Tets drive Hyundai develops intelligent cruise control
The Korean concern does not include fully autonomous control in the new system
Hyundai Motor Group has developed the world's first machine learning-based intelligent cruise control (SCC-ML). Going from conventional cruise control (just maintaining speed) to adaptive (maintaining the optimal distance with acceleration and deceleration) is certainly considered progress, but not everyone likes it. In the end, by turning on the adaptive cruise control, you will get a car that works as planned in the program. This is the key difference of SCC-ML - it drives the car as if it were driven by a specific driver in the proposed circumstances.
The Koreans attribute a full-fledged autopilot not to the new system, but to the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), but they claim autonomous control of level 2,5.
The SCC-ML uses a variety of sensors, a front camera and radar to collect information.
The SCC-ML system uses machine learning algorithms to study driver habits and typical patterns of behavior in certain driving situations during daily travel. The computer monitors how a person drives a car in heavy traffic conditions, as well as on free, low, medium and high speed sections of the route. What distance does he prefer to the car in front, what is the acceleration and reaction time (how quickly his speed changes in response to changes in the speed of his neighbors). This information, collected by many sensors, is constantly updated and updated.
Hyundai has announced that it will be rolling out the SCC-ML to new models, without specifying names or timing.
The algorithm has built-in protection, which excludes training in a dangerous driving style. Otherwise, when a person activates the SCC-ML, the electronics will mimic the owner. According to the engineers, this should be perceived by the driver as more comfortable and stable behavior of the car than in the case of the current adaptive cruise control. The new automation will be able to perceive not only acceleration and deceleration, but also lane movement and automatic lane change. This will be managed by the Highway Driving Assistance system in conjunction with the SCC-ML, which will be introduced in the near future.
