(ANSA) – ROME, JULY 11 – The taxi robots are closing now, thanks to the acceleration that Bosch and Daimler wanted to give to the development of fully autonomous SAE 4/5 unmanned driverless cars. . With a joint conference, the two German giants have announced that they have chosen California as a test site for the first shuttle fleet – usable via the Daimler Mobility Service application – which will be used in the same fashion. autonomous driving from the second half of 2019 on selected routes in an unidentified "California metropolis". The pilot project will show how mobility services such as Car2go carpooling, MyTaxi carpooling and Moovel multi-modal platforms – all led by Daimler – can be intelligently connected to shape the future of mobility. The partners also chose the US computer company NVIDIA as the provider of the artificial intelligence platform on which will be based the network of electronic control units

. The decisive factor is the introduction of a safe, reliable and mature system. – said Michael Hafner, who heads the automated driving business Daimler AG – Safety is the number one priority and is the constant theme in all aspects and stages of development aimed at starting mbad production.

doubt, accuracy always comes before speed. "The reliable recognition of the vehicle environment, achieved through the various sensors – emphasizes the two companies – is the decisive factor for a completely autonomous and driverless driving in the city.The badysis and interpretation of the variety of input data and their translation into driving commands in a very short time require enormous computing power, so that the vehicle fully In the same time, a completely autonomous driving in urban areas requires a versatile and redundant system architecture and the highest level of operational security. necessary calculations are made by a series of parallel circuits, able to ensure smooth operation even e in the unlikely event of a malfunction.

& # 39; & # 39; Developing an autonomous driving to bring it to a level that allows mbad production is like a decathlon race – said Stephan Hoenle, vice president of the automated driving unit of Robert Bosch GmbH – He does not not enough to be good in one or two areas. You must be highly competent in all disciplines, just like our company. It is only then that it will be possible to secure autonomous driving in the streets and cities.

For their driving system, Bosch and Daimler rely on a network of electronic control units consisting of several embedded units. NVIDIA provides the platform needed to run the AI ​​algorithms generated by Bosch and Daimler for the autonomous operation of vehicles. The network of electronic control units connects the data of all sensors – which operate the radars, cameras, ultrasonic lidars – badyzes them in a few thousandths of a second and programs the movements of the vehicle. ability to calculate trillions of operations per second
