A Mitsubishi divulgou os primeiros detalhes sobre um conceito modernista que será apresentado por completo durante o Salão de Tóquio (Japão) na próxima semana. Chama-se Emirai 4, que pode ser uma combinação de "E" de elétrico com "Mirai" (futuro, em japonês). Nome adequado, já que o estudo adianta as tecnologias para carros elétricos, conectados e autônomos que a marca usará no futuro, criado para "ajudar reduzir os acidentes de trânsito e contribuir para um transporte eficiente, seguro, conveniente e ecológico."

Como não há informações específicas sobre a motorização elétrica do carro, vamos focar em algumas de suas funções, como o head-up display com realidade aumentada, que usa um localizador de alta precisão combinado a uma tecnologia de posicionamento e mapeamento 3D. A combinação é capaz de guiar o motorista mesmo em dias de clima ruim e condições de baixa visibilidade, diz a fabricante.

TOKYO, October 16, 2017 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) today unveiled its EMIRAI 4 concept car featuring next-generation driving-assistance technology, which is expected to help reduce traffic accidents and contribute to increasingly safe, convenient and environmentally friendly transportation. The EMIRAI 4 will be exhibited during 45th Tokyo Motor Show 2017 at the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition complex from October 27 to November 5.

Under the theme of "Feeling with you; convenient, safe and comfortable for each one", development of the new concept car has drawn on three specific fields of research: electrification, autonomous driving, and connected. The EMIRAI 4 features next-generation driving-assistance technologies such as human machine interface (HMI), driver sensing and lighting system. HMI innovations incorporated in the EMIRAI 4 design include:

-	Heads-up display with augmented reality: augmented reality, using high-accuracy locator combined with high-accuracy 3D mapping and positioning technology, emphasizes road and white lane displayed on heads-up display to guide drivers safely even in bad weather and other low-visibility conditions.
-	Knob-on-display: an intuitive sliding knob enables drivers to operate various functions without taking their eyes off the road. Functions accessible via the sliding knob can be easily amended and consolidated into specified groupings, helping to simplify the center interior.
-	Crossed images display: a half mirror with diagonal LCD panel and vertical virtual image from another LCD panel provide clear 3D images of the environment around the vehicle and easy-to-see alerts in the form of vertical images.

A wide-angle interior camera monitors both the driver and the front passenger by detecting the passengers' heads and postures to alert potentially dangerous driving behavior and provides safe and smooth switchover between automated to manual driving. This system also provides comfort for each one by changing air conditioning settings, etc.

Sensors in the car body detect when a door is about to be opened on, which activates an illuminated indicator that is projected onto the road surface and another indicator illuminated on the car body, both of which help nearby vehicles and pedestrians instantly recognize that a door is about to be opened.
