自动化驾驶，让程序去控制机器运动，解放人类的双手和双脚，这是技术的进步，是我们懒人的福音，也是科技日新月异的今天对复杂系统进行控制的一个必然趋势。

近日，小米公司发布了新的智能硬件：小米无人机。

几千元就能拥有一个四翼飞行器，通过一体化的云台相机，我们就能享受到飞到空中俯瞰大地的美好感觉，做一些如航拍地平线等炫酷的事情。但如果没有小米无人机背后自动化系统的帮助，恐怕前面所说的享受对于普通人来说就是煎熬了，控制飞行器的高度和方向都会变得异常复杂，更不用说还要考虑飞行器的飞行姿态。

在普通人的生活中，我们还能找出一些自动化驾驶的影子，汽车的定速巡航系统，飞机的自动化驾驶系统，地铁的自动化驾驶系统等，最近比较热门的无人车就不在此讨论了，还处于很初级的阶段，在普通人的生活中也很难寻觅到。

例子中的飞机和地铁是普通人买不起的，但我们依然能够在乘坐过程中享受到自动化驾驶系统所带来的好处。大家都知道在飞机自动化系统出现之前，它的事故率是很高的。

美国商用航班统计数据显示1962年到1971年，每100w乘客就有133个死于空难，而现在从2002年到2011年，每100w乘客只有0.02个死于空难，安全性提升了100多倍。另外我们还可以从下面这张每年全球空难发生次数的统计图中看到，过去的2015年是发生空难次数最低的一年。

不可否认的是，虽然发生空难的次数很少，但还有空难在发生着。而目前的空难类型中包含了许多新型的空难，有许多是自动驾驶系统故障导致的，还有一些是当自动化系统发生故障时，后续飞行员手动操作失误导致的。自动化系统的故障我们可以通过调试程序，完善异常处理机制来解决，但要解决飞行员失误频发就不是那么简单了。

英国的研究员 Ebbatson 研究发现，当前飞行员的控制能力和飞行前2个月的手动飞行训练有着直接的关系，如果前2个月飞行员没有进行过手动训练，那么他的驾驶技术就会退化到危险的边缘。

总的来说，自动化技术带来了很多的好处，我们也坦然的享受着这些好处，但同时我们也要警惕由它引起的新的问题，不能掉以轻心。回到小米无人机，小米公司专门给出了一个安全声明的页面提示使用者，我也希望所有人能仔细研读这份声明，不仅要玩得开心，还要安全和顺心。

Automated driving, let the program to control the machine movement, which became the liberation of human hands and feet, this is the advancement of technology, the best thing to our lazy people, and also this is the inevitable trend of complex system control, based on science and technology changes with each passing day.

Recently, the XIAOMI TECH launched a new intelligent hardware:

XIAOMI UAV(unmanned aerial vehicle). Spent thousands of yuan can have a four wing flight vehicle, through the integration of the yuntai camera, we can enjoy the fly into the sky overlooking the beauty of the earth, to do some cool things such as aerial shot skyline. But if there is no behind automation system for help, I’m afraid the enjoyment of the above for the average person is suffering, control the height and the direction of the aircraft is complicated, let alone consider to control the flight attitude of spacecraft.

In the lives of ordinary people, we can also find some automated driving example, the auto cruise control system, the automatic driving system of the plane, metro automated driving system, etc., recently very hot and popular unmanned vehicle, I’m not discussed here, because this is still at a very beginning stage, in the life of most people are hard to find and use it.

The example of aircraft and subway is hard to buy for us, but we can still taking the benefits of automated driving system and enjoy in the process of transportation.

Everyone knows that the plane got a high rate of accident before the advent of automation system, a data from the United States told that from 1962 to 1971, according to the economic flights, each 1 million people, they had 133 passengers died in the plane crash, but today from 2002 to 2002, each 1 million people, only 0.02 passengers died in the plane crash, security raised more than 100 times. In addition we can also from below piece of the statistics to seen in figure, the past 2015 had the minimum number of years is crash.

What is undeniable is that the number of crash times is little, but there is still air disaster happening. Crash type contains many of the new type of plane crash, there are many is automatic caused by driving system fault, and there’s some failure occurs when the automation system outage, the pilot manual operation breakout mistakes in the subsequent flow. It’s simple to solve automation system error, we can debug program, improve the exception handling mechanism, but hard to fix the frequent pilot errors.

British researcher Ebbatson research found that the current pilot’s control ability to 2 months before, the flight manual flight training, has a direct relationship, if the first 2 months time a pilot didn’t have any manual training, then his driving skills will be degraded to the edge of the danger.

In general, the automation technology has brought about many benefits, frankly, we also enjoy these benefits, but at the same time we should also be alert to new problems caused by it, cannot treat STH(something) lightly. Back to XIAOMI UAV, XIAOMI TECH gives a specific safety statement page prompts users, I also hope that everyone can read the statement carefully, not only to have fun, more safety and satisfactory.
