Intel and Mobileye Unveil Their First Autonomous Car

Intel Corp.’s CEO, Brian Krzanich, recently unveiled the first autonomous car, run with technology developed by Israel’s Mobileye.

He presented the new car at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

Mobileye processed the information cars “see” from cameras and sensors. The car indeed includes 12 cameras, laser scanners, radars, computing technologies developed by Mobileye and Intel.

The car has three high-resolution cameras at the front of the car that enable a 180-degree view field. Also, the car image processor is able to see at a distance of up to 300 meters.

Intel bought Mobileye in March 2017 for $15.3 billion.

On top of it, Intel announced a new collaboration with China’s carmaker SAIC Motor. SAIC will develop self-driving vehicles in China based on Mobileye’s technology as well.

Intel will also join forces with NavInfo, a digital mapping company, to extend the crowdsourced map building that is necessary to produce self-driving vehicles to China.

Krzanich also announced a partnership with Ferrari North America Inc.
Ferrari will use Intel’s AI technologies to apply data from the racetrack to improve the experience for fans and drivers.

Krzanich finally added that two million vehicles created by BMW, Nissan and Vokswagen will use Mobileye Road Experience Management (REM) technology to crowdsource data to build and update high definition maps during this year.
