Quando si continua a confondere FCA con FIAT....

L'ironia questa sconosciuta eh... ??

[jameson]

Domandone da millemila milioni de euri : quanto c'entra (se c'entra...) la presenza di MM in FCA nella conclusione di un accordo del genere ? 

 

FCA will bring engineering and other technical resources and expertise to the cooperation, as well as its significant sales volumes, geographic reach and long-time experience in North America.

Credo che il comunicato riguardi soprattutto Magneti Marelli.

Lasciatemi comunque felicitarmi del fatto che gli sviluppi concreti sull'ausilio alla guida che si prospettano permetteranno di estendere notevolmente l'età in cui si può condurre (o essere condotti da) un'automobile. Ottime notizie per un paese di vecchi, specie per quelli che vivono soli e/o fuori mano.

un'auto a guida semi-autonoma  tipo la classe E con a bordo tutto il possibile come assistenze (vabbè con anche tutta l'elettronica di controllo extra assistenze di guida, motore ,telaio, clima, infotainment ecc)  ha 100 MILIONI di righe di SW scritto appositamente,

 

per me il grosso (se non l'enorme) è il Sistema Operativo della macchina autonoma.

Ecco. Quando leggo ste cose mi viene da riderissimo a pensare che c'è qualcuno che pensa che un certo brand stia sviluppando da solo queste tecnologie e sia all'avanguardia del campo e per questo molto innovativo.

 

Come per Il 90% dell'infortainment e dell'automotive lighting, che ormai paiono essere l'unica innovazione degna di nota nel campo.

Sì ma non è solo quello, l'integrazione di sensori e attuatori e l'apprendimento del sistema (reti neurali ecc) sono quello che fanno la differenza. Con un alto livello di "apprendimento" lato software puoi risparmiare molto a livello hardware, la "piattaforma" è per forza di cose qualcosa di integrato e dallo sviluppo organico

ad occhio lo sviluppo SW è fondamentale per risparmiare peso e costi di HW, si mettono insieme anche per quello IMHO, anche perché poi gli aggiornamenti sulla scorta dei dati di feedback sono molto più rapidi ed efficaci.

 

insomma il classico caso di tecnologia elettronica a prescindere dall'automotive.

DETROIT and MILAN, September 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

• Magneti Marelli acquires a stake in the company and enters into a technical and commercial cooperationagreement 

Modular “Smart Corner” Concept by Magneti Marelli (PRNewsfoto/Magneti Marelli SpA)

• LeddarTech is a Canadian company that develops a proprietary LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) technology integrated into semiconductors and sensor modules for self-driving cars and driver assistance systems. LeddarTech specializes in solid-state LiDAR systems that use infrared light to monitor the area around them 

• LiDAR technology naturally aligns with the evolution of Magneti Marelli Automotive Lighting technologies towards autonomous driving purposes, building on the innovative "Smart Corner" solution  presented at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.  

Magneti Marelli has acquired a stake in LeddarTech Inc., a worldwide leader in solid state LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) sensing technology. Magneti Marelli and LeddarTech have also entered into a technical and commercial cooperation agreement to jointly develop complete LiDAR systems aimed at autonomous driving applications and destined for integration in automotive lighting products for OEMs worldwide.

LiDAR is a sensor technology based on laser light that - in combination with cameras and radar - will enable autonomous driving levels 2 through 5 (from partial to full driving automation, as defined by SAE International's standard). 

"Our know-how in high-end lighting technologies paves the way to new applications aimed at autonomous driving systems, which will be crucial in the future of automotive"- said Pietro Gorlier, CEO of Magneti Marelli. "The investment in LeddarTech, with its proven and proprietary competence in solid-state LiDAR sensors, provides Magneti Marelli with the opportunity to partner with a technology leader with key expertise in this strategically important sector."

Autonomous driving requires a range of sensors to provide information which enables the car to understand and navigate the environment. LiDAR technology is particularly suitable due to its advanced features, including precise object localization and multiple objects detection even if they are moving, or in difficult lighting and weather conditions.

Founded in 2007 in Quebec City, LeddarTech is a reference in optical detection and ranging technology. Thanks to its unique approach in remote object detection, the company has gained a leadership position in LiDAR.

In particular, LeddarTech develops solid-state LiDAR systems, which provide reliable, high-performing and cost effective sensors. LeddarTech uses patented signal acquisition and processing techniques that are used to generate cleaner return signals with better range and sensitivity over other solid-state LiDAR solutions. 

Magneti Marelli has already started to exploit its electronics and lighting know-how, coupling them in the perspective of autonomous driving technology. The first development is the "Smart Corner" solution, already exhibited at CES Las Vegas 2017, that uses the areas of the car traditionally reserved for lighting systems - i.e. the corners - to bring together the various sensors useful for autonomous driving into one unit. Integrated into the advanced projector headlamps and tail lamps are solid state LiDAR, cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors to create a modular, self-contained, efficient solution to package and locate the many sensors required to support autonomous capability.
