Today, nearly 700 different models of vehicles are produced in more than 3 factories in the world. Only 2 percent of these vehicles are electric. Recently, driverless autonomous systems that work with artificial intelligence and can control themselves with software have become increasingly widespread in the world. Among the global companies that develop and lead driving systems in this regard are; Tesla, Uber, Google, Mercedes, Toyota, BMW, Volvo, Audi, Nissan, Ford, GM, Honda, Bosch, Hyundai.
In the semi-autonomous system, the software in the vehicle can control both the steering, the brake and the gas, while in the full autonomous system, the vehicle software can directly control road, traffic and environmental conditions without the need for human factors.
In our country, the work of the Turkish engineers who fully AVL field important work on this issue and one of the largest automotive engineering companies in the world and Turkey, featured hybrid efforts in developing autonomous vehicle technology is making test autonomous driving.
Other autonomous vehicle technology development company FEV developed in cooperation with Turkey and Kodeco Otomod domestic driverless electric vehicles. Otomod, whose first trials have been conducted, is planned to be used in the near future to provide transportation for pedestrians in a short distance in areas such as universities, hospitals and airports. 4 passenger-capacity vehicles will accelerate to 45km / h.
FEV provides engineering services to automotive industry in the fields of design, simulation, engine / vehicle calibration, software development, hybrid and electric vehicles and autonomous driving systems. KODECO is developing light vehicles with energy-efficient and intelligent features.
We congratulate AVL Türkiye, FEV Türkiye and Kodeco companies and expect semi-autonomous and fully autonomous systems to be put into the field in our country as soon as possible.
