Talk to the BMW-led Autonomous Driving Alliance

Lei Feng network press: author of this article Zhu Yulong, automotive industry practitioners, the main car electronics.

In simple terms, it is now a German car company that has taken US and global technology companies together to create a digital computing platform that will cooperate with Germany's chassis electronics and EE bus to innovate and evolve.

Recently, BMW, Intel, and Mobileye opened a small party and organized a group to compete in the autopilot war. We should also face this war in the auto industry for the next 100 years.

The three parties will jointly develop self-driving cars based on the BMW i Vision Future Interaction concept car

Production version will be launched in 2021

The three parties have created a better platform for self-driving.

We simply consider, especially taking AUDI to PK about BMW

1) ADAS field

In fact, we seriously compare, the two ADAS in L0 ~ L1 in fact the difference is not.

Sensor Configuration Find Bosch, Conti, Kostal, etc.

77G Radar will converge in addition to the price (you can choose the same)

ME+ camera module is the same

2) Automatic driving

In accordance with their two concepts, BMW and AUDI have the same ability to find sensors.

Both IBEO lidar will give

What difference do we consider? What is worth to draw?

This group of BMW

1) BMW takes the lead in coordinating the car

1.1 Fixing Radar&Lidar&Camera Sensors

1.2 Get the actuator

1.3 Adding V2X&Telematics

2) Intel provides computing platform

In May 2014, Intel contributed 100 million knives to the ZMP. ZMP's "IZA (Intel ZMP Autonomous Computer)" is equipped with real-time Linux box devices. The processor is equipped with Intel's "Core i7". The IZAC connected to sensors such as LIDAR, camera, millimeter-wave radar, and GPS is connected to the vehicle's CAN bus, and the autopilot application software runs on Linux.

3) ME provides deep learning around the image

This is actually a point in Amnon Shashu's opinion. I agree: the three pillars supporting autonomous driving

1. Sensing: This ME company provides visual extraction technology while BMW sets up a complete redundancy system.

The sensor combination senses the road environment and obtains the environmental data. Through the calculation unit, the environmental model is established.

2. Driving policy:

Autopilot system needs to learn how to abide by traffic rules => DNN and Rule based

When to go

When to stop, etc., all need

The system needs to organize these into rules that the system complies with

3. Mapping

The autopilot system needs to create a very accurate map to deal with road conditions

Also determine where you are

The redundancy system established by BMW here

Perceptual Redundancy: Sensor Fusion

Map & Positioning Redundancy => Path

High-precision map & REM redundancy

GPS+IMU positioning redundancy

Compared to AUDI, this pattern has taken a step forward.

Assist: Altera's Cyclone V SoC FPGAs: Processing Logic

redundancy

32-bit TriCore Fail Safe

Core processing section

NVIDIA Tegra K1 Processor: A Large Number of Operations

Periphery

Camera = "MobilEye EyeQ3: Handle the front camera, here is the supporting role.

Ultrasonic

77G Radar

24G radar

Ultrasonic

In a sense, the success or failure is determined by the full use of the visual system, which determines the cost and efficiency of the entire system.

In contrast, I believe that AUDI also needs to pull more helpers to fight together. In simple terms, it is now a German car company that has taken US and global technology companies together to create a digital computing platform that will cooperate with Germany's chassis electronics and EE bus to innovate and evolve.

1) Tesla's accidents are more of a wave on the road ahead. After the big coalition war starts, automatic driving is not a company's business. Now it is an allied period.

2) This is more than an input. It is a charisma, and it is also a long-term combat capability.
