According to Reuters, many companies are scrambling to bring their autonomous vehicles to market. Although some companies are able to develop their own autonomous driving technology, most companies need help, sharing the capital and technical burden. As a result, automakers and suppliers are expanding their alliances to develop autonomous driving technologies that can be used by multiple manufacturers.
While companies such as Tesla, General Motors and Ford are trying to develop private unmanned systems, more companies seem to think it's more reasonable to work with suppliers to develop autonomous driving because of anti-lock braking systems or radar. Many other functions, such as cruise fixed speed, are developed through this cooperative mode.
In the field of autonomous driving technology, several suppliers such as Israel map and visual sensing system suppliers Mobileye, NVIDIA and Delphi are more popular technology partners, and they have established several alliances around the world.
“If you want to develop a real autonomous car, you need to work with other companies,†said Mobileye CEO Amnon Shashua. “The technical challenges in this process are huge, just like Send people to the moon."
Strong alliance
Mobileye supplies cameras, chips and driver assistance system software to more than 20 manufacturers worldwide, which are essential components of autonomous vehicles. Mobileye was also an early supplier of Tesla's vision system, but after a Model S owner died using the Tesla Autopilot autopilot, the two companies broke open last summer.
Since splitting up with Tesla, Mobileye has achieved two important cooperations in the development of autonomous driving systems: one is cooperation with German car manufacturer BMW, the US chip manufacturer Intel, and the other is cooperation with long-term supplier Delphi. .
The alliance between Mobileye and Delphi involves a turn-key system that they plan to offer to small car manufacturers who lack the resources to develop their own technology. Delphi CTO Jeff Owens said the system is ready for production in 2019 and is expected to cost about $5,000.
Elmar Frickenstein, senior vice president of BMW Autopilot, said that the alliance between Mobileye and BMW and Intel is expected to attract more automakers and suppliers. “We want to develop a standard system that can be used by everyone in 2021,†he said. “The alliance can share costs and speed up the process of development and popularization.â€
Freckenstein said that BMW and its partners may eventually offer a combination of autopilot hardware and software, or a complete driverless system, to companies such as Uber and Google in a non-exclusive agreement.
NVIDIA is also increasing its cooperation in autonomous driving technology and systems. Last week, Nvidia announced a partnership with Audi, map company Here, German supplier ZF and Bosch.
“We are not looking to develop a proprietary system,†said Dirk Hoheisel, Bosch’s management committee for autonomous driving. “We want to work with other companies to develop a standard platform for autonomous driving systems and Open standards, especially in terms of data and maps."
Alejandro VukoTIch, head of Audi's assisted driving system development, said that no single supplier can provide a complete solution alone, and no company can master all the technology needed to develop a self-driving car.
