Japanese electronics giant Panasonic has developed a two-passenger compact vehicle equipped with its own automatic driving system. It is called “The autonomous driving EV commuter”.
The Eiheiji Town Government, The Fukui Prefecture Government and Panasonic have jointly started the field test of the experimental autonomous electric vehicle.
Even if the elderly cannot drive, they will be able to go anywhere, anytime. Mai-road in Eihiji town, a 6.4 km long promenade which was previously used as a railway track has been chosen for the experiment.
The autonomous driving EV commuter is equipped with technologies that have been developed and tested by Panasonic, such as a special recognition system and image recognition technology artificial Intelligence.
