"Robo-taxis" to hit the road soon
Minster couldn't yet say how fast these "robo-taxis" will be, but thinks 60 km/h should not be a problem. "And with an increase in destinations we will see an increase in speed." The main aim, however, is traffic without accidents or emissions.
To ensure accident-free rides, radar, LIDAR or camera systems play an important role. They scan the nearby and more distant surroundings and send information on the condition of the road to the control units. "We need all three systems in autonomous driving in order to recognize persons or objects, regardless of whether they are immobile or in motion," says Minster.
