Japan pushes its link with European satellites and uses "God" technology to promote autonomous driving

As autopilot continues to heat up, countries are now fighting for autopilot, and Japan is no exception. Today, according to "Nihon Keizai Shimbun", the Japanese government will promote the integration of satellite positioning systems in Japan and Europe in 2018 in order to accelerate the development of autonomous driving technology.

It is reported that the integration of Japan-Europe Satellite Positioning System (GPS) means that the language of the information signals sent by the Japanese version of the GPS “Zinithenna” and the EU’s “Galileo Navigation System” will be universalized. Through the convergence, self-driving cars and related parts and components developed for the Japanese market will be used worldwide. This will reduce the cost of development and production and promote Japanese companies to expand into the world market.

Now, in Japan and Europe, the way to control cars through satellite information is becoming mainstream.

The Japanese government and the European Commission recently established the "Japan-Europe Satellite Positioning Dialogue" that strives to promote the integration of satellites. Japan's Mitsubishi Electric, Hitachi Shipbuilding, NTT data, French Defense and electronics giant Thales, will participate together. In order to develop a system for achieving the universalization of quasi-zenith satellites and Galileo signals, a specific roadmap will be developed in 2016.

In order to welcome the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the Japanese government has positioned the practical use of self-driving cars and agricultural products as the core of its growth strategy. It is estimated that the scale of related industries in the autopilot system will increase to 7 trillion yen by 2030. U.S. Google and others use a vehicle-based sensor as the core mechanism, and Japan is striving to develop the market as early as possible using the "Japan-European Union" satellite approach.

In fact, Japan and Europe have always been good friends in terms of autonomous driving. Not long ago, Japan and the European Union set the standard for global autopilot. Now it is starting to cooperate with Europe in satellites. Now in the field of automated driving, countries and major companies in the world have begun to look for partners. It seems that single-handed combat is no longer feasible.
