Intel to develop self-driving car soon

Mumbai: Intel will soon be developing self-driving cars, as per the official reports. This move indicates that Intel is trying to get into the automated car industry.

Intel's new hardware and software technology in- vehicle solutions platform will help to its self-driving car to acquire a better speed.  According to official reports, ‘The new technology will also help evolve to better inform, assist and eventually assume control in the self-driving car.’

The in- vehicle solutions platform comes with processors, an operating system and developer kits. Intel also claims, ‘ The new platform will make it easier for automakers and suppliers to bring updates to its platform much faster (in only 12 months) and at 50% of the cost.’ Its to built-in sensors can inform a computer to make driving decisions much faster than humans. In addition to reducing crashes, self-driving cars could  even ease congestion, improve fuel economy, reduce parking needs and bring mobility to those who are unable to drive.

At present, Intel is collecting data about how people drive and how cars can be more adaptive, predictive and interact with drivers and its surroundings.

Mashable also further reported, ‘Although the product is available for auto systems with advancer driver assistance capabilities, future iterations will be ‘geared for advanced driving experiences such as autonomous or self-driving cars’.

In 2012, the company had also established a $100 million Intel Capital Connected Car Fund to grow car tech integration and help it enable future autonomous driving capabilities.
