NAVIA - unmanned electric vehicle
Continuing the publication of CES 2014 , the Telebreeze team was interested in another very interesting exhibit from the company Induct Technology .
Google has been developing a project for automating car control for years. But, despite notable successes, the development is still far from complete. Therefore, the development of the French company Induct, which was presented in Las Vegas at CES-2014, looks doubly more impressive.

The French project Navia is a car without a driver. The electric car from Induct is designed for eight passengers, but its main advantage is that that for buyers it is available today.
In order to start moving, one of eight passengers must enter certain commands on the special touch display of the self-driving vehicle regarding the route and speed.
Navia can accelerate to 20 km / h, and if the battery is low, the car is able to find the charging station on its own.
While driving, the unmanned electric vehicle uses an internal navigation system and four LIDAR scanners. Scanners are designed to create a map of the surrounding area within a radius of 200 meters, and the on-board computer takes this information into account when drawing up the route.
A useful additional feature of the French self-driving electric vehicle is its ability to calculate the optimal route.
Pierre Lefevre - executive director of the company Induct - said that the developers' goal was to create a car with improved mobility, overcoming the framework of the usual cars and other traditional vehicles. According to him, public transport is currently not well developed, and the Navia project is intended to be a new milestone in its development.
This electric car will still be ideal for airports, major treatment centers, as well as parks and golf courses. Its use will make movement through the territories and internal roads more comfortable and will help reduce the amount of harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
The cost of an unmanned vehicle is about $ 250,000. Discussing the price, Mashable.com stresses that Navia will cost the buyer 40% less than conventional cars of identical capacity and purpose.
Interestingly, Navia electric cars are already helping employees of the UK Atomic Energy Authority park and the Swiss Polytechnic School in the city of Lausanne.

The developers note that Navia at the moment can not be used as a familiar vehicle.
