AC #2019 – 自动驾驶将改变汽车设计，玛涅蒂马瑞利集成自动驾驶传感器，勒希林为传感器创建清洗系统

大家好，我是约翰•麦克罗伊，欢迎收看Autoline 中国，我们的节目将为您呈现汽车领域最重要最前沿的行业新技术。

海拉的创新车灯技术
供应商海拉公司展示了如何通过使用投影车前灯来保障骑自行车人的安全，同时该公司还提出了有关车灯系统的其它新概念。例如，车前灯可以将光柱投射到地面上，以提示驾驶员是否离前方车辆太近，或者在地面显示出理想路径。这项技术也可以在夜间，雨中或雪中对驾驶员有所帮助。这些新概念并不局限于车灯的照明功能。关掉车灯的一些部分会在光束中形成一条黑线，这可以让驾驶员注意到一些物体，比如站在路边的人。

哈曼展现其汽车技术
三星一直致力于跻身汽车行业，分析师认为这是为了减少其对智能手机业务的依赖。去年三星收购了哈曼国际，而现在我们将开始看到两者在这个新领域的成果。数字驾驶舱是一种独立的软件和硬件解决方案，它将信息娱乐和仪表盘组合成一个显示屏。它还拥有一个高级套件，可以为多达4个显示屏幕供电，其中包括汽车级QLED（量子点发光二极管显示器）。而其中非常亮眼的技术莫过于增强现实导航了。它用真实的图片和视频来取代传统的地图，然后将导航路线摆放在地图上。在自动驾驶模式下，乘客可以利用大型QLEDMoodroof来播放轻松的声音和视频。同时其形状可变的扬声器将非常适合乘坐共享应用。扬声器的锥体可以根据您想要听的音乐种类改变其深度，以此来改变声音。

MAGNETI MARELLI整合自动驾驶传感器
自动驾驶汽车仍处于发展的早期阶段。当我们看到它们时，有很多仍然具有奇怪的突起，突出于传感器本身之外，通常其主干布满了电脑和电线。但是Magneti Marelli有了一个关于如何整合它们的想法，使其不再可见。在他们的系统中，长距离雷达被安装在前格栅上，而短距离雷达则通过雾灯向下安装。摄像机和激光雷达被集成到大灯外壳中。在尾部，雷达，摄像机和激光雷达被集成到尾灯外壳中。这是一个巧妙的想法，这表明所有用于自动驾驶汽车的技术最终都将以我们甚至无法察觉的方式进行整合。

勒希林为传感器创造清洗系统
雷达，激光雷达和摄像机是自动驾驶汽车的关键部件，但如果它们被污垢或雨雪覆盖会如何呢？ 当然它们会失效。 因此，供应商勒希林公司提出了一种称为高级自主清洁系统的解决方案。它使用多达9个清洗喷嘴喷射清洗液，来清洗传感器的镜头，并利用使用电子设备自动确定需要清洁的镜头，调节每个部件上喷射的流体量。这可以确保流体容器使用尽可能长的时间。这个大水库还会通过加热来防止流体冻结。它也会在流体量过低时警告驾驶员。

接下来，我将和大家分享自动驾驶将如何影响汽车美学设计和工程设计。

自动驾驶技术将改变汽车设计
当全自动驾驶的汽车最终在路上行驶时，您将能够在自己的汽车中做任何您想做的事。这将改变汽车在美学和工程学上的设计方式。在一个自动化的世界里，性能将不再那么重要。 乘客不会在乎汽车能够加速多快，或者它可以多快转弯。相反，舒适性和便利性将是最重要的因素。简单如进出车辆的容易程度，都可能成为一种竞争优势。车辆的内部设计必须能够快速重新配置以适应不同的用途。电池，混合动力车和燃料电池等其他技术只会改变汽车的行驶方式。 但随着自动化技术的发展，我们将看到汽车使用方式的变化。

那今天的节目到这里就结束了。感谢您收看Autoline中国。

Hello, I’m John McElroy, welcome to Autoline China, the show that covers some of the most important new technologies in the automotive industry.

HELLA’S NEW LIGHTING SOLUTIONS
The supplier company Hella is showing how projection headlamps could help keep bike riders safe, and it’s also coming up with other new ideas for lighting systems. For example, the headlights could project bars of light on the ground to indicate you’re travelling too close to the car in front of you, or they could show the ideal road to take. This could be helpful at night, in rain or in snow. Not all ideas have to do with lighting something up. Turning off a portion of the light creates a dark line in the light beam that can point something out to the driver, like a person standing on the side of the road.

HARMAN SHOWS OFF AUTO TECHNOLOGY
Samsung has been making a big push to get into the automotive industry, which analysts say is a way to lessen its reliance on the smartphone business. Last year it purchased Harman International, and now we’re starting to see what the two are coming up with. The Digital Cockpit is a single software and hardware solution that sees the infotainment and cluster combined into one display. There’s also a premium package that can power up to 4 display screens, including automotive-grade QLED or Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diode displays. Here’s something pretty cool: Augmented Reality navigation. It gets rid of the traditional map and replaces it with real pictures and video, which then has the navigation route laid overtop of it. In autonomous mode, passengers could take advantage of a large QLED Moodroof that plays relaxing sounds and video. And shape-shifting speakers would be perfect for ride-sharing applications. The cone of the speaker changes depth and that changes the sound, depending on the kind of music you want to listen to.

MAGNETI MARELLI INTEGRATES AUTONOMOUS SENSORS
Autonomous cars are still in their early stages of development. And they look it. A lot of them still have weird protrusions sticking out of the body for the sensors, with the trunks typically jammed full of computers and wires. But Magneti Marelli has ideas on how to integrate it all so it’s not visible. With their system, long range radar gets mounted high on the front grille, while short range radars are mounted down low with the fog lamps. Video cameras and LIDAR are integrated into the headlight housings. At the rear, radar, video cameras and LIDAR are integrated into the taillight housings. It’s a clever idea and suggests that all the technology for autonomous cars will ultimately be integrated in ways that we won’t even notice.

ROCHLING CREATES WASHER SYSTEM FOR SENSORS
But while radar, Lidar and video cameras are critical components for autonomous cars, what if they get covered with dirt, snow or even rain? Then they’re useless. So the supplier company Rochling has come up with a solution, called the Advanced Active Cleaning System. It uses up to 9 washer nozzles that spray a cleaning fluid to wash the lens of a sensor. It uses electronics to automatically determine which lens needs cleaning and regulates how much fluid is sprayed on each part. That makes sure the tank lasts as long as possible. It is a large reservoir, and it’s heated to prevent the fluid from freezing. It will also warn you when it’s getting low.

Coming up next, I’ll share my thoughts on how autonomy is going to impact car design and engineering.

AUTONOMY WILL CHANGE CAR DESIGN
When fully autonomous cars finally hit the road, you’re going to be able to do whatever you want in your car. And that is going to change how cars get designed and engineered. In an autonomous world, performance will not be very important. Passengers will not care how fast a car can accelerate, or how fast it can go through turns. Instead, comfort and convenience will be the most important factors. Something as simple as how easy it is to get in and out of a vehicle could turn out to be a competitive advantage. The interiors of vehicles will have to be designed so they can be quickly reconfigured for different uses. Other technologies like batteries, hybrids and fuel cells only change the way a car moves. But with autonomous technology we’re going to see changes in the way that cars get used.

But that wraps up today’s report, thank you for watching Autoline China.
