According to foreign media reports, Volkswagen Group USA and Aquantia Corp, Nvidia, Bosch, and four major suppliers in the mainland have formed an alliance to study how to make automatic driving a difficult technical problem.
The alliance, called the Networking for Autonomous Vehicles Alliance (NAV), will focus on some complex topics such as: improving the composition of electrical circuits so that vehicles can transmit larger amounts of data. The alliance hopes to attract the participation of other car manufacturers and suppliers and work together to promote the development of autonomous driving technology.
The global automotive industry has entered the stage of developing self-driving vehicles, and some initial stages of autonomous driving technology have begun to move toward the mass market. However, more and more people are concerned that the technology does not have a standard path, and that automakers go it alone and face high costs in introducing technical solutions. One of the key issues is how to transmit large amounts of power data through vehicle systems such as radar sensors, braking and steering, so that the vehicle can make safety decisions in minutes and seconds.
The organization identified five specific goals in its original mission:
Manufacturers agree on new Gigabit Ethernet-related new technology specifications for autonomous vehicles; Create generic procedures and test requirements for vehicle computers and sensors in terms of safety and reliability; Promote the implementation of products that comply with the new regulations And solutions; work with the Global Standards Institute and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers to promote industry standardization; and better educate the market on the requirements of autonomous vehicle networks.
On June 26, local time, Aquan Bar-Niv, vice president of strategic marketing at Aquantia Corporation, announced that "The on-vehicle network for autonomous driving requires high-bandwidth features that were previously the most demanding data center applications. The creation of the NAV Alliance and Focusing on multi-gigabit Ethernet will help drive the establishment of strong industry standards."
Aquantia provides ultra-high-speed interconnectivity for self-driving vehicles, enabling the in-vehicle network to transmit more data faster through copper cables, thereby enabling automakers to use fewer copper cables per vehicle. This is important because autonomous vehicles rely on sensors such as high-resolution cameras and lidars. Kurt Lehmann, chief technology officer of Continental Group, said that the NAV alliance has paved the way for a new generation of high-speed automotive data networks.
Another member of the alliance, Bosch, has partnered with Nvidia to provide on-board computers for autonomous vehicles using artificial intelligence. In a written statement, Viktor Molnar, Bosch’s senior vice president of the body electronics division stated in a written statement, “The vision for achieving fully automated driving and zero accident rates depends to a large extent on the seamless connection of telematics. Together with our alliance partners, we are Establish a safe, reliable, and redundant standardization network to contribute and promote autonomous driving early."
Matthias Erb, Volkswagen’s chief engineer in the United States, said that working with other members of the alliance to improve the safety and ease of use of autonomous vehicles will help bring autopilot vehicles to market faster.
