The Robocar HV being developed by ZMP is a test vehicle for research and development that acquires vehicle sensor data via the vehicle’s controller area network (CAN) to enable vehicle control through an independent controller. The Robocar HV can acquire various information such as speed, engine RPM, number of steering wheel turns, and orientation, and it can control steering, acceleration, and braking. Acquired driving data can also be saved and put into a database in a server via the Internet using a cloud service jointly developed with Microsoft Japan.

When predicted data is sent to the car, the driver can be informed of this information, or the vehicle itself can provide support by actively moving to avoid an accident.”
“The price is high at 12 million yen ($150,000). We have started a membership service in which the Robocar HV can be shared on a yearly basis for 5 million yen ($62,500). As mentioned previously, the Robocar HV can be used as a test vehicle by researchers of robot automatic driving and safe driving support, or by developers of vehicle devices and sensors. Use in these ways by a variety of people will hopefully help contribute to support safe driving and ease traffic congestion.”
