Driverless Cars

Hexagon’s Autonomy & Positioning division and Dayou are now excited to announce the availability of product development test beds in Beijing, Shanghai, Anqing and Shenzhen for OEMs in the automotive and micromobility industries.

Among the supplier’s big show news was the world premiere of next generation Level 4 autonomous shuttle and a new partnership with Beep on autonomous transport systems for customers in the U.S. and a new multi-domain version of ZF ProAI high-performance computer.

The headliners from the GPU/AI software supplier are that Foxconn will manufacture Drive Orin computers for the auto market and integrate the Drive Hyperion sensor architecture for its EV fleets, while Mercedes will design next-gen factories with Omniverse.

A recent study found that shared automated vehicles could have many benefits for medium-sized cities.

CES Brief: The startup focused on vision perception for autonomous driving platforms will introduce at CES 2023 what it says is the industry’s highest performing compute platform for autonomous mobility, pitching 1000-TOPS processing at the vehicle’s edge.

French engineering firm M3 Systems has developed a new tool for GNSS and multi-path simulation. The test bench is particularly well suited to testing assisted and autonomous driving applications.

The ZF ProConnect platform securely connects vehicles with cloud and infrastructure with integration of leading-edge positioning solutions from Hexagon, which is demonstrating the high-precision satellite navigation for automated driving in a demo car at CES 2023.

The transaction aligns with Magna’s Go-Forward strategy of accelerating investments in high-growth areas and broadens Magna’s ADAS portfolio with complementary products, customers, and geographies.

Funding will support the Sheffield University spin-out’s radical new approach using Antimony to dramatically improve performance over silicon-based sensors, the new architecture being ten times more sensitive and with 50% more range compared to equivalent sensors.

With Tesla in their cross-hairs, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volkswagen look to create class-leading automated driving systems.
