Driving coaches(教练)might soon be replaced by AI in the near future. A company in China has developed an AI-powered driving coach called RoboCoach, and it has already been used in driving schools.
However, RoboCoach is not a human-like robot that sits next to you and criticizes your driving skills. The digital(数字的)driving coach developed by Beijing Yi Jia Jia Technology is actually a teaching and safety control system(系统)put into the car.
The other way in which RoboCoach differs from human driving coaches is even more interesting, though. RoboCoach will call you as “mommy” or “daddy”, which is surprisingly funny for a system.
Besides the voice, the system uses a screen and a smart mirror to communicate with the learner. RoboCoach uses sensors(传感器)to slow down if the car runs into an object or speeds up suddenly for no reason, similar to how self-driving cars work.
“The RoboCoach has more than 40 different sensors on the car to sense people, other cars and roads, “Yi Jia Jia’s founder Ma Hong told Abacus, “It communicates with learners and makes proper decisions and instructions. “
The car also has radar(雷达)systems for faster decision making, he said. The system isn’t just keeping new drivers from running into objects. It also collects information on the learner’s driving behavior. It reads these driving habits in real time to see if the learner is calm or easy to get mad during practice and then changes its teaching style. By recording all the problems a learner has during lessons, the system will help the new driver correct past mistakes and prevent new ones.
The RoboCoach has recently been used in five driving instruction centers, which are owned by Yi Jia Jia’s parent company Hebei Lian Investment, as well as 22 other driving schools across China.
