the Choice at last fell not by chance, firstly, there is active extraction of oil and gas, develops new fields, and the potential use of cars without drivers in a very harsh climate even impossible to estimate. And secondly, in the far North very low density of population in the Yamal Peninsula, for example, only one person in two and a half square kilometers, and hence the risk of accidents is minimal.
Now Yugra is preparing for the second phase of testing, last week the regional government has signed an agreement with one of the enterprises of oil on the responsibility of the parties, taking into account all possible nuances of the safety of this experiment. It is planned that a whole column of domestic heavy trucks, without drivers behind the wheel will be held thousands of miles on winter roads after a few months.
meanwhile, three months ago in the southern part of Priobskoe oil field have already experienced, like running on roads between the fields of unmanned electric vehicle GAZelle Next Electro. Artificial intelligence is loosely defined obstacles on the route, transport, pedestrians, animals. And depending on the driving situation the car or changed the trajectory and speed or temporarily stopped. Was checked and the reliability of the UAV with the remote control center.
Average speed during testing was 40 km per hour. Total mileage unmanned exceeded 90 km, the Electric car has successfully coped with all tasks in full compliance with traffic rules. As a result, the machine proved its efficiency when driving with stops along the route at distances up to 30 km.
All qualifying requirements the results of these experiments were aimed at the manufacturer. After necessary modifications the drone will be the second phase of testing.
according to the representatives of energy companies, the term equipment under control of artificial intelligence can take over most of logistic operations in the oil fields in Yugra.
But perhaps, the most impressive test drones were on the Yamal Peninsula, at the Eastern-Messoyakhskoye field.
the Picture as a sci-Fi movie. On the road were moving for each other a few Trucks, the cabins, no soul, and only the wheel was periodically moved, as if they were ruled by the invisible man. Machine there were a total of 2,500 kilometers.
And according to the participants of the experiment demonstrated the full potential of its digital resource. They are for a fraction of second to recognize obstacles on the road, predicted trajectory based on current traffic situation, exchanged information via duplicated communication system, and moved on specified routes with high accuracy.
Monitoring moving drones all the way across the tundra, winter roads, areas of oil – was carried out of the common control center. In addition, the column still should support the car with people.
As noted by the project participants, the main advantage of unmanned vehicles – unlimited health. Equipped with a system of Autonomous control of the machines do not get tired and not mistaken even on difficult routes, in low temperatures, snowstorms and poor visibility. In comparison with manned counterparts, unmanned heavy-50% more safe and allow 10-15% to reduce the cost of transportation. In other words, machine drones, never sleep, never get sick, and ready to work round the clock.
For such decisions the future, they will inevitably appear in a variety of industries. Those who were the first to implement drone technology in the coming years will be significantly ahead of the competition, – concluded the Governor of Yamal Dmitry Artyukhov.
an experiment on the use of unmanned vehicles in our country will continue until March 1, 2022. In addition to Ugra and Yamal participate in the Vladimir, Leningrad, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Novgorod and Samara regions and the Chuvash Republic, Krasnodar Krai, St. Petersburg. As well as Moscow and Tatarstan, where testing drones began two years ago.
In the capital, unmanned vehicles are tested mainly in the Ramenki district, in Michurinsky Avenue, South understudy Kutuzovsky and Komsomol prospectuses, as well as in the Central administrative district.
In Moscow on the roads your test development “Yandex” and the Moscow state automobile and road technical University, in Tatarstan, on the territory of the factory “KAMAZ”. The task of the developers – to carry out successful testing of equipment to gather data and develop hypotheses commercialization. The results of these experiments will determine the timing of the start of use of unmanned vehicles on public roads.
When designing systems with artificial intelligence developers throughout the world is an important task to consider the risks not only technological, but also legal and ethical. Here is just one example. Which of the two algorithms need to lay in a hypothetical situation when on the road before the car suddenly appears an old woman, and on the other hand is a little boy? That is, the problem of choice is that someone must inevitably suffer.
In real life the outcome of this configuration on the road depends on the individual physiological characteristics of the driver, his reactions, – in short, how the human brain works in et��th extreme situation. And as an intellectual system to solve this is obviously an unsolvable problem? Lay in the algorithm of the frequency behavior of drivers in these situations? Donate old lady? And who is at the mercy of give the solution to this problem, which in fact will render the fate of people. Individual team? And how then to be with the legal consequences of this traffic dilemma? Questions weight.
it is Indicative that experts Express different approaches to the principles of establishing responsibility for the actions of the AI. From a full exemption of anyone from liability, similar to force majeure. The responsibility of specific entities-the manufacturer, developer, owner, user, etc. And up to the personal responsibility of robots under the condition of granting them rights and obligations, the status of the e-personality. And yet the topic remains very controversial.
brings together disputing parties to a common understanding that when the mass use of unmanned vehicles the number of accidents on the roads, on the contrary, will fall sharply. Since artificial intelligence is not peculiar to the sick, distracted driving, alcohol, drugs, and just risk it without cause.
