Cars That Learn From Their Driving

Japanese technology is undoubtedly some of the finest in the world and many countries try to imitate their developments as they are so revolutionary.Their presence in the car markets have also been very powerful and Japan is renowned for producing high quality, reliable automobiles. They have now upped their game even further however by creating an integrated car system that uses ‘intelligent technology’, and it has already caught the eye of many off the car industries big hitters.

Microchips have been used in automobiles for a long time now, controlling such things as airbags, ABS and traction control among lots of other things.Cars have also advanced beyond the days when they could only tell you very simple things such as engine temperature and oil level. They could now report on tire pressures, chassis forces, MIL spec cables and even road surface conditions. The company in Japan known as Copal Electronics have taken the micro chip to the next level however and using new solenoids technology developed a car that can not only look after itself but can learn. If the car is driven around a corner in the wet at 30mph for example, and the rear wheels slide out, the car will note the road surface condition, speed, tire pressures, corning angle, weight of the car and many other factors and then make very subtle changes to things such as the circuit breakers sensitivity so that the same does not happen again.

Because the technology learns as soon as you start driving the car, it will become accustomed to different drivers techniques and habits and will even be able to preempt mistakes, claim the inventors. It is thought that the technology will be trialed in a few specialized cars first, but if the deals go through with the major manufactures, we could be seeing in the family salon before too long.
