Hands off! How NASA is
helping us to develop
autonomous cars
Nissan is using technology designed to help robots avoid obstacles
and calculate safe paths on other planets in its driverless cars
D
riverless cars have moved a
step closer with the creation
of Seamless Autonomous
Mobility (SAM), which we
have developed using NASA
technology.
This major breakthrough
brings together vehicle technology and human
support to help autonomous vehicles navigate
unforeseen situations, such as accidents
or roadworks. It is based on the software
that NASA uses to enable its robots to avoid
obstacles and calculate safe paths on other
planets.
If an autonomous car came across an incident
which could be avoided only by crossing white
lines or ignoring traffic lights, it’s unlikely the
vehicle could decide what to do for itself. Now it
doesn’t have to.
With SAM, the autonomous vehicle will be able
to come to a safe stop and request help from
the command centre.
A mobility manager uses vehicle images and
sensor data to create a safe path around the
obstruction by ‘painting’ a virtual lane for the
vehicle to drive through.
Once clear, the vehicle resumes fully-
autonomous operations.
At the same time, SAM shares the information
with other autonomous vehicles in the area,
which means the mobility manager does not
need to resolve the same issue a second time.
SAM has major commercial benefits for fleets,
including delivery companies and taxi services.
It doesn’t remove people from the equation,
but uses them to support a larger system of
mobility and to help improve the vehicle’s ability
to manage complex scenarios in real-time.
