Ford unmanned drone + self-driving car with package from now on off-road is no longer a problem

The self-driving car is constantly evolving, and within 10 years, it may enter the real world and open on the asphalt road. What if I leave the asphalt road?

Ford unmanned drone + self-driving car with package from now on off-road is no longer a problem

On this issue, Ford engineers are investigating that they have come up with a solution. The engineer developed a drone system. When we went on a cross-country adventure, we could use a drone to guide the self-driving car. We can use the drone to draw outside the scope of the UAV sensor detection.

Ford Technology Department spokesperson Alan Hall said: "At some point, we can drive a driverless car to the forest, go cross-country, and navigate with drones."

Hal also said that the idea stemmed from a brainstorming when engineers and researchers were working on driverless cars. Generally, the drone is parked in the car, and when the digital map is not enough, the drone will take off.

At the beginning of the year, Ford hosted a competition to allow competitors to train drones to complete their missions. The event was carried out in cooperation with Dajiang. The programmer can let the drone take off from the moving car and return. Only one success per 10 competitors. Hal said: "This is a cool challenge."

Next, Ford will work with the research team at the Palo Alto Research Center to develop future technologies to help driverless cars solve navigation problems.

Tony Lockwood, Ford's virtual driving systems division, said: "We remain open to new ideas and advanced mobile capabilities with emerging technologies."
