Aim At Automatic Driving! Intel Launched A 5 Year Cooperation With Tsinghua University And Chinese Academy Of Sciences

This afternoon, Intel announced in Beijing that it will set up a cooperative research center of the Intel intelligent network auto University, which will carry out an in-depth study on automatic driving with the top universities and scientific research institutions in China. The first batch of institutions to sign cooperation agreements is the Tsinghua University and the Institute of automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The cooperation lasted for 5 years.

It is understood that the Intel intelligent network university cooperation research center will aim at five major topics, covering automatic driving vehicles, vehicle networking technology and large-scale intelligent infrastructure to support automatic driving; and the wide application of autopilot for China and the unique cultural and geographical features of China and the Asia Pacific region. And the unique challenges that need to be faced when deploying.

Specific research directions include: 1) autopilot safety; 2) autopilot man-machine interface, and challenges brought by new laws and regulations; 3) open data sets and benchmarks; 4) research on C-V2X, mobile edge computing, intelligent traffic and intelligent infrastructure based on cellular wireless network (5) advanced algorithms based on new hardware devices and architectures (such as Intel 3D Xpoint).

The parties to the Institute of automation of the Tsinghua University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences will have joint research on innovative vehicle networking applications and parallel driving.

"Through this cooperation, we believe that the results of our research in parallel driving and parallel intelligent systems, combined with Intel's technology accumulation in the field of autopilot, will help automatic driving," said the head of the National Key Laboratory of complex systems management and control, vice president and Secretary General of the China Automation Society. On the ground in China. "

Li Keqiang, Professor of the Department of automotive engineering at Tsinghua University, said: "at present, we have completed a series of basic theories and application technologies around the field of intelligent nets. The cooperation with Intel will help us to focus on global vision, linkage global resources, and jointly promote the innovative application research of auto driving and intelligent net auto industry in China.

Over the past few years, Intel has been increasing its layout in the field of automatic driving. Last year, they spent a huge sum of money buying Mobileye for $15 billion 300 million. According to the data, Mobileye is a well-known technology company based in Israel. The 18 year old technology company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2014, and the market value had reached $5 billion. At present, about 27 million cars from 25 manufacturers have driving assistance, and Mobileye products account for 70% of them.

Just this month, Mobileye announced that it had already reached a cooperation agreement with European automakers on the automatic driving technology of 8 million cars. Intel is expected to start in 2021 for auto makers to provide auto driving systems based on the Mobileye fifth generation system chip EyeQ5, which aims to provide a visual core of computer sensors for full auto driving.
