Otto’s trucks require a human driver be present and are only fully automated for highway driving. And it’ll be years (decades?) before Otto passes regulatory hurdles. If cities are already wary of Uber’s driverless cars program, they’re even less likely to let a multi-ton 18-wheeler ride without a driver.
Decades? For sure at least that long, since the infrastructure of roads today have been designed around a person peering out that large glass lens and reacting to the unknown in an accountable way, at least most of the time.
As the PC market continues to decline, the perfect option for Intel comes along. They can keep the revenue going, while the rest of the industry gets nothing. I have the first gen NexDock and with this upgrade it will be nearly perfect (if you don’t mind not having a Mac).
Johnson also used today’s announcement to take a thinly veiled swipe at Google/Alphabet, which spun out its self-driving car unit a few weeks ago. “As you may have gathered, Microsoft is not building its own connected car,” she writes.
Smartly Microsoft is not claiming space in self-driving or its brand of connected cars but has the strong influence in the office and devices world that automakers need to pay attention to.
Krafcik reiterates that Waymo’s aim is to market its integrated hardware and software system, not to build its own automated cars. The goal, he says, is to build a better driver rather than a better car.
After a highly competitive year-long evaluation process, Jaguar Land Rover adopted and standardized on DiSTI’s GL Studio toolkit for its unmatched performance, flexibility, rapid support, and ability to produce feature rich high quality 3D embedded applications
This industry-first in-car capability through Ford SYNC 3 AppLink simply requires drivers tap the voice recognition button on the steering wheel, then say “Alexa,” followed by a question or command.
Amazon Alexa seems so much more accurate and intuitive than Siri or other voice services. I wonder if the car environment will retain that ease of use.
More than simply a path, this is an architectural blueprint with three layers of redundancy and fail-operational design. It enables a hack proof automated driving system (SAE ADS) capable of SAE level 4/5 automation with ASIL D and low power for the real world.
Since no one knows when or how it will be possible to monetize autonomous cars, they’re investing billions in anything with the words Autonomy or Mobility, catchphrases of a seemingly inevitable future they don’t understand.
Just like watching a thrilling game of craps in Vegas, with everyone playing side bets and cheering on the high roller, there is excitement in self-driving cars and money will be made. The question is will they be safe-driving cars?
today announced a groundbreaking design for a solid-state LiDAR sensor that can deliver a subsystem cost of under $50 U.S. when sold in high-volume manufacturing scale
