Toyota, GM, Nvidia, Bosch and others form new autonomous driving tech consortium
That means there’s plenty of chance for things like the brand-new “Autonomous Vehicle Computing Consortium” (AVCC) announced today. The group’s goal is to work together in order to “resolve some of the most significant challenges to release self-driving lorries at scale,” which quite plainly translates into putting together the cumulative efforts of some of those who stand to acquire most from autonomy becoming a commercially viable technology, in order to speed up stated commercialization. Step one will be setting up a set of recommended specifications, essentially, describing what size, temperature, power usage and security requirements AV system architectures and computers ought to adhere to.
