Ungabheki eduze ukuze ubone ukuthi izinzwa ezintsha ezifaka ama-Lexus SUV ophahleni zihlukile kunamamodeli wangaphambilini abonwa ezithombeni nakumavidiyo. Esimweni esinjalo uhlelo lwe-LIDAR lunzima kakhulu Futhi yehlukile kunaleyo abayisebenzise ezivivinyweni zokuqala kulezi zimoto.
I-LIDAR ichaze ngendlela elula futhi esheshayo kulabo abangazi, is isethi yezinzwa namakhamera ethola njalo / ithumele idatha futhi isize ikhompyutha ukuthi isebenzise ukushayela okuzimele kwemoto.
Le yividiyo eputshuke enetheni oyibonayo enye yalezi zinhlobo zeLexus ezisetshenziswa yi-Apple ngohlelo olusha lwe-LIDAR. Imininingwane yemoto uqobo ibalulekile futhi sibona amamodeli amasha we-2017 ale Lexus:
Kubonakala ngokusobala ukuthi ngaphambili kwemoto kunabantu ababili abahleli phansi futhi esinye sasohlangothini lomshayeli nesandla esiteringini, ngakho-ke singaqinisekisa ukuthi izivivinyo ezisemthethweni ngokuphelele ezinabantu abambalwa emotweni ngayinye. Kunengqondo ukucabanga ukuthi i-Apple ibisiphenya lobu buchwepheshe isikhathi eside kepha abafana baseCupertino bangaba igxathu elilodwa emuva komncintiswano futhi futhi kubonakala sengathi abajahi kule phrojekthi yeTitan umphathi wayo we-Apple uqobo ukuqinisekisile ukuba khona kwayo.
Kuphinde kwavinjelwa ngaphandle manje ukuthi i-Apple ibambe iqhaza ngokuphelele embonini yezimoto, kepha sisebenza kwisoftware engafakwa noma iyiphi imoto. I-Apple ayifuni ukwethula isoftware yokuqala efana ne-Apple Maps enezimbungulu eziningi, futhi ngenxa yalesi sizathu kufanele inakekele kakhulu imininingwane yephrojekthi ngakho-ke siqinisekile ukuthi ngeke kube yinto efika ngokushesha kepha kubonakala kucacile ukuthi ekugcineni izofika.
