‘V-Charge’: Volkswagen pushes development of automated parking and charging of electric vehicles
• Parking spaces driven to fully automatically
• Electric vehicles charged automatically
• V-Charge places only minor demands on car park infrastructure
• Intelligent form of valet parking
Wolfsburg, 14 July 2015 – Volkswagen aspires to holding the leading position in the field of automated parking. A look into the near future of automated parking is given by ‘V-Charge’, an EU research project, in which six national and international partners are jointly developing new technologies. Its focus is on automating the search for a parking space and on the charging of electric vehicles. The best part about it is that the vehicle not only automatically looks for an empty parking space, but that it finds an empty space with charging infrastructure and inductively charges its battery. Once the charging process is finished, it automatically frees up the charging bay for another electric vehicle and looks for a conventional parking space. ‘V-Charge’ stands for Valet Charge and is pointing the way to the future of automated parking.
In the USA especially, convenient valet parking is a big hit: you pull up in your car right outside your destination, valet service personnel park it for you and have it brought around again as and when you need it. There is no more time-wasting search for a parking place. The V-Charge project picks up on this idea. Its development goal is fully automated searching for a parking space (‘valet parking’) within defined zones, such as in multi-storey car parks.
The production version of the 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf was unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.[32] According to VW the e-Golf has a practical all-electric range of 130 to 190 km (81 to 118 mi), with an official NEDC cycle of 190 km (120 mi), and the winter range is expected to be 80 to 120 km (50 to 75 mi).[33] The 2015 e-Golf has an official EPA rated all-electric range of 134 km (83 mi), and a combined fuel economy of 116 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (MPGe) for an energy consumption of 29 kW-hrs/100 mi. The EPA rating for city driving is 126 MPGe and 105 MPGe in highway.[34] Production of vehicles destined for retail customers began in March 2014.
An autonomous car,[1] also known as an uncrewed vehicle, driverless car,[2] self-driving car[3] and robotic car,[4] is an autonomous vehicle capable of fulfilling the main transportation capabilities of a traditional car. As an autonomous vehicle, it is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input.
The Google Self-Driving Car, commonly abbreviated as SDC, is a project by Google X that involves developing technology for autonomous cars, mainly electric cars. The software powering Google’s cars is called Google Chauffeur.[1] Lettering on the side of each car identifies it as a “self-driving car”.
As of July 2015, Google’s 23 self-driving cars have been involved in 14 minor traffic accidents on public roads,[21] but Google maintains that in all cases the vehicle itself was not at fault because the cars were either being manually driven or the driver of another vehicle was at fault.[38][39][40]
In June 2015, Google founder Sergey Brin confirmed that there had been 12 accidents as of that date, eight of which involved being rear-ended at a stop sign or traffic light, two in which the vehicle was side-swiped by another driver, one of which involved another driver rolling through a stop sign, and one where a Google employee was manually driving the car.[41] In July 2015, three Google employees suffered minor injuries when the self-driving car they were riding in was rear-ended by a car whose driver failed to brake at a traffic light. This was the first time that a self-driving car collision resulted in injuries.[42]
Additionally, Google maintains monthly reports that include any traffic accidents that their self-driving cars have been involved in.
