Cars Without Drivers managed to cross the Italian-Chinese

An electric car without the driver managed to take a very long journey across Italy to China, a distance of about 8,000 miles or 12,874.75 km during 92 days.

This is a pilot project conducted by the European Research Council and make this car as a car without a driver who traveled the farthest.

Vehicles that start dispatched from Parma Italy on July 20, then it is equipped with solar-powered laser scanners and video cameras that work together to detect and avoid obstacles. This is part of an experiment that aims to improve road safety. Sensors had enabled them to navigate the car in all conditions.

"We do not know the route, I mean what will be on the road and we will find good roads, traffic jams, long traffic jam, traffic jams were, mad or regular driver. So we have a lot of things, "said Isabella Fredriga who is an engineer who participated in this study as detikOto quoted by the Daily Mail, Tuesday (11/09/2010).

Challenges growing for cars that participated in this study does not have a map. So the car should really seek their own goals through a system dubbed komputeryang Gold. This system analyzes various information from the sensors to then automatically adjust vehicle speed and direction.

But although the car is not equipped shaped van driver and a map, the car was carrying passengers to anticipate emergencies. The researchers who participated in this car had to intervene several times when the vehicle stuck in traffic jams Moscow and to pay the toll.

"The wheel steering is controlled by a PC. So the PC sends a command and move the steering wheel and turn and we can follow the path, follow the curve and avoid this obstacle, "said Alberto Broggi from Vislab at the University of Parma in Italy who became principal investigator for the project.

"The idea here is to make the long trip, on two continents different, in different countries, different weather, traffic conditions are different, different infrastructure. Then we can have some alternative situations to test the system, "he explained.

"There are some scary moment. Like when the vehicle crashed into a car that was in front of him and that's just because we forget. We stopped and we forgot to turn off the system," the story of Isabella Fredriga.
For this project, the European Research Council to have to spend up to 1.5 million pounds

Eden Project

The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in the United Kingdom, including the world's largest greenhouse.^[1][2] Inside the artificial biomes are plants that are collected from all around the world. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 kilometers (1.25 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 kilometres (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.^[3]

The complex is dominated by two enclosures consisting of adjoining domes that house plant species from around the world. Each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The domes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The first dome emulates a tropical environment, and the second a Mediterranean environment.

The project was conceived by Tim Smit and designed by architect Nicholas Grimshaw and engineering firm Anthony Hunt and Associates (now part of Sinclair Knight Merz). Davis Langdon carried out the project management, Sir Robert McAlpine and Alfred McAlpine^[4] did the construction and MERO designed and built the biomes. Land Use Consultants led the masterplan and landscape design. The project took 2½ years to construct and opened to the public on 17 March 2001.
