STOCKHOLM, June 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Autoliv and Volvo Car Corporation, with Zenuity, a newly-formed
automotive software development joint venture equally owned by
Autoliv and Volvo Car Corporation, will work together with NVIDIA
to develop next generation self-driving car technologies, with a
target to bring level 4 autonomous driving to the market by
2021.
As part of the agreement Autoliv, Volvo, and Zenuity will use
NVIDIA's AI car computing platform as the foundation for their own
advanced software development, bringing together two of the most
respected companies in automotive safety with one of the world's
leading artificial intelligence companies.
Jan Carlson, Chairman, President
and CEO of Autoliv, said: "We now have full access to the
leading computing platform for autonomous driving. Autoliv, Volvo
Cars and NVIDIA share the same vision for safe, autonomous driving.
This cooperation will further advance our leading ADAS and
autonomous driving product and solution offerings to the
market."
"This cooperation with NVIDIA places Volvo, Autoliv and Zenuity
at the forefront of the fast moving market to develop next
generation autonomous driving capabilities and will speed up the
development of Volvo's own commercially available autonomous drive
cars," said Håkan Samuelsson, President and Chief Executive of
Volvo Cars.
Jensen Huang, Chief Executive of NVIDIA, said: "Artificial
intelligence is the essential tool for solving the incredibly
demanding challenge of autonomous driving. We are building on our
earlier collaboration with Volvo to create production ready
vehicles that will make driving safer, lead to greener cities and
reduce congestion on our roads."
Autoliv, Volvo Car Corporation, Zenuity, and NVIDIA will work
together to develop systems that can utilize deep learning -- a
form of artificial intelligence -- to recognize objects in their
environment, anticipate potential threats and navigate safely.
These systems can compare real-time situational awareness with a
known high-definition map, enabling them to plan a safe route and
drive precisely along it, adjusting to ever-changing circumstances.
They also perform other critical functions such as stitching camera
inputs to create a complete surround-view of the car.
The cooperation with NVIDIA will complement Zenuity's existing
mission to provide Autoliv autonomous vehicle related software to
third party OEMs using Autoliv's established and broad sales,
marketing and distribution network and to provide Volvo Car
Corporation with self-driving software for its own vehicles.
