Suara.com - Volvo's self-driving car was apparently unable to detect kangaroos, because the way the native Australian animal jumps confused its system, the Swedish carmaker admits.Volvo's "Large Animal Detection" system can detect and avoid deer or other large animals, but in tests in Australia it failed to detect kangaroos moving in a unique way.Volvo Russia director Kevin McCann said the problem was part of the development and testing process of self-driving technology.So it's no big deal for Volvo's self-driving cars, which are scheduled to be available in 2020. McCann said that all companies developing self-driving cars will surely experience the same and will learn from that experience to improve their technological capabilities."We brought our engineers to Australia to collect data on how kangaroos move and study the animal's behavior, so computers can better understand it," he explained.Previously, Volvo Australia's engineering manager, David Pickett, said that his party had encountered problems in testing the self-driving car system because the object detection technology on the car was still using the ground as a reference point.This means that when the kangaroo jumps, the radar system and sensors on the Volvo self-driving car are unable to detect how far or how close the animal is to the car."When the kangaroo is in the air, it appears to be very far away. But when it returns to the ground, it is detected closer," said Pickett.Volvo's own self-driving system was designed in Sweden.In this system, it has been tested to overcome obstacles in nature, including when dealing with deer.But when tested in a national park in Canberra, Australia, Volvo's self-driving technology apparently couldn't detect kangaroos.The problem is, kangaroos are one of the main triggers for traffic accidents in Australia.(The Guardians)It's also a shame if you become a motorcycle owner if you know the cause is just like this.The service fee bill after the Honda Scoopy caught fire made me gawk.Maybe the performer was too happy, so he didn't realize that he had bumped into the Yamaha Mio that was on boardThis is the sexy portrait of Wika Salim when he is riding a motorbike, making the public salfok.Even though he is no longer young, Dani Pedrosa's ability cannot be underestimatedRizky Billar's car makes you curious, check out the collection.Get the latest and greatest information sent directly to your Inbox© 2022 Suara.com - All Rights Reserved.
