Bosch company in the creation of autopilot systems for transport will rely on the support of NVIDIA , which provides modern Tegra processors. The competition for the right to deprive drivers of work arises not only between automakers, but also between suppliers of auto components and on-board systems. If Bosch cooperates with NVIDIA, then Delphi actively interacts with Audi, also relying on the NVIDIA component base. On the other hand, Intel is betting on Mobileye, and enlists the support of BMW. At the same time, all three German automakers are shareholders of the cartographic business of HERE,.
As noted by the Reuters agency, Daimler auto recently announced the beginning of cooperation with Bosch in the field of creating robotic taxis capable of independently traveling to the client on a call via a mobile application and moving it to the destination without human intervention in the vehicle management process. It is planned that the first fruits of joint partners activities we will see at the beginning of the next decade. Bosch will undertake the development of software and algorithms that automate the process of driving.
In structure Daimler, as it is specified, till now there were two commands of the engineers working over "autopilot". One group of specialists calculated the evolutionary model for the development of driver assistance systems, the other relied on more radical ideas that initially gave priority to automation. Now Daimler specialists will be able to focus on the creation of cars, and partners from Bosch will improve the management systems. The cooperation of the companies will help them to resist newly appeared competitors from among "information aggregators" like Uber and Didi, who also develop robotic taxis.
