Emva konyaka "wokungabikho ngokomzimba", iNgqungquthela yeWebhu ibuyele kwisixeko saseLisbon kwaye asizange siphoswe ngumnxeba. Phakathi kwezihloko ezininzi ezixutyushwayo, kwakungekho ukunqongophala kwezo zihambelana nokuhamba kunye nemoto, kwaye ukuqhuba ngokuzimeleyo kwakufanelekile ukukhankanywa ngokukodwa.
Nangona kunjalo, ukulindela kunye nesithembiso se-100% yeemoto ezizimeleyo "ngomso", kunika indlela yendlela yokwenene yokuphunyezwa kwayo.
Into eyayibonakala kakhulu kwinkomfa "Singayenza njani into yokuba isithuthi esizimeleyo sibe yinyani?" (Singenza njani ukuba iphupha lokuziqhuba libe yinyani?) kunye no-Stan Boland, umseki kunye ne-CEO yenkampani enkulu ye-software yokuziqhuba yaseYurophu, i-Five.
Okumangalisayo kukuba, i-Boland yaqala ngokukhumbuza ukuba iinkqubo zokuqhuba ezizimeleyo "zinotyekelo kwiimpazamo" kwaye yiyo loo nto kuyimfuneko "ukuqeqesha" ukujongana nezona meko zahlukeneyo kunye nokusingqongileyo okuntsokothileyo kweendlela.
"Kwihlabathi lokwenyani" kunzima ngakumbi
Ngokombono we-CEO ye-Five, esona sizathu siphambili "sokucotha" okuthile ekuveleni kwezi nkqubo yayinzima yokubenza basebenze "kwihlabathi lenene". Ezi nkqubo, ngokuka-Boland, zisebenza ngokugqibeleleyo kwindawo elawulwayo, kodwa ukuzenza zisebenze ngokulinganayo kwiindlela “zehlabathi lokwenene” ezinombhodamo kufuna umsebenzi omninzi.Nguwuphi umsebenzi? Olu "qeqesho" lokulungiselela iinkqubo zokuqhuba ezizimeleyo ukuze zijongane neemeko ezininzi kangangoko kunokwenzeka.
"Iintlungu ezikhulayo" zezi nkqubo sele zikhokele imboni ukuba ilungelelanise. Ukuba ngo-2016, ekuphakameni kwengcamango yokuqhuba ngokuzimeleyo, kwakukho intetho "yokuziqhuba" ("Ukuziqhuba"), ngoku iinkampani zikhetha ukusebenzisa igama elithi "Automated Driving" ("Automated Driving"). .
Kwingqiqo yokuqala, imoto izimele ngokwenene kwaye iziqhubela ngokwayo, kunye nomqhubi engumkhweli nje; kwingqikelelo yesibini kunye neyangoku, umqhubi unendima esebenzayo ngakumbi, kunye nemoto ethatha ulawulo olupheleleyo lokuqhuba kuphela kwiimeko ezithile (umzekelo, kwindlela yemoto).
Uvavanye kakhulu okanye uvavanye kakuhle?
Nangona kukho indlela eyiyo yokuqhubela phambili ngokuzimeleyo, i-CEO ye-Five iyaqhubeka nokuzithemba kwiinkqubo ezivumela imoto ukuba "iqhube ngokwayo", inika umzekelo wamandla ale nkqubo zobuchwepheshe ezifana nokulawula i-cruise control okanye umncedisi wokulondoloza indlela yemoto.
Zombini ezi nkqubo zixhaphake kakhulu, zinabalandeli (abathengi abazimisele ukuhlawula ngaphezulu ukuze babe nazo) kwaye sele bekwazi ukoyisa imingeni ethile/iingxaki abanokujamelana nazo.
Ngokumalunga neenkqubo zokuqhuba ezizimeleyo ngokupheleleyo, uBoland ukhumbule ukuba ngaphezu kokufikelela kumawaka amaninzi (okanye izigidi) zeekhilomitha kuvavanyo, kubalulekile ukuba ezi nkqubo zivavanywe kwezona meko zihlukeneyo.
Ngamanye amazwi, akukho sizathu sokuvavanya i-100% yeemoto ezizimeleyo kwindlela enye, ukuba ayinazo itrafikhi kwaye ubukhulu becala yenziwe ngeendlela ezithe tye ngokubonakala kakuhle, nokuba amawaka eekhilomitha aqokelelwe kuvavanyo.
Xa kuthelekiswa, kunenzuzo enkulu ngakumbi ukuvavanya ezi nkqubo phakathi kwetrafikhi, apho kuya kufuneka bajongane neengxaki ezininzi.
Intsebenziswano ibalulekile
Eqonda ukuba kukho inxenye yoluntu oluzimiseleyo ukuhlawula ukusebenzisa iinkqubo zokuqhuba, uStan Boland ukhumbule ukuba okwangoku kubalulekile ukuba iinkampani zobugcisa kunye nabavelisi beemoto basebenzisane ukuba injongo kukwenza ezi nkqubo ziqhubeke nokuvela. .
Ngokombono wakhe, ukwazi iinkampani zeemoto (nokuba ziinkqubo zokuvelisa okanye kwiimvavanyo zokhuseleko) kubalulekile kwiinkampani ezikwicandelo letekhnoloji ukuba ziqhubeke nokuguqula ezi nkqubo ngendlela efanelekileyo.
Ngesi sizathu, iBoland yalatha intsebenziswano njengento ebalulekileyo kuwo omabini amacandelo, ngalo mzuzu apho “iinkampani zobuchwepheshe zifuna ukuba ziinkampani zeemoto ngokuphendululekileyo”.
Yeka ukuqhuba? Hayi ncma
Ekugqibeleni, xa ebuzwa ukuba ukukhula kweenkqubo zokuqhuba ezizimeleyo kunokukhokelela abantu ukuba bayeke ukuqhuba, uStan Boland wanikela impendulo efanele i-petrolhead: hayi, kuba ukuqhuba kumnandi kakhulu.
Ngaphandle koku, uyavuma ukuba abanye abantu banokukhokelela ekubeni balahle ilayisenisi, kodwa kuphela kwikamva elikude, njengoko kude kube ngoko kuyimfuneko "ukuvavanya kakhulu "kunesiqhelo" ukuqinisekisa ukuba imiba yokhuseleko lokuqhuba ngokuzimeleyo. zonke ziqinisekisiwe".
