Field Auto, a venture company from Saitama Institute of Technology, participated in a public road driving demonstration experiment of autonomous driving compatible vehicles conducted by Sompo Japan Nipponkoa in Tokyo in September.We gained new knowledge and experience by conducting Level 9 autonomous driving on public roads and remote monitoring of multiple autonomous vehicles.
According to Saitama Institute of Technology, level 3 automatic driving on public roads was carried out on the Ome Kaido, which is about 1.5 km from Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo to Nakano-Sakaue, Nakano-ku.At automatic driving level 3, the automatic driving system operates the accelerator, brakes, and steering wheel, and the driver responds at the request of the system in an emergency.
Field Auto has improved the ability to adjust the distance to obstacles such as vehicles in front and parking gates according to speed, road slope, and curve curvature, and participated in platooning as one of four autonomous driving vehicles. ..
In addition to conducting an autonomous driving experiment at an underground parking lot in Nishi-Shinjuku by remote control from Nakano-Sakaue, we also participated in the first demonstration experiment in Japan to remotely monitor multiple autonomous vehicles at the same time.
Field Auto is a venture company from Saitama Institute of Technology, which was established in June with the investment of Tier IV, an autonomous driving venture.In the future, we will support the development of Tier IV's autonomous driving software by making use of the experience and know-how gained in this demonstration experiment and the experiment conducted at Saitama Institute of Technology.
Saitama Institute of Technology has participated in a large-scale demonstration experiment of automatic driving conducted by the Council for Science, Technology and Innovation of the Cabinet Office since 2017, and is proceeding with public road experiments around Odaiba. There is.
