of electric cars entering our lives, driverless car experience is gaining in importance. This sector, in which Google took the first serious step, Tesla autonomous driving took it one step further. As of last year, many companies have started to test driverless cars for the future automobile technology. Judging by the latest figures, fully autonomous driving experiments have come a long way.
Tesla’s fastest car Model S Plaid broke the record!
Tesla Model S Plaid, one of Tesla’s fastest cars, broke the record by accelerating to 251 km / h in 8.94 seconds!
Driverless cars have traveled 6 million kilometers in California alone
Launched by Google in 2014 fully driverless car experiments began to bear fruit. The robotaxis initiative, which later became Waymo, is the most common sight on the streets of California. driverless car attempt. According to this Google’s self-driving car project Waymoin California this year. 3 million 700 traveled over a kilometer. As you know, Waymo is conducting its first robotaxis trials in San Francisco. However, it is unclear when these trials will take effect. Judging by the intensity of the tests, California may be the new destination for the Waymo robotaxis service.
After Waymo, other important robotaxis project Cruise followed this record. Accordingly, the ongoing project in cooperation with General Motors and Honda is located in California. 1 million 400 thousand kilometers traveled. These two important projects carried out 80 percent of the tests in the state.
Again, the two companies carried out most of their self-driving car tests in California. The Cruise robotaxis project is one step ahead of Waymo. Accordingly, the project began work last week to go public for the first time on the streets of San Francisco. Launching soon first robotaxis project expected to be.
After these two companies, it is the company that performs the most road tests. pony.ai was an attempt. Accordingly, the initiative 490 thousand traveled more than a kilometer.
Although projects that offer fully autonomous driving have come a long way, vehicles may become disabled during these roads. This failure rate is among the figures that reveal how successful the project is. According to this Waymo, thousand 609 kilometers so 1000 miles per 0.126 reported a deactivation. Accordingly, Waymo in total 292 times disabled. That’s a lot compared to the 21 shutdowns the company announced in 2020.
Cruise, on the other hand, is in a much better situation with its downtime. According to this robotaxis project It has a failure rate of 0.003 per 1,000 miles. In this sense, the project reported 20 downtimes.
