The areas of technology demonstration testing will be expanded as Honda advances its CI micro-mobility technologies, and will continue research and development with the aim of putting the technology into practical use by around 2030, said Honda.
The ability for a machine to drive itself without said reliance on high-precision maps will be from a real-time understanding of road structures, such as intersections and curves as well as other road users including pedestrians and other vehicles through only visual data captured by onboard cameras, which the machine will then have to quickly understand and determine a clear passage instantly.
The second technology, which is for user intention understanding and communication, aims to enable the micromobility machine to have a human-like understanding of words and gestures, in order to think and make proposals on its own.
