With a milestone approach to enhance research and
development in car industry, car maker BMW will increase partnerships with
technology firms using ‘open technology standards, seeking to harness their
expertise in areas including machine learning and mapping as they race against
Silicon Valley companies such as Google, Tesla and Apple to develop driverless
vehicles.’
The luxury car maker will therefore team up with Intel and
Mobileye, to include technology of fully automated driving and install
sophisticated cruise control system. Highly autonomous cars and everything they
connect to will require powerful and reliable electronic brains to make them
smart enough to navigate traffic and avoid accidents, said Intel Chief
Executive Brian Krzanich on Friday following the alliance with BMW.
On Friday, the three giant organizations termed that the
new technology is likely to make cars and vehicles those are ‘highly or fully
automated’ by 2021 and introduce mass production. With sophisticated car control
system already available to assist ‘hands off’ driving, but human help is also
required.
Reports are that after ‘hands off’, BMW, along with Intel
and Mobileye will develop the cars with ‘eyes off,’ ‘mind off,’ and ‘driver
off.’ However, the initial planning has received few conflicting aspects. “That
will be critical for advancing the safety aspects of this,” Krzanich pointed
out.
Even BMW chief officials also agreed with the legal
questions in case of any untimely situation like crash. “The accident is very
sad....We believe today the technologies are not ready for series production.
For the BMW group, safety comes first,” said BMW CEO Harald Krueger.
BMW, Intel and Mobileye will demonstrate their
technological proposal in a pilot project soon.
