If there is any characteristic of Elon Musk, in addition to the unrecognizable ambitions and the frequent jams when speaking at the press conference, I like to skip tickets. The time points he set himself were basically not able to be settled on time, and almost all of them had to go back later.
Last week, Musk announced on Twitter that Tesla will release a "new product that is unexpected by most" on Monday. As a result, when the scheduled time is coming, he suddenly announced that "we haven't done it yet," and everyone will see you on Wednesday!
So, we finally saw this "new product" - Full Self-Driving Hardware - a few hours ago.
Confidence in multiple upgrades to Tesla's "full autopilot" Considering the controversy over auto-driving technology in the past six months, Tesla's launch of this so-called "fully automated hardware" product is not bold, it can even be said to be "The big deal is against the world."
Tesla gives specific product details and related technical components in its official blog. Let's take a look at Tesla's confidence in what it is:
· 8 surround cameras provide 360° viewing angles up to 250 meters;
· 12 upgraded ultrasonic sensors with twice the monitoring distance of the previous generation system;
· Enhanced forward-looking radar that can help in harsh environments such as smog and rain;
· More powerful in-vehicle computing system, NVidia provides GPU chip, its computing power is up to 40 times that of the previous generation version, running the neural network developed by Tesla itself;
According to its own statement, Model S and Model X equipped with this new hardware are already in production, and if you want, you can place an order now. However, since the cost of this new hardware system will be $8,000, it may increase the price of the product.
Of course, this new feature won't be available right away. Even if you buy a new Model X now, you can't fully use the autopilot mode yet. Tesla says he still needs to "make millions of miles in the real world." The distance to calibrate this new system."
The level of automatic driving is up to the highest standard. Is this a great achievement or is it a satellite? Musk himself said that the hardware already has the "level 5 automatic driving ability", if it is true, this will be a huge improvement.
Automated driving technology has a grading standard internationally. The US Department of Transportation has chosen the Society of AutomoTIve Engineers standard. Its main contents are:
· Level 0: No automatic driving, the human driver has full control of the car, can be assisted by the warning or intervention system;
· Level 1: Driving support, providing driving support for one of the steering wheel and acceleration/deceleration through the driving environment, and other driving actions are performed by the human driver;
• Level 2: Partially automated, providing driving support for multiple operations in the steering wheel and acceleration and deceleration through the driving environment. Other driving actions are performed by human drivers.
· Level 3: conditional automation, all driving operations are performed by the automatic driving system. According to system requirements, human drivers need to provide a response when appropriate.
• Level 4: Highly automated, all driving operations are performed by an automated driving system. Depending on system requirements, human drivers do not necessarily need to respond to all system requests, limiting road and environmental conditions.
• Level 5: Fully automated, all driving operations can be performed autonomously by the autonomous driving system under all road and environmental conditions that human drivers can handle.
Prior to this, existing auto and Internet manufacturers mostly focused on the second or third level in autonomous driving technology. For example, the previous generation of Tesla systems in addition to car accidents in the past few months allowed the driver's hands to leave the steering wheel for a short time, but you also need to put them back to get control. Therefore, Musk’s claim to jump directly from Level 3 to Level 5 is undoubtedly a bit of a concern: Is this another “satellite�
However, due to the lack of more actual data and materials, it is still necessary to know the actual level of the so-called "Level 5". But before that, I believe that most of us ordinary people are afraid to take a cautious attitude.
Safety is twice that of human driving, but we are not responsible for the accident. In addition, Musk himself expressed some opinions on related issues in the subsequent Q&A session, and there are quite a few things to watch.
1. If Tesla's self-driving car has an accident, will Tesla be legally responsible? Or will there be a "compensation plan"?
A: No, unless it can be proved that the software itself has an error.
2. How safe is this new autonomous driving technology?
A: According to current tests, it is at least twice as safe as human driving.
3. How to evaluate the last accident?
A: The media has put too much attention on inappropriate places in the accident. There are 1.2 million people who die every year from human traffic accidents. The automatic driving technology is very safe. In fact, all the actions that prevent us from taking autonomous cars are "killing."
Of course, from these questions and answers, we have always found Musk full of confidence, he is always not critical of his products. However, there are of course some vague places in this, such as legal liability. Although Musk himself stressed that he should judge the responsibility of the accident based on the full investigation results, how can he judge whether the driver's own judgment is wrong or the driving system is wrong? All this requires more research and cooperation from government departments and these depots.
However, as always, Musk made a time commitment at the end: he will make a show with a fully self-driving car on the way from Los Angeles to New York before the end of next year. At that time, we may be able to judge whether we dare to buy his products.
So, it is estimated that we will not see his demo in 2017, or wait until 2018.
19mm Key Switches
19mm key switches, ie, key switch lock, is gradually increase market share with its Diverse functions, accurate operation and Wide range of applications
This 19mm key switches could have 3 position key switch, 4 Position key Switch, which means it could have stronger power to support industrial and other bigger equipment. The exclusive technology of reset functions, multi-position rotation angles are not available in all walks of life,only we can have the technique to realize these.
As for the quality, this 19mm key switches have via UL authentication. In terms of green environmental protection, we adhere to the concept of sustainable development from the procurement of raw materials to the shipment of finished products. Meanwhile, we have professional environmentalist in charging of the whole production system, ROHS environmental protection providing PPAP report for our customers.
At present, our company's power key switches matching detection equipment is roughly as follows:ROHS testing machine, projector, life testing machine, push-pull testing machine, secondary element microscope, power testing machine, salt spray testing machine, etc.
With a sound quality control system and reliable detection equipment, we has created a globally reliable power key switch and has become a trusted producer of electrical key switches.
