The next important step for Intel - the creation of a division Automated Driving Group, which will develop components and technologies needed to automate the process of car control. For the opportunity to lead this activity Doug Davis postponed retirement after more than 30 years at Intel. At the same time he retained the post of vice-president of the corporation. Division Automated Solutions Division, which will move in the same vein with ADG, will be headed by Cathy Winter, previously worked for Delphi Automotive as vice-president. Prototype "robomobilya" with equipment More Delphi in 2015, was able to pass through a few US states without the intervention .
In general, as explained to Reuters , this collaboration, Intel and Delphi will not be limited. Together with the accursed from programs autopilot Tesla Israeli company MobilEye partners will develop the components of autonomous control systems of the vehicle. Intel will participate in the project some microprocessor with a high degree of integration, which is specially developed for use in vehicles. Solutions will be tested on vehicles for commercial use in closed areas - for example, at the airport or other perimeters that have no communication with the public roads. Its system of "autopilot" the Delphi now experiencing in Singapore and plans to select one of the cities in the US before the end of the year to conduct appropriate experiments. In the following year to join the test program is one of the European cities.
In January, Delphi and MobilEye show their developments at CES 2017 in Las Vegas. Existing prototypes of cars with "autopilot" Delphi use expensive and bulky "lidar" electromechanical type to determine the distance to obstacles while driving.
