Bosch Creates a Performance Assistant for Race Circuits
The company Bosch has unveiled an innovative assistance system designed specifically to operate on competition tracks. This prototype processes car and environmental information instantly to guide the driver on how to improve their cornering and take care of the tires. Suggestions are communicated via voice during driving. 🏎️
A Digital Co-Pilot That Learns and Advises
The system works as a virtual companion that employs artificial intelligence algorithms. It compares the current driving style with a predefined optimal model. It identifies moments to attack a corner more aggressively or when it's prudent to reduce speed to preserve the rubber. Its goal is to enable drivers of any level to get the best out of the car consistently, minimizing mistakes. 🧠
Key Components of the System:- AI algorithms that evaluate driving in real time.
- Vehicle sensors that capture speed, steering angle, and tire temperature.
- A reference model with the ideal line for comparison.
Even the best instinct cannot calculate the exact wear of the compound on the left rear tire in turn eight.
Precision Comes from Detailed Circuit Data
To operate effectively, the technology needs an extremely precise digital map of the track. This map includes the track limits and the perfect driving line. By fusing this data with the car's sensor information, the system can calculate the most appropriate action in every fraction of a second and transmit it to the driver clearly and without distraction. 🗺️
Data Processed by the Assistant:- High-definition map with track limits and optimal line.
- Live information on speed, acceleration, and steering angle.
- Tire temperature and wear readings.
Beyond the Driver's Instinct
While a professional driver might fully trust their instinct and experience, this assistant offers an objective and quantifiable analysis that the human brain cannot match. It represents a tool designed to complement the driver's skills, providing data-based insights that help make more informed decisions and maintain maximum performance throughout the circuit session. 🏁
