| It's been the stuff of science fiction for decades - but the self-driving car of the future is here today. A real-life driverless family car - which will steer itself around pedestrians and other cars and brake to avoid an accident yet looks completely normal - has been unveiled at the Science Museum in London.
The car has laser sensors that act as "eyes" linked to an intelligent computer brain controlling its movements and has designed to cope with frenetic inner-city driving. These eyes are placed at the front and at the back, giving the car all-round vision. The laser-scanner eyes feed the electronic data of what they "see" around them into an on-board "black-box" computer. This is linked to satellite navigation software and maps out a picture of the car's surroundings in a 200 yard radius - including road conditions, buildings, other vehicles and pedestrians. Scanning the road ahead - and behind - it can brake, accelerate, change gear and steer itself around rush hour traffic and obstacles - even reversing to get out of a tight spot. The car obeys the rules of the road and can detect stop junctions from the road markings. Some sophisticated satellite-navigation systems already flag up the speed limit road by road. The laser-technology and software has been developed by German laser technology company Ibeo Automobile Sensor, based in Hamburg. The hi-tech equipment has been put so unobtrusively into a standard 125mph VW Passat 2.0 TDI estate that onlookers will notice little or no difference from the standard model. Ibeo spokeswoman Karen Tippkotter said:"This is no longer science fiction, it's science fact. Our car is fitted with special laser scanners that can read the road ahead and take the appropriate action. Much of the technology in this car will be available in standard cars within a couple of years. it will be up to Governments to decide whether the cars will be legally allowed to be driverless. But the technology exists now to do it." The scanners also detect road markings and tell whether a car is leaving the lane, apply the brakes if a car suddenly moves in front, and hits the accelerator if the road ahead is clear. It can do an emergency stop if a pedestrian steps into the road and will drive around parked cars. It is a short step to linking the technology to sat-nav systems that highlight speed-cameras, but Miss Tippkotter said: "At the moment they won't hit the brakes to avoid a speed camera or warn you that a parking warden is approaching. But maybe that's something we should work on." She said her company Ibeo was already in advanced talks with major international car makers such as Volkswagen, BMW, DaimlerChrysler Honda and Mitsubishi. Production prototypes are expected later this year. Ibeo have named their laser-guided car "Lux" - after the Latin for light. The company said its Lux differed from previous self-drive cars because it looks exactly like a standard road model - without any "funny bits" of antenna sticking out of the top or side. To prove its worth, a "Team-Lux" Passat has been entered into a competition to trial self-driving car technology - with a £1.5million funding prize - organised this November by the US government which is interested in the military spin-offs it may bring. Participant driverless cars have to complete a 60 mile trip around an urban environment in under six hours at speds limited to 30mph in the event organised by the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) arm of the US Department of Defence. A spokesman for Volkswagen said: "It wasn't so long ago that many of today's common technologies - such satellite navigation,airbags and bluetooth mobile phones - would themselves have been considered science fiction." Ibeo chief executive Ulrich Lages said: "Our innovative laser technology gives us a lead of several years over our prospective rivals."

| В общем, автомобилем управляет компьютер.
Машина сканирует пространство с помошью лазера, пропускает пешеходов и соблюдает правила дорожного движения. _________________ ночь и тишина я слышу каждую звезду |
