Delphi Automotive (NYSE: DLPH), the world's leading auto parts manufacturer, will jointly develop new technologies with Ottomatika, Inc. to accelerate the development of autonomous driving technology. Ottomatika was founded by Carnegie Mellon University and is primarily dedicated to providing advanced automated driving software.
As the first company to launch an automotive radar system, Delphi will integrate its active safety technology with Ottomatika's autonomous driving software to form a new technology platform that enables vehicles to make their own decisions in the city's road or highway environment. The platform is adaptable and can be expanded or upgraded by updating software. In addition, it will also support "vehicle and environment" (V2X) communications.
“Most of the existing technologies have some limitations in making decisions in a highly complex real environment,†said Jeff Owens, chief technology officer at Delphi. “The cooperation of Delphi and Ottomatika has been positive for the realization of autonomous driving technology. Promote the role, the intelligent degree of the vehicle will be greatly improved."
Integrating the advantages of both parties, the automotive technology platform developed by Delphi in cooperation with Ottomatika can make complex decisions in an instant, such as parking and advancing at intersections, determining the timing of parallelism on the freeway, or calculating the circumvention of cyclists on city roads. The safest way, etc.
Delphi will support this cooperation by investing in Ottomatika. The two parties will work together to establish a long-term and short-term road map for steadily improving the degree of automation of vehicle driving in the coming years.
“Ottomatika will actively use its breakthrough technologies and accumulated long-term experience in vehicle automation,†said Raj Rajkumar, co-founder and CEO of Ottomatika, Inc., “I believe that cooperation with Delphi will hopefully address the issue of autonomous driving. Challenges make the road safer.â€
