How's it going everyone it's Gadgets Boy
and I'm here at Volvo Cars at the LA Auto Show
and I'm here to check out a couple of things
first, we're going to check out the future of infotainment systems with Google
and we're going to check out the future of autonomous cars, in terms of safety.
The next generation of Volvo cars will contain
a new version of the Sensus Infotainment System
powered by Google's Android operating system, which is also open source
here to talk to me more about it is Nisha from Google
- hey how's it going - you all right
so talk to me more about what this is all about
and the interface, what this empowers us to do in the future?
Right, so essentially we're going to be having these Volvo cars running Android natively
which means that out of the box users are going to have access to a head unit
that has offerings like maps, assistant, can play their music, can run the play store
and they can download whatever apps they would want to use in a car.
We're really excited to be offering these services
and seemlessly connecting the offerings with the car itself
so users are going to be able to use the assistant to check their fuel level
or navigate to their destination without having to take out their phone
and plug anything in or run any sort of app.
As we all know, safety is a very vital part of Volvo's DNA
and for self-driving vehicles safety is also very vital
so this is Luminar
Luminar uses LiDAR technology to detect cars, objects, people
up to 250 metres away making it a lot safer for us
so for self-driving vehicles it means they can see further than they already can.
I'm here with Billy from Luminar to tell me more about how this works
- Hi Billy - Hi, how's it going?
I'm good thank you, so tell me more about this LiDAR technology.
Yeah, absolutely, so we at Luminar build the world's highest fidelity LiDAR system
we build a high-fidelity 3D map of the environment
which lets you see all of the objects out in the field of view
even all the way out to 250 meters.
Amazing, so for consumers at home who are thinking about self-driving vehicles
how does this benefit them? How can they visualise this in the real word?
Yeah, absolutely, so I think the main difference is that we allow autonomous vehicles
to move from the streets of Silicon Valley top the everyday world.
So, out on the highways in places where otherwise
the rain, the fog, the snow might prohibit that from happening.
Sounds amazing, it looks like you guys are definitely thinking about safety
which is very important to me.
Absolutely, I'd say this is a shared vision of both of our companies. Safety first, absolutely.
So what you're looking at here is our three-dimensional map
this is what the self-driving car sees.
You're able to zoom around the field of view, move through objects and around them
see the cars in the booth over there
the "This is Not a Car" sculpture here in the middle of the Volvo booth
and we are right here on the screen.
And that's using the LiDAR?
This is all using the single LiDAR sensor we have in the rafters above.
