Daimler took advantage of CES in Las Vegas to present his Mercedes-Benz F 015 electric and full of electronics, in which one is not obliged to use the steering wheel, or even looking at the road. The boss of the German automaker evokes a reinvention of the car, whose business horizon is, however, not for tomorrow.
What are you trying to tell us with this prototype? How will the way we use our cars to change?
We already talked autonomous cars before. We have shown that we can do and that we dominate technology. But now it is more than technology. We want to show to what goes mobility, and the two most important things we give to people, space and time. They can focus on what they want to do: to work, relax, do some video conferencing, sleep (...)
In addition to this, there is a safety issue. Autonomous cars will basically not an accident. All this put together gives a new definition of mobility is a reinvention of the car. This is also what we want to show the style of the vehicle.
Depending on your prototype, the future of the car is electric. Why not own another technology like the Toyota fuel cell?
A car fuel cell has an electric motor. The question is how it stores energy in the battery or with hydrogen transformed into a fuel cell (...). Currently, there is both a concept of vehicle with a hybrid fuel cell with a battery more. The electric car will be the future, it is operated with hydrogen or with the electric current from a battery.
Why have not we already have this kind of autonomous vehicles on our roads and what it will take to get there?
It is not possible to have such a car in normal traffic. It will come, but we will have to discuss with regulators what should be allowed and also what should be banned in the future.
To be exact, this car works, but not in all conditions. We need to work on snow conditions, night or humidity, to ensure that it will be absolutely reliable in any condition. It will take time.
We proceed in stages during this decade. In recent years, two or three years, we will have such approved cars to 120 km / h on a completely autonomous way highway, we will have a car park in automatic mode. Full autonomy, it will be for the next decade.
