot360 (ADAS). Ngokufana ne-GM's Super Cruise, inokulawula isantya sezithuthi, ukuqhuba iziqhoboshi kunye nokuqhuba ngaphakathi kwimizila yemoto ngaphezulu kweemayile ezili-100 000 zeemayile esele zenziwe imephu e-US nase Canada zisebenzisa uninzi lweenzwa kunye neekhamera.

Umahluko ophambili phakathi kwenkqubo yeFord kunye ne-GM's Super Cruise kukuba iFord inxibelelana nabaqhubi ngescreen sedigital kunokuba ngokuyintloko ibhar yokukhanya kwivili lokuqhuba. UFord uqaphele ukuba eli nqaku libalulekile ukuqinisekisa unxibelelwano olugudileyo nabaqhubi kunye nokwakha ukuzithemba kwabaqhubi.

Umsebenzi omkhulu wenziwe malunga noku, u-Darren Palmer, intloko ye-Ford yezithuthi zombane, uthe ngexesha lomsitho wokumiliselwa ngoLwesine. Siqaphele ekuphononongeni iinkqubo ezithengiswayo ezinokudideka kancinci kubathengi.

Zombini izinto ezincedisa ukuqhuba zikaFord kunye noGM zixhomekeke kwisivalo (iradar esebenzisa ukukhanya endaweni yamaza erediyo) ebeka kwangaphambili imephu yonke indawo ekulindeleke ukuba imoto ihambe kuyo. Umqhubi unokukhetha indlela kule mephu kwaye aqondise imoto ukuba ihambe nayo. I-Autopilot kaTesla isebenza ngendlela eyahlukileyo ngokupheleleyo. Endaweni yokwenza iimephu zangaphambi kweendlela, uTesla usebenzisa iikhamera ezisibhozo ezimotweni ukubamba umbono we-360-degree ujikeleze isithuthi nangawuphi na umzuzu. Amaxesha okwenyani abanjelwe ezi khamera emva koko agqitywa ngoomatshini bokufunda ii-algorithms ukukhokela intshukumo.

UTesla ukhuphe ingxelo yakhe yokugqibela ye-Autopilot kwangoko kulo nyaka kwaye kuthiwa ukuqesha abaqhubi bovavanyo eAustin, eTexas yenguqulo elandelayo. I-GM's Super Cruise okwangoku ifumaneka kuphela kwiCadillac CT6. Umenzi weemoto uthe uceba ukwandisa isoftware iye kwizithuthi ezingama-22 ngo-2023, kubandakanya i-10 ngo-2021.

I-ADAS entsha yeFord iya kukhutshwa nakunyaka ozayo. Inkampani ithe ngoLwesine isahlulo sehardware senkqubo siya kufumaneka kamva kulo nyaka kwi-Mustang E-Mach SUV yombane yonke. Kodwa abaqhubi kuya kufuneka balinde kude kube ngunyaka ozayo ngenkqubo epheleleyo, eya kuthi ifumaneke kuzo zonke iinguqulelo ze-E-Mach kwaye ukhethe iimodeli ezintsha, ngokunokwenzeka kubandakanya i-F-150 ethandwayo I-CNET.
