離自動駕駛只差一步 誰還需要DMS?
作者 : Colin Barnden,EE Times專欄作者
2021-01-27
特斯拉都已經進入「全自動駕駛」的最後衝刺階段了,誰還需要DMS來監控駕駛呢?
人們普遍認為特斯拉(Telsa)離自動駕駛烏托邦只差簡單的OTA (over-the-air)這一步了,而忽略了基於視覺的駕駛監控系統(DMS)技術的發展。特斯拉都已經進入「全自動駕駛」(Full Self-Driving)的最後衝刺階段了,誰還需要DMS來監控駕駛呢?
沒這麼快!《消費者報告》(Consumer Reports)的一項最新研究結果顯示,特斯拉可能吹噓過頭了。這篇題為「Cadillac’s Super Cruise Outperforms Other Driving Assistance Systems」的報告總結,「在《消費者報告》對17個系統的最新評級中,凱迪拉克(Cadillac)的Super Cruise遙遙領先於排在第二位的特斯拉Autopilot,其他汽車製造商則緊隨其後。」
《消費者報告》連網和自動駕駛車(AV)測試部門負責人Kelly Funkhouser評論:「儘管很多不同的汽車製造商都提供了新系統,但Super Cruise仍然名列前茅,因為其紅外線攝影機可確保駕駛的眼睛始終看向車道。」
恩智浦無線網路方案介紹
歐盟新車安全評鑑協會(NCAP)和英國保險集團Thatcham Research最近聯合發表了「輔助駕駛等級」(Assisted Driving Grading)評估,結論與《消費者報告》一致。美國杜克大學(Duke University)人類與自主實驗室主任Missy Cummings也發表了一份評估報告,名為「Assessing Tesla Model 3s’ Autopilot Interactions with the Driver Monitoring System」。
來自《消費者報告》、歐盟NCAP、Thatcham Research、美國國家運輸安全委員會(NTSB)和Missy Cummings的資訊都清楚不過地表示:快回去找說大話的Elon Musk安裝合適的DMS吧!
雖然目前這個市場還沒有發展起來,但汽車視覺DMS已經擁有非凡的技術創新和產品發展。這些成就幾乎沒有被報導過,因為其主要供應商都是些名不見經傳的小公司,例如Eyesight Technologies (以色列Herzliya)、Jungo Connectivity (以色列Netanya)、Seeing Machines (澳大利亞Canberra)、Smart Eye (瑞典Gothenburg)和Xperi (美國加州San Jose)。
儘管DMS的安全優勢在很大程度上被主流媒體忽視,但在全球許多區域,特別是在中國、歐洲和美國,諮詢和監管機構卻並未忽視它,以下總結了DMS在這些地區的發展。
中國
筆者所關注的2020年所有汽車DMS設計競賽活動幾乎都與中國有關。作為每年交通事故死亡人數全球第二的國家(WHO的統計資料約為每年255,000人),中國已制定了立法計畫,準備部署DMS對駕駛使用手機、飲食和吸煙等情況進行檢測,同時強制駕駛和所有乘客必須使用安全帶。
Eyesight Technologies展示了將視覺DMS與電腦視覺處理和概率人工智慧(AI)結合,以顯著提高中國道路使用安全性的實際應用(圖1)。
歐洲
歐洲視覺DMS法規落後中國好幾年,但我認為,歐洲DMS的複雜度和完善程度遠超中國。
歐洲似乎更傾向於「駕駛狀態監測」。歐洲研究人員將人因工程學與行為研究結合,開發高階DMS訊號來辨識駕駛注意力、注意力分散、嗜睡、參與度和受傷等狀態,即時瞭解駕駛認知狀態,以評估事故風險。
有一種說法是,只要駕駛專心駕駛並時刻對道路狀況保持警覺,幾乎就可以完全不需要先進駕駛輔助系統(ADAS)來發出警報、蜂鳴音和提示音了。Thatcham Research發佈的「Defining Safe Automated Driving」是一份很有價值的報告,清楚地呈現了歐洲駕駛狀態監測政策的走向。
歐洲議會已經更新了歐洲通用安全法規(GSR),要求在所有四輪或更多車輪的車輛(包括轎車、卡車、貨車、公共汽車和長途汽車)中安裝視覺DMS。
這份完整的法規足足106頁,乏味至極,是治療失眠的良方。法規提到,與視覺DMS有關的立法(附件II第13頁)將分兩個階段導入:
2022年6月到2024年6月,駕駛參與度監控(適用於Level 2+和Level 3自主車輛的視覺DMS)
2024年6月至2026年6月,駕駛注意力分散高階預警系統(適用於Level 0~2車輛的視覺DMS)
歐盟NCAP獨立於歐洲議會和最新的GSR,計畫將視覺DMS測試納入其五星碰撞評級計畫。該計畫原定於2022年啟動,由於新冠肺炎疫情將推延至2024年開始。
儘管歐盟NCAP尚未公佈其視覺DMS的測試規範細則,但根據產品在市場上的發展情況來看,裝有紅外線元件的後視鏡將是一個重點,車艙人員監控系統(OMS)也是一個趨勢,以促進安全帶的使用。
Thatcham Research和歐盟NCAP為制定視覺DMS測試規範細則所進行的許多工作,很快將被其他地區的諮詢機構採納。
美國
我之前曾寫過文章討論美國對DMS的立法態度。此事並沒什麼進展,除了「Moving Forward Act (H.R.2)」通過了眾議院表決,送交到參議院。
正如我在「Lack of ADAS Benchmarks Is Haunting Car Industry」這篇文章中所強調的,在美國,國家公路交通安全管理局(NHTSA)可以透過改變NCAP評估等級來改善道路安全,最好透過與Thatcham Research和歐盟NCAP合作來實現。
根據《華爾街日報》(Wall Street Journal) 2018年5月的一份報告,特斯拉拒絕在Autopilot中整合視覺DMS,因為他們認為這項技術沒什麼用,但歐洲立法者和監管者完全不同意特斯拉的斷言。
本文想表達的重點是,無論Autopilot和「全自動駕駛」功能如何,到2026年6月之後,如果沒有安裝合適的視覺DMS,特斯拉將被禁止在歐洲銷售。因此,即使自動駕駛已經在最後衝刺了,誰還需要DMS?答案很簡單:任何想在歐洲銷售汽車的汽車製造商。
《消費者報告》安全政策經理William Wallace總結:「安全功能的作用是驗證駕駛是否專心,並隨時準備採取行動,因而對於自動駕駛輔助系統而言至關重要。否則,自動駕駛系統潛在的安全風險可能最終掩蓋其帶來的好處。」

【Lesson #3 - Talk to your investors】
Many founders spend countless hours of blood, sweat, and tears fundraising. Endless Zoom calls, perpetual follow-ups, coffee chats, check-ins, dinners, networking events, are all examples of this "always be fundraising" mentality commonly held among bootstrapping entrepreneurs. It's a lot of effort, that oftentimes does not carry over post-fundraising. Once they get money in, the communications falter—a grave mistake and wasted resource, according to Hai Ho, the founder/CEO of Triip (AW#18), a blockchain powered travel platform based in VN.

What I’ve come to learn is that the strength of your company is very closely tied to the strength of your relationship with your investors and how frequently you interact with them. Oftentimes in the early days of your startup, you tend to shrug off any need for external help. You managed to build up promising initial traction, raise a round or two of financing, hire top notch talent—things are good, why trouble yourself with managing investor relations. “I’ll reach out when there’s a problem” you might think to yourself.
Before, I would probably hold a board meeting once, maybe twice a year depending on everyone’s schedule, strictly for the purposes of corporate governance. I’ve since changed how I communicate with my investors. No matter how busy it gets, I make it an effort to send email updates once a month and have meetings with them twice a quarter.
Looking back on my 13 years of entrepreneurship, I wish I could’ve done this a lot sooner. Your investors collectively boast a wealth of experience, wisdom, and connections. Make sure you take advantage of that. Talk to them, in good times and bad. You’re on a long-term journey together, so the least you can do is put some trust in each other. They can help illuminate your blind spots, while leveling the playing field against competition, but only if you let them.
We often forget that founder-investor relations are still a type of human relationship at the end of the day, which can only be developed through consistent face-to-face interactions (virtual or physical), not just from a couple of WhatsApp messages here and there. Doing so has created a stronger bond and mutual understanding between my board and I, and ultimately allowed for more information flow, both ways. Most of my problems now have become much easier to solve than before.
Right when COVID first hit in early 2020, I was still somewhat optimistic about the fundraising climate and overall travel landscape, in my naivete. But one of our very early investors that I had recently rekindled with through my renewed IR efforts thankfully stepped in with a precautionary outlook, shepherding us through some scenario planning and advising us to cut costs to zero and assume we wouldn’t be able to get new funds in until 2024. His guidance was instrumental in helping us weather this storm so far. It’s been an incredibly tough time for travel companies this year, to say the least. But building this communication flow with my investors and advisors has made it 10x easier, for both tactical and moral support.
