Google corporation in the next monthly report on the status of autopilot development admitted that it teaches its robocar turn 180 degrees for a minimum number of approaches, but at the same time trying to avoid going back to the abuse. For the driver, such preferences are more natural. First, it relies on the image from the rear view camera, mirrors and parking sensors without having a complete picture of what is happening behind the car. Second, forward passengers seems more natural, since they do not only see the road in front , but also suffer less from the effects of acceleration and deceleration in the vestibular system.
Automation allows you to perform not the easiest to maneuver a turn in cramped conditions with smaller clearances to obstacles, thus minimizing the number of "alternating" movements. Every week, on Google, prototypes robocar practice 1000 turns in the streets of American cities. On public roads in the United States is now "trained" 24 crossover Lexus RX 450h with specialized equipment and 34 compact prototype. In automatic mode, it completed more than three and a half million kilometers.
The twenty-sixth of October there was another minor road incident involving robocar Google. Preparing to perform a right turn on a street in Mountain View, it was the victim of a collision from behind. Own speed does not exceed 5 km / h at the time of the collision, the driver-controlled vehicle is moving back just a little faster.
Jaguar Land company Rover-like maneuver included in the list of those that will be automated in the near future. In the end, many production cars today are equipped with active parking assistance system.
