The most advanced ADAS systems you can currently buy


The future of transport may revolve around autonomous technology, but cars that no longer need drivers are still a few years away. In the meantime, there are plenty of amazing ADAS systems out there, letting you hand over control to your car when necessary. We take a look at some of the best.

BMW Remote Control Parking

Yet to be convinced about sitting in a car that drives itself? You don’t even need to be inside the latest BMW 5 and 7 Series models to watch them park themselves, thanks to BMW’s Remote Control Parking feature. The feature is controlled by the key, and uses Park Distance Control and a host of sensors to monitor what’s going on around the car. Once it’s parked itself, you can even switch the engine off from outside, meaning you’ll be able to watch your BMW park in an almost impossibly tight space without worrying about how you’re actually going to get out of the door.

Tesla Autopilot

While most automakers have been quietly developing autonomous technology behind closed doors and away from the public, Tesla has taken a completely different approach, handing over testing of its advanced ADAS systems to Tesla owners. That means owners have been able to let their cars steer themselves in certain situations using Tesla’s Autopilot system, and it’s just got a whole lot smarter. Older systems, stretching back to 2014, used a single camera and array of sensors for visibility, but the latest version of Autopilot packs in eight cameras, 360-degree visibility and a radar system with enhanced processing to help the car ‘see’ in rain, fog and other more limited conditions. New Model S, Model X and the upcoming Model 3 cars will get Nvidia’s latest Drive PX2 CPU, which offers processing power that’s a claimed 40 times faster than previous technology.

Ford Evasive Steering Assist

You don’t need to opt for a premium car manufacturer to get your hands on high-tech ADAS features, either, with Ford offering a huge array of tech with more family-focussed and affordable vehicles. There’s Evasive Steering Assist, for starters, and as the name hints it’s capable of helping you to steer and avoid crashes, thanks to the inclusion of radar and a camera that can detect slower moving vehicles or objects and determine whether a collision is imminent. You’ll still need to start the avoidance process, so your car won’t simply start heading off in a different direction, but it will help to give you a helping hand in keeping the car stable and helping you to steer when you need it most.

Audi Side Assist

Audi also has some exciting ADAS offerings for 2017, with the latest A4 using both lane keep assist technology and adaptive cruise control to help take the stress out of driving on motorways and dual carriageways. When you do take control of the car, there’s blind spot monitoring in the form of Side Assist to ensure you don’t make an unsafe manoeuvre, and it’s smarter than most systems. Along with sensors to monitor the vehicles in the immediate vicinity, Audi has also included a camera capable of checking up to 70 metres behind you, and as a result you’ll be able to get warnings of upcoming vehicles you may have missed along with those already in your blind spots.

Range Rover

The latest Range Rover is absolutely packed to the hilt with ADAS features, ranging from Lane Keep Assist and adaptive cruise control, capable of braking and speeding up again in traffic, to autonomous emergency braking and Park Assist. JLR’s parking system is capable of carrying out both parallel and perpendicular parking and while a lot of parking systems still leave you to worry about getting out of the space, the latest Range Rover can also carry out this manoeuvre by itself, too. There’s even a surround camera system that offers a 360-degree view to help you negotiate tight spaces.

MediaTek adds HERE Network Positioning on its chipsets


In today’s highly connected world, the expectation that your devices will instantly locate your exact position, no matter where you are, is higher than ever before.

HERE positioning technology can determine the position of any device anywhere in the world, quickly and accurately, indoors as well as outdoors and even offline, which is opening doors for businesses worldwide.
HERE is already providing positioning services to several device manufacturers and solution providers, and now MediaTek, a Taiwanese fabless semiconductor company and one of the world’s largest providers of system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for wireless communications, is offering HERE Network Positioning on the MT2503 family to customers that ship products overseas from China. One of MediaTek’s major IoT customers, 3G Electronics (3GE), is already using chipsets that use HERE’s solution in its KidsWatch series of smartwatches sold outside China.

Fast and accurate global positioning technology

HERE Network Positioning uses proprietary technology to quickly and accurately determine a device’s location based on mobile network and Wi-Fi signals. It’s a crucial component of the connected experience and the HERE database improves positioning accuracy significantly.
Wherever you are, HERE can enable a device to locate your position to within a few meters, and even the floor you’re on within a multi-story building. Working with MediaTek, we can help to introduce millions of people to new technologies for products around the globe.

How HERE Network Positioning works

Most of today’s smart devices use what are known as Assisted GNSS services, which compile position information obtained over an Internet connection with satellite services to locate the device’s position. Network positioning technology goes one step further – it uses the device’s built-in appetite for signals and networks to locate its position.
HERE positioning services use the HERE global database of hundreds of millions of cellular towers and Wi-Fi hotspots to see which are available. By knowing which signals are in range, the device can figure out exactly where it is.

Never lose your bearings

HERE Network Positioning compiles this information and turns it into an ever-growing “radio map”, a subset of which can be preloaded in the device and provide the service offline.
Since the technology uses the existing measurement technology of connected devices, network positioning re-uses the signals already obtained, meaning additional battery power isn’t needed.

The future of mobility, according to car users

Autonomous cars will make travel a lot safer and easier than it is at present. There’s also a huge opportunity for carmakers, old and new, to create products and services that meet people’s end-to-end mobility needs.

One way to think about our self-driving future is to divide the likely new offerings into either autonomous Car-as-a-Service (CaaS) or autonomous Car-as-a-Product (CaaP). Both together are envisaged as parts of our future mobility mix.
Autonomous CaaP is an autonomous vehicle you would own. In recent HERE research with car users in the US and Germany (also explored here and here), people imagined they’d use these vehicles in much the same way as existing privately owned cars. The top expected uses (in order) were: commuting and the school-run, visiting friends and family, shopping, holidays and trips, and for evenings out.
Autonomous CaaS may sound like a strange new thing from the future, but we’ve had Cars-as-a-Service for a very long time, in the form of taxis, now joined by various other technologically enhanced car-sharing and ride-sharing models. When they become self-driving, the most-expected uses are very similar: commuting and school-runs, evenings out, holidays and trips, shopping and then travel to airports and train stations.

How we will change

The switch to autonomous vehicles will be gradual, of course, but 58 percent of respondents thought autonomous CaaP would potentially replace their privately owned ‘manual’ vehicle, and to a lesser extent, also existing taxi, company car, public transport and ride-sharing options. When it comes to autonomous CaaS, people again thought that privately owned vehicles would be the main transport mode to be replaced, followed by taxis, company cars, public transport and ride sharing.
Click on the image to download this infographic in PDF format
So, the profile of mobility and the nature of our roads is very likely to change significantly. Currently, most people in the US and Germany use personal or company vehicles, along with ride-sharing, to get around. In the future, 42 percent of Americans and 39 percent of Germans said they thought they’d be using either autonomous CaaP or CaaS instead.
Partly autonomous cars are expected to be available for purchase by as early as 2020, according to public statements from carmakers. These initial offerings are expected to be at SAE Level 3, where human drivers will mostly be hands-free, but able and expected to intervene at some points. (The scale goes up to Level 5, described as ‘full automation’). Initially, they may be ultra-premium vehicles, but as with every other technological improvement, they will eventually become standard fit solutions.

No need to wait

The level of autonomy achieved, and also the level of adoption, will significantly change our roads for the better. ADAS features already available today have been proven to reduce the number of accidents and increase traffic efficiency. Subaru, for example, recently released data showing that vehicles fitted with its EyeSight technology (a combination of different ADAS features) were 60 percent less likely to be involved in accidents than those without the technology.
The benefits of automation are already arriving, in other words: we won’t have to wait the 20-50 years until autonomous cars are expected to become universal, though the benefits will increase and accelerate over time.
Whether delivered as CaaS or CaaP, autonomous vehicles will yield these positive results. However, carmakers and others hoping to exploit this opportunity should remain aware that people like to be able to have choices and that new modes need to fit as seamlessly as possible with their requirements to attract adoption. Manufacturers who strategically aim to deliver both autonomous CaaS and CaaP offerings will be able to meet more people’s demands for future mobility.

Οδηγίες Χρήσης του HERE WeGo στο Samsung Gear S3







We launched HERE WeGo for the Samsung Gear S3 towards the end of 2016, offering simple directions for both pedestrians and drivers. Read on to find out how to set up and get the most out of HERE WeGo for the Gear S3.

1
The latest version of HERE WeGo for the Gear S3 provides comprehensive navigation on the move, and it even caches map details so searches and information can be retrieved quicker using less data.
You’ll need to sync the Gear S3 with your Samsung smartphone to get started, and you’ll also need your phone nearby for navigation itself, as the wearable currently depends on a Bluetooth connection to your smartphone for a precise GPS fix.
If you haven’t already paired your Gear S3, tap the settings option and pick new phone. The watch will perform a light reset, clearing any stored information and preparing it for a new connection. Using your smartphone, download and install the Gear Manager app, and once you’ve opened the app, pick ‘Connect New Gear’ and select the Gear S3 from the list of devices. Confirm the pairing codes to proceed.
2
As soon as you’ve hooked up your Gear S3 to your Samsung smartphone, you’ll be able to use your smartphone to search for HERE WeGo in the Samsung app store. Tap to download the app, and it’ll automatically download and install on your Gear S3. You can even press open on your phone once it’s downloaded, with the app then opening automatically on your smartwatch for the first time.
You can also open HERE WeGo by scrolling through the applications using the control bezel on your Samsung Gear. Once you’ve opened HERE WeGo, you’ll see a circular map highlighting your location. You can pinch to zoom, and you can also zoom in and out using the bezel.
3
Press the route icon at the bottom of the display to bring up the search screen. Tapping the display lets you enter the destination using a small but usable T9 keypad, and you’ll be offered different types of navigation. You can currently pick walking or driving options, and the app will display estimated arrival times for each.
If the idea of typing out the destination on a small alphanumeric keypad fills you with dread, you can also tell the Gear S3 where you want to go. From the search screen, rotate the bezel to switch through different search options until you see the voice control page. Your Gear S3 is listening, so simply tell it where you want to go.
Once you’ve picked a destination and told the watch whether you’re walking or driving, the Gear S3 offers an overview of the route, showing a small map. Tap the button at the bottom of the screen to start the navigation.
4
Keeping things as simple as possible, and not wanting to overcrowd the compact display or prove too distracting for drivers, HERE WeGo for the Gear S3 provides turn by turn navigation in the form of a series of directions and large arrows. All you have to do is turn when the watch tells you to, with a simple glance telling you all you need to know.
Swipe to the right or press the back button on the Gear S3 to stop the navigation, and the app will switch back to map mode.
The next time you use the app, you’ll also see your previous destinations highlighted in the search function, making it a lot quicker to get home or to favoured destinations in future. And that’s all you need to know to get fast and easy navigation at a glance, without ever having to remove your phone from your pocket or use your hands along the way.
Wanting to offer the best possible navigation experience for wearables, we’re looking at extending the features of HERE WeGo for the Gear S3. We are also looking into the possibility of adding offline navigation to the app because we believe that wearables are really powerful if they take you wherever you want to go.

Intel is HERE’s new investor and partner on autonomous cars and IoT tech

Fresh from announcing Navinfo, Tencent and GIC as new shareholders last week, HERE today welcomes global technology leader Intel as a new investor in the company.

In conjunction with its purchase of a 15% stake in HERE from Audi, BMW and Daimler, Intel will also collaborate with us to further its efforts in autonomous driving and to build location services that can fuel the continued growth of cloud computing and the Internet of Things.
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2017, after obtaining regulatory approvals.

Advanced in-vehicle computing

real-time, self-healing and high definition representation of the physical world is critical for autonomous driving, and achieving this will require significantly more capable in-vehicle computational power.
As a premier silicon provider, Intel can help accelerate our ambitions in this area by supporting the creation of a universal, always up-to-date digital location platform that spans the vehicle, the cloud and everything else connected.

Always up-to-date HD maps for cars

In our automotive collaboration with Intel we plan to jointly research and develop a highly scalable proof-of-concept architecture that supports real-time updates of high definition (HD) maps for highly and fully automated driving.
The architecture will be designed to help make autonomous driving as safe and predictable as possible and it will enable services such as HERE HD Live Map. Intel will also work with Audi, BMW and Daimler to test the architecture.
By working with Intel, we aim to offer automakers a universal technology solution that reduces both complexity and long-term development costs. Intel also provides expertise in developing and optimizing hardware, which will be fundamental to moving cloud-based algorithms to in-vehicle architectures.

Internet of Things

This same expertise will support our strategy to connect multiple industries beyond automotive, such as in Internet of Things where location algorithms and location-based services are increasingly becoming embedded into connected devices. Together with Intel, we intend to explore other potential collaborative opportunities spanning next-generation cloud analytics, IoT applications, machine learning, augmented reality and more.
