On January 4, 2017, BMW Group, Intel and Mobileye announced that approximately 40 BMW self-driving cars will begin road testing in the second half of 2017. This is an important step for the three companies to fully realize the goal of fully automatic driving. At a joint press conference during the CES, the three companies further revealed that these BMW 7 Series test vehicles will use Intel and Mobileye's cutting-edge technology to begin a global road test journey from the US and Europe.

The announcement is the first time that the BMW Group, Intel and Mobileye announced the progress of the fully automated driving program after they announced their cooperation in July last year. Since then, the three companies have been working on developing a scalable architecture. Other car developers and manufacturers can achieve first-class design and differentiated brands on this platform. These products offer a differentiated consumer experience from a single key integration module to a complete end-to-end solution. â€
Mr. Fu Lexi, a director of the BMW Group responsible for research and development, said: “Making full-automatic driving a reality is the common goal of BMW, Intel and Mobileye.
Intel Corporation CEO Ke Zaiqi said: "From the perspective of the industry, by sharing development costs and integrating resources to develop a fully automated driving platform, we have realized cost savings and development speed. This car-to-cloud system will Coherent and predictable behavior and will operate with the highest safety standards. That's why this collaboration is an icebreaker. Our dedicated team has clear common goals and an innovative, agile and responsible culture. â€
Professor Amnon Shashua, Co-founder, Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of Mobileye, said: "We have made significant progress in designing first-class fully automated driving solutions for highways and ordinary urban roads in the past six months. This is an expandable The solution to meet the unique needs of the car manufacturers involved in the project."
The three strong joint development of driverless technology
In this collaboration, the BMW Group will be responsible for driving control and dynamic performance, overall function safety assessment, simulation of high-performance engine settings, integral component integration, prototype production, and ultimately platform expansion through partner deployment.
Intel's innovative high-performance computing capabilities range from cars to data centers. The newly released Intel GO Automated Driving Solution delivers world-class processor and FPGA technology to balance performance and power consumption in the most efficient way while meeting the automotive industry's demanding requirements for heat dissipation and safety.
Mobileye contributed its proprietary EyeQ5 high-performance computer vision processor to deliver automotive-grade functional safety and low-power performance. EyeQ5 handles and deconstructs information from 360-degree panoramic vision sensors, as well as localization. The EyeQ5 combines Intel CPU and FPGA technology into a central computing platform that will be integrated into every fully automated vehicle.
Mobileye plans to further collaborate with the BMW Group to develop a sensor fusion solution that uses data from vision, radar and lidar sensors to create a complete vehicle perimeter environment model. The two sides will also develop driving strategies, including Mobileye's enhanced learning algorithms, which will give the artificial intelligence required by automotive systems to communicate safely in complex driving situations.
To further promote the development of fully automated driving platforms, the three companies plan to release hardware samples and software updates in the coming years. The BMW iNEXT, which is scheduled to be released in 2021, will be the cornerstone of the BMW Group's fully automated driving strategy. After this car, the BMW Group's brands will also launch highly automated models.
