TOMTOM IN TESLA!Bosch Australia video showcases ‘Highly Automated Driving’ system: interview
The Australian arm of technology specialist and automotive supplier Bosch has this week released a new video highlighting the features of its latest Highly Automated Driving (HAD) vehicle.
Shown to stakeholders and media, including CarAdvice, at October’s Intelligent Transport Systems World Congress, the Tesla Model S-based prototype is the fifth of its type revealed by Bosch – and the first to be developed in Australia.
Although the prototype is based on the all-electric Model S, Bosch has replaced Tesla’s driver-assistance Autopilot systems with its own advanced technologies.
The Bosch-developed upgrades include six radar and six LIDAR units, a stereo video camera, 13 new CAN (Controlled Area Network) computers and a further two kilometres of cabling beyond its existing Tesla-installed array.
All of this is matched to a GPS system and high-definition TomTom maps.
The project has benefited from a $1.2 million investment by the Victorian Government’s Transport Accident Commission (TAC), as part of a long-term campaign aimed at dramatically reducing the road toll and Australia’s $27 billion ‘road safety bill’.
