Silicon Valley companies scrambling to develop their own unmanned aerial vehicle project, but has been grappling with a simple question: do you map. Leading Google when building maps, very detailed, even roadside trees and curbstones are marked on the map. This expensive project, let other companies to catch up.
Industry experts said that the rookie in the field of driverless cars like Uber, and Apple, in the map it will look for other ways, develop autonomous unmanned vehicles, without the need for luxuries like Google maps.
Rely on innovation to achieve unmanned
In fact, in the time of new products are emerging, this map more competition means that these technology companies on how and when to achieve unmanned.
Driverless car expert at Carnegie Mellon University Raj Rajkumar said the maps the way for Google to have a lot of resources for companies, there is a certain significance. But the map is not a requirement. Map competition is an advantage to Google, because Google is search, there is a wealth of resources. No such ability of collecting information for the company team, need to be innovative. And it turns out, innovation can also implement unmanned. Rajkumar use radar, cameras and 6 laser scanner transformed a Cadillac, in 2013, the vehicle in the case of no interference in 3D map, you 53km to the local airport.
Whether Google's detailed map (requires map), is the new way of Rajkumar (no map), there are limitations. What's more, unmanned most optimistic acknowledge that all kinds of technology, regulations and laws and regulations will delay arrival of the unmanned, or even a longer period of time.
Sources say that Apple is working on research potential of driverless cars. In early February, Uber announces collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University, established Uber advanced technology center in Pittsburgh, largely unmanned vehicle research, development and design, and a variety of automotive safety technology. Tesla is developing unmanned technology, traditional automakers such as GM, Nissan also function under unmanned cars. Some companies, such as Nokia, also are developing accurate 3D maps, these maps may be authorized in the future to give the auto companies. Driverless car, Uber and Apple declined to comment.
Map argued: 3D map sensor
Analysts at market research firm IHS Automotive said Egil Juliussen, creating a can reach Google's driverless car using a standard map across the United States, need to spend hundreds of millions of dollars and take a 5-7 time.
All self-driving cars rely on map for navigation and keep the route and maps using Google's driverless car in more detail. This map uses laser scanners to construct, through the analysis of data collected by the laser scanner, data such as traffic lights and stop signs, car "feeling" their specific location. In addition, Google unmanned prototypes through on-board sensors, detecting any object that is not on the map marked, such as vehicles or baby carriage.
Anki robot company co-founder CEOBoris Sofman said Google's map technology and resources in the development of unmanned vehicles have the advantage. However, the timeliness of map data becomes important. For example there was a snow, might change the terrain, and the need to update the map data.
Driverless car sensor producer Dirk Langer ASCar executives said, based on a map of unmanned vehicle technology allows users to travel in a controlled environment. Google says driverless cars to collect road change information, used to regularly update. Langer also said the elderly community and University campus is ideal for 3D map driverless car driving situations, but widespread use of sensor is more important than the 3D map.
Auto supplier Delphi automotive company executives John Absmeier believes that on streets and highways in the specially designed, may be able to achieve autonomous driving without the using 3D maps.
If the car to achieve autonomous driving, you need development and advances in sensor technology. In fact, transformation of the Cadillac at Carnegie Mellon University, Rajkumar modification mentioned above, you need to install driving lights sensor, to complete self-the journey to the airport. Rajkumar says:

"It will give 6 iPad charging at full speed, I still 5 iPad." 2A charging equipment will be more and more, if you already have more than one such device at home, while the pursuit of efficiency and convenience, this 6 monster really worth considering. For me, now there are 4 full speed USB is very happy.
