According to foreign media reports, Arrow Electronics has been developing a semi-autonomous car Sam Car since 2014. The feature of this model is that it can complete the steering and driving of the vehicle with limited movement. This year, the company opened up the test drive experience for the model to the public.
The test drive is arranged at the Bandimere Speedway in the town of Morrison. The appearance of the Sam Car looks like a corvette racing.
Joe Carren, director of project at Sam Car, said: “Sam Car is a modified Corvette car, and people with disabilities can use their heads to drive the car.â€
In other words, you only need to control the vehicle with your head, without the cooperation of your hands and feet.
Verrengia said: "With a simple electronic device developed by the company, the company has transformed the Corvette car to make disabled people with quadriplegics on the track."
Verrengia said: "The steering device has been modified, and the four infrared cameras are aimed at the driver's head. When the driver's head moves to the left, the camera will track its head movements, and the vehicle will turn left. Similarly, The driver can use this method to complete the right turn operation of the vehicle. The company changed the camera from eye tracking to head tracking."
The operating principle of the throttle and brake system is as follows: The user can simply assist in the acceleration or braking operation by simply inhaling or blowing air into a transparent tube.
Verrengia said: “Blowing the transparent tube, the vehicle will complete the acceleration operation. When inhaling from the transparent tube, the vehicle will perform the deceleration operation until braking, and the operation principle is very simple.â€
Mark Deschamp was fortunate to be the first test driver for Sam Car. He was very satisfied with the wheelchair design and driving experience. His top speed reached 18 mph.
Deschamp believes that this vehicle eliminates operational obstacles in conventional vehicle driving for people with disabilities, enabling them to regain independence and a sense of accomplishment while maneuvering the vehicle.
Arrow hopes that the technology will continue to make technological progress and ultimately benefit more people. In addition, other agencies have also noted the technology.
The Association for Driver Rehabilitation Specialists mentioned in a statement to Denver7 that the agency is interested in the function and prospects of the electronic controls developed by Arrow Electronics, which will benefit people with disabilities. However, the cost of this technology is still an important factor.
ADED also said it anticipates that the technology will help all people with disabilities enjoy the freedom of moving in their communities.
