Corona: How far is the gesture function of a car that can be operated without touching?
After shopping, holding a supermarket bag in both hands and trying to return to the car, both hands are blocked, and if you have a key, you can not use a smart key that opens just by touching it.In such a case, there is a hands -free function that only puts your feet on the rear bumper and opens the trunk back door.
In addition, a hands-free auto-auto sliding door, which opens automatically when you put your feet under the sliding door on the side of the body, is also set in Serena, Step Wagons, Freed, N-BOX, etc. (recently smart keys.There is a reservation switch, and there is also a welcome power sliding function that opens the sliding door automatically just by having a key).
The functions that use these hands can be performed with juschers that operate air conditioners and audio by hand, making it a convenient era.
In this gesture control, the 3D camera installed on the indoor ceiling reads the movement of the user's hand to reflect a virtual hand on the cockpit center screen, and just move the hand and one finger to touch the screen.The point is that each operation can be performed.
For example, it is possible to adjust the volume by simply drawing a small circle with the index finger toward the control display, or the function of activating the preset function by holding the V -sign toward the instrument panel can be performed by hand.
By the way, it is a gesture control function that can be operated without touching, which can be said to be a match in the Corona era.

Equipment that simplifies operations other than driving
While driving a car, you should concentrate on driving as much as possible, but there are many other operations that you need to do, and you want to do it.If you get a message from a friend on your smartphone, you'll want to see it while driving, and you'll want to make a phone call from a customer.
However, driving becomes strict with penalties (6 deductions 6 and immediately suspended), and if a traffic accident causes driving, the responsibility will be heavier.
By the way, in the report of a traffic accident, I often hear explanations that "the site is a straight road with a good visibility ...".Have you ever wondered why traffic accidents occur on straight roads with good visibility?If you know that you can't turn the curve due to a collision with the head and over -speed, why does a traffic accident occur on the "straight road with good visibility"?
In fact, the most common situation of traffic accidents, which accounts for about 40 % or more, is running in a straight state.Why is it?There may be a reason for the opponent's unreasonable crossing of pedestrians and bicycles, but if there is a problem on the straight car, it is a great straight road with a good visibility.
No driver would be a radio selection station while turning the curve or approaching the intersection.Originally, you want to wait for a traffic light, but if you are a straight road with a good visibility, you will feel more comfortable and you will be more likely to act other than operation operation.
In order to eliminate such a situation, automakers are working to make it easier to adjust the air conditioner other than the operation and make it easier to select an audio.Auto air conditioners and steering switches are also equipped with such considerations.
A new technology to increase the accuracy of gesture control has appeared
Recently, the equipment has appeared that it does not need to operate the switch directly.That is the technology of gesture control, literally gestures (gestures), and realizes operations.
What is indispensable now is a hands -free function that can open the trunk with your feet.
The trunk can be opened even if both hands are blocked with luggage, and it is realized by putting your feet under the rear bumper and moving sideways.After that, kicking the bumper (although it is not a gesture) has appeared to increase the accuracy of the operation.
In the Hondao Dyssey, which has been changed in November 2020, a hand -action gesture control is used not only on the rear gate but also on the sliding door, and the power slide door is opened just by holding the hand.
The introduction of gesture control is progressing in the interior.Mercedes -Benz, BMW, and VW are actively promoting equipment that can operate audio, air conditioning, and monitors with gestures.This allows the hand sign alone to complete the operation without reaching the switch, touch panel, and sunroof.
This is, of course, convenient, but gesture control often hears that the operations have individual differences, so there is a limit to the recognition ability, and the owners often say that it is difficult to use.Because it is difficult to understand whether the dialogue with the car is established while the device to make it easier to blindly operate while driving.
It is relying on the fact that the operation is recognized by the car, how much adjustment is made, and the operation is reflected later, and the operation is reflected later.。
