THE OUTPUT SYSTEM



The GOLD system (GOLD stands for Generic Obstacle and Lane

Detection) is the automatic driver of the ARGO vehicle. It is a softwaresystem -completely developed at the University of Parma- which is aimed at

detecting lane markings and localizing obstacles.

Its main peculiarity is that both functionalities share the same underlyingapproach (the Inverse Perspective Mapping geometrical transform).

Moreover the definition of "obstacle" that it uses is extremely general: itcan detect "generic" obstacles, namely anything raising up from the roadsurface.

OPEN PROBLEMS

It is very important to notice that not all problems related to automatic vehicle driving

that still remain to be solved are of technical nature: there are some aspects that must be

considered and carefully evaluated in the design of such systems.

First of all, prior toh

aving an automatic driving system sold and installed on acommercial vehicle, all the legal aspects related to the responsibility in case of faults and

incorrect behavior of the system must be solved. Secondly, in case no specific roads are

built and dedicated to automatic vehicles only, the possibility of driving on a motorway

along with automatic vehicles must be considered and its impact on human drivers

evaluated.

Althoug h technical aspects seem to have a hig her importance, these problems must be

dealt with and solved as well, since they represent the basics and prerequisites on w hich

future automatic hig hways will rely.



The research carried out worldwide on intelligent vehicles -after its first explorative stage- has now reached its

second stage: many different approaches have been evaluated during these years and the most promising ones

are being engineerized, installed on prototype vehicles, and extensively tested on the road.

However, a long period of exhaustive tests and refinement must precede the availability of these systems onthe general market, and a fully automated hig hway system with intelligent vehicles driving and exchanging

information is not expected for a couple of decades. For the time being, complete automation will be

restricted to special infrastructures such as industrial applications or public transportation. Then, automatic

vehicle technology will be gradually extended to other key transportation areas such as the transportation of

goods, for example on expensive trucks, w here the cost of an autopilot is negligible with respect to the cost

of the vehicle itself and the service it provides. Finally, once technology has been stabilised and after freezing

the most promising solutions and the best algorithms, a massive integration and a widespread use of such

systems will also take place with private vehicles, but this will not happen for another two or more decades.

So, it's a bit too early to be looking for autonomous vehicles in your automobile dealers' showrooms.
