Intel and BMW showed a car with self-driving functions

Intel and BMW demonstrated one of the first BMW 7 Series sedans with advanced self-driving systems.

The car is being developed in partnership with Mobileye. Recall that this company specializes in the development of solutions for control systems for unmanned vehicles. Intel announced the acquisition of Mobileye in March of this year; the transaction amounted to $ 15.3 billion.





As part of the self-driving car project, BMW is responsible for driving, dynamic performance and overall functional safety assessment. In particular, the company’s specialists are engaged in computer modeling, component integration, prototype production and platform scaling, taking into account the interests of other partners.





In turn, Intel is responsible for high-performance computing systems running both in the car and at the data center level.





Finally, Mobileye provides its high-performance computer vision system with low power consumption and meets all the functional safety requirements adopted in the automotive industry. The system is responsible for the processing and integration of data received from the cameras of a circular view. Combined with Intel’s processors and programmable controllers, the solution forms a single computing platform that will be integrated into every driverless car.





In total, by the end of this year, Intel, BMW and Mobileye plan to put on the road about 40 cars with advanced self-driving vehicles. In the coming years, the partners plan to introduce new samples of hardware and software for the autonomous control platform.





In addition, Intel announced the opening of the Advanced Vehicle Lab in Silicon Valley, whose specialists will conduct research in the field of automotive self-driving technologies. published
