Trying to identify software
-
I have been told that this exists. I have never seen it. I may not be telling the truth here; I don't know. Does there exist, in a car for sale today (new car, in the USA) a system whereby... - a matrix of cameras outside the car takes real time video - a microprocessor amalgamates the matrix of images - The driver can see a 3-D representation on the dashboard - The representation accurately displays everything on every side of the car ... and I don't know where to put the question mark. This includes highway speeds as well as turtle speeds for tight parking That's what I'm trying to find. Software (okay, firmware, I don't care) which can assimilate multiple video cameras and create a virtual 3-D image (on a 2-D screen) of what's going on; preferably which can be saved to disk. Again; I was told that this exists. I am frequently told things that are not true. (Oooops,,,, I meant, "frequently present at futuristic marketing projections") Does it exist ? Can someone point me to something I can watch ?
Yes, it exists. I am in the car industry, and we have a complete department developing this. Mass production for high class segment in 2020.

This part would not be legal. Other than that your basically describing the Google streetview cars.

Is there any more Information available or does it run as Company secret to be revealed in 2020?

I'd go for "Depends on the Country". Especially given that there are HUD[^] Displays for cars.

Depending on how the development is going, I do not think you will "officialy" hear about it before two or three years. I have not seen it live, but the movies and screenshots are quite impressive. As an example of how long it may take, I have already driven : - in 1999, a truck with a joystick instead of the steering wheel (X by wire), and you had the possibility to switch on a mode so that you could "pilot" the trailer for parking in reverse gear (the software would then interprete your moves and monoeuvre the puller so that the trailer would follow your directions. Crazy thing !!). - in 2002, a car that you could leave at the entrance of a parking silo, and that would find by itself a parking spot and park there. These are systems that are still not known from a lot of people. Here the limit is the law, not the technology.

I have enough trouble remembering where I've parked when I've parked; if I've left the car to park itself, I'll never find it again! :rolleyes:

Am I on the right track with THIS[^] page ? I found it, thanks to my improved vocabulary which comes from CodeProject. THIS PICTURE[^] is approximately (if not exactly) what was described to me.

In the UK there's the Land Rover 360 Camera System. It's pretty close to what you describe. Not sure if it's available in the US.
Thanks for the suggestion. Close, but hot the Three-Dimensional Image[^] which was described to me. Still don't know if I found the real thing or not.

... is most likely the term you're looking for. Video[^] (Admitted it Looks like a futuristic Marketing projection) Article[^] Another Video[^]

First video: Wow, amazing Second video: unbelievable I REALLY want to know how it can look ahead and see between the two cars on the right.
