DOES MERCEDES BUILD VACUUM CLEANERS?
In fact, in the "extension" in front of the bumper there are no elements of cleaning equipment. Here are the sensors for the control and safety systems of this fully automatic “Aktros”, which runs between the warehouse and the assembly shop of the Ulm plant. Two such “robot cars” transport 120 thousand tons of cargo per year at a distance of 200 meters, which requires up to 10 thousand uniform flights during two-shift operation. Just imagine how tedious they would be for ordinary drivers.
Along the entire route, transponders are placed in the road surface - inductive elements, the signal from which is caught by the receiver and processed by the on-board computer. As a result, the positioning accuracy of a huge car is plus or minus 2 cm, and this truck approaches the loading landing stage (in reverse!) With an error of 1 cm.
Just in case, the "actresses" are additionally equipped with video cameras, laser scanners and even a primitive stop sensor. If the soft skin of the extension touches anything, the car will stop immediately. You can stop it from the side by pressing on one of the red fungus buttons.
