LG has recently announced that it is going to team up with Mercedes-Benz to develop the technology for the forthcoming fleet of Mercedes-Benz self-driving cars.
So, it is pretty clear that the German automaker is going to utilize LG’s Advanced Driving Assistance System technology in its next-generation of self-driving vehicles which are currently in the works.
The ADAS technology is basically a stereo camera system which works much like the human eye to detect objects on the road ahead and spot potential dangers like the pedestrians and cyclists. And moreover, if any hazards are detected in front of the car that the driver has not picked up, then the vehicle will brake autonomously. This technology will surely add up to the safety features of the cars.
This system also ensures that the car keeps moving within the correct lane and dims the headlights in the face of oncoming traffic. Rather than being like the Google’s self-driving car which is completely independent, the Mercedes-Benz’ car will be a semi-autonomous one and this means that the driver will be able to transfer only some of the controls to the vehicle.
The biometric systems of LG are even going to monitor the eye movements and alertness, in order to protect against drivers falling asleep while driving the car. Added to the self-driving technology, LG is also going to provide the home entertainment and mobile technology systems in the cars.
In return to the efforts and technology of LG, Mercedes is going to license part of its 6D Vision technology back to LG to use with other automakers.
According to the sources, The Mercedes-Benz and LG prototype is set to be revealed at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show which has its kick-off planned on January 6 in Las Vegas.
