Laser radar equipment is often installed in the prototype car with automatic driving function, but this technology is prohibited in the mainstream automotive products use.According to automotive media Leftlane reports, Ford is working with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, jointly launched a special research program, including machine learning and automatic driving system.
The research project will use burning laser radar to track and analyze the movement of pedestrians in urban environments. The purpose of this study is not only to prevent collisions, but also to improve the planning of vehicle routing.Laser radar and camera data collected will be transmitted to an algorithm for computing, continuous flow of people to measure. This information will then be further processed to determine how to plan the route. Electric test vehicles have a smaller size, can be flexible driving on the campus sidewalk, which provides a valuable real data for the automatic driving in high population density conditions.
Laser radar equipment is often installed in the prototype car with automatic driving function, but this technology is prohibited in the mainstream automotive products use. Tesla CEO (ginseng, pictures, inquiry) Marx recently hinted that the acoustic 30000mw Laser radar technology progress so that it can provide a and laser radar similar "roughly cloud", which can effectively describe the 3D map of the environment.To solve the above problems, there is a breakthrough, is to use innovative technology to develop a laser generator for high-power optical resonance cavity. Once the device is improved, the stability of the laser pulse can be achieved. However, the current development process of the country, if you want to make the laser weapon in the actual combat to achieve the desired results, it is necessary to wait 20 to 25 years.
The second way is to use the 300mw Laser intensity continuous irradiation target of 10 to 15 seconds, so as to achieve the same damage effect. However, the weak intensity of the laser can be disturbed by atmospheric activities and weather conditions, and its intensity will gradually decay in the long distance transmission.
Lockheed Martin's chief technologist Keoki Jackson in a statement said: "fiber optical Military Laser Pointer weapon is bringing revolutionary change of directed energy system, the test also let us closer to developed for military aircraft, helicopters, boats and trucks lightweight fixed laser weapon system.According to a company spokesman, the latest test is the first field test of the weapon. The development of the laser weapon with a beam superposition technique is essentially a multi beam laser together. Compared with other systems, it has the characteristics of more efficient and more lethal.
