Field Auto, a venture company from Saitama Institute of Technology, cooperated with the nation's first multi-vehicle remote monitoring type autonomous driving public road experiment using 9G (5th generation mobile communication system) conducted in Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture on the 5th. bottom.Saitama Institute of Technology is epoch-making in that it was possible to operate multiple self-driving cars at a speed close to practical use by one person's remote control.
According to Saitama Institute of Technology, this demonstration experiment will utilize KDDI's 5G line to simultaneously run two self-driving vehicles that are remotely monitored and operated by one operator, and Aichi Prefecture will implement the self-driving car in society. It was carried out with an eye on it. This is the first time that multiple autonomous driving demonstration experiments have been conducted on public roads using 1G lines, and Field Auto was in charge of system monitoring of 2G remote-controlled autonomous vehicles.
While Hideaki Omura, the governor of Aichi Prefecture, and Masayasu Nakano, the mayor of Ichinomiya, were on the experimental vehicle, a car without a driver in the driver's seat was able to drive safely on public roads at a speed of about 30 km / h.It was expected in advance that high-speed, high-capacity, low-latency 5G lines would be useful for autonomous driving, but it has become a proof of that.
Field Auto was established in 2018 with the investment of Tier IV, an autonomous driving venture company from Nagoya University.It is the first autonomous driving venture in a private university in Japan to support Tier IV, which develops open-source autonomous driving software, and is continuing demonstration experiments of autonomous driving in various places such as Fukaya City, Saitama Prefecture, where Saitama Institute of Technology is located. ..
