The self-learning car will also be able to learn an individual’s driving style in a variety of traffic conditions and on diverse types of road. When the driver activates Auto Adaptive Cruise Control (AACC) the car will be able to be valid to these learned distance configurations and acceleration profiles and pertain them to automated cruise control.
“By developing a learning function for Adaptive Cruise Control, it is technology concepts like the self-learning car that will ensure any future intelligent car remains fun and rewarding to drive as we move closer to more autonomous driving over the next 10 years,” added Dr Epple. “This is important because in the future customers will still want an emotional connection and a thrilling drive – with the ability to drive autonomously when required.”
The modified experience would also not be restricted to the car owned by the driver. If you hire an intelligent Jaguar or Land Rover in the future, the car will distinguish the driver and passengers and offer them the same first choices as learned by their vehicle at home.
Some of the features built-in in the Self-Learning Car concept:
- Vehicle Personalisation– climate, seat, steering wheel, mirrors and infotainment settings.
- Destination Prediction– automatic destination entry to navigation system founded on historical usage.
- Fuel Assist– recommends fuel stations which have the driver’s preferred brand and location, based on historical usage. The car will let you know if you have adequate fuel before long journeys the day before you travel.
- Predictive Phone Call– forecasts who you are probable to call in an assured situation.
- Passenger Awareness– will set in motion passenger favored infotainment settings and personal climate zones.
- Intelligent Notifications– rooted in traffic situation, the car can aware people that you will be late or provide significant related updates such as flight holdups on your drive to the airport.
