Israeli startup Innoviz Technologies Inc. has raised an additional $8 million in funding as an extension of its Series B round first announced in September.

The additional funding for the round comes from Samsung Catalyst, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. early stage venture capital fund, and SoftBank Ventures Korea, the Korean VC arm of Japanese telecommunications giant SoftBank Group Corp.

Founded in 2016, Innoviz develops technologies for autonomous driving that includes smart 3D sensing, sensor fusion and accurate mapping and localization. The company’s first product to market, now scheduled to be released in early 2019, is a high-definition solid-state LiDAR that the company claim to deliver superior performance at a significantly lower cost and smaller size than existing solutions.

Subaru has installed new tracks and made a number of changes to existing facilities at its Bifuka proving ground, in order to help it develop advanced driver assistance technologies.

In addition to a new administration building and general upgrades to all of the facility’s test roads, Subaru has created a new urban test track and given a major upgrade to Bifuka’s high-speed circuit, bringing it closer to the real-world conditions found on many restricted access motorways.

Now totalling 4.2 kilometres in length, Bifuka’s high-speed course includes gentle curves typical of intercity motorways, and merging and diverging lanes simulating roadway interchanges, or the entry/exit ramps to fuel and food stops.

There’s also a multi-lane section resembling a four-lane road, and a paved concrete section similar to the surface type seen on American and Australian freeways.

Subaru’s new urban road course has a variety of two-lane roads with on-coming traffic. It also features roundabouts, and intersections with and without turning lanes and zebra crossings.

The company says the new tracks will become operational some time during November 2017, and will help Subaru hit its target of becoming the “number one brand for overall safety”.

The upgraded Bifuka track will be used to develop a new version of the EyeSight-based safety system that can eliminate collisions with cyclists, pedestrians and other vehicles at intersections.

Also slated for development at the proving ground is the company’s already announced automated lane changing feature, which uses mapping data, radar guidance, GPS location information and the car’s stereoscopic cameras. This system is due to debut in 2020

Who is helping who?

Although we are nowhere near experiencing the joys of being chauffeured around in an L5 (steering wheel optional), we have reached some sort of 'tipping point' in the shape of an Audi. The carmaker claims that its next A8 sedan will be the first production vehicle to be equipped with L3 technology aka AI traffic jam pilot system. The technology handles the task of driving in traffic jam or slow-moving highway traffic up to 60km/h (37.3mph). With traffic jam pilot engaged, drivers no longer need to continuously keep their eyes on the road but must take over when the system prompts them. Yet the ADAS technology fitted to the A8 has some limitations. For example, it is only intended to be activated in relative slow-moving traffic and only on divided roads where a physical barrier separates vehicles driving in the opposite direction, i.e. a motorway/freeway. However, Audi has higher speed ambitions for its 2019 A8.

Audi is not alone in its L3 aspirations. The 2018 Cadillac CT6 will feature GM's Super Cruise technology, offering hands-free driving for highway speeds (whereas the A8 system will shut down above 37 mph). Unlike other driver assistance systems, Super Cruise uses a driver attention system and precision LiDAR map data. These systems are added to the network of cameras and infrared sensors in the CT6, providing a more data-rich approach to driver assistance.

An analyst note from Deutsche Bank has raised its rating for GM shares to buy from hold, maintaining that the company is ahead in the race to deploy AVs and will gain a large market share of the autonomous driving market. Last month, analyst Rod Lache explained in the note that GM's AVs will be ready for commercial deployment, without human drivers, 'much sooner than widely expected and that could it be 'within quarters, not years' and potentially years ahead of competitors. It is hardly surprising then to learn recently that GM plans to test vehicles in fully autonomous mode in New York state early next year, according to governor Andrew Cuomo. The planned testing by GM and its self-driving unit, Cruise Automation, will be the first by a L4 AV in the state, Cuomo said in a statement cited by Reuters.

Meanwhile, Volvo is reported to have stated that it will make an L4 XC90. The carmaker currently has 100 autonomous cars testing on Beijing roads.

Ford also now has its sights set on L4. The carmaker has previously claimed that it is aiming to have an AV (L4) in commercial operation by 2021 and wants to have 'high volume' (over 100,000 units a year) to maximise the business opportunity via ride-hailing or ride-sharing. Ford sees a major opportunity to exploit 'transportation as a service' in urban areas during the 2020s and by 2030 it forecasts that AVs will account for 20 percent of all vehicle sales.

Last August, BMW and Intel signed a memorandum of understanding with the intention for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) to be the first automaker to join them in developing an autonomous driving platform for global deployment. In July 2016, BMW Group, Intel, and Mobileye (the latter is now owned by Intel) announced that they were joining forces to make self-driving vehicles a reality by collaborating to bring solutions for highly automated driving (L3) and fully automated driving (L 4/5) into production by 2021. Since then, they have been designing and developing a scalable architecture that can be used by multiple automakers around the world, while at the same time maintaining each automaker's unique brand identities. The partnership between BMW and Mobileye has also seen Continental join (last June) and, this month, Magna.

Other automakers, including Toyota, Tesla, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, Renault-Nissan and Hyundai-Kia are also pushing back the technical boundaries.

One small step for man …

Although a L4 car is just surfacing, a L5 AV – that neither needs nor wants your help - is a giant leap for mankind. Few, if any, automakers have set out a firm timeline for such cars to hit the road. During the most recent consumer electronics show (CES), Toyota's Research Institute CEO, Dr Gill Pratt said that full autonomous driving (L5) is not even close. He used a speech at the carmaker's press conference to emphasise the complexities are manifold and will take quite some time to overcome, explaining: "None of us in the automobile or IT industries are close to achieving true level 5 autonomy. It will take many years of machine learning and many more miles than anyone has logged of both simulated … and real-world testing to achieve the perfection required for level 5 autonomy."

While you can pick up a car today that will take control of the steering and braking – buying you time to make a few notes ahead of a meeting - there is nothing (yet) available that will allow us to take a nap at the wheel, however you define it.

Zenrin and Zenrin DataCom, Tom Tom International (Tom Tom), a provider of location information services, announced on October 27, 2017 that it will jointly develop traffic information services for Japan, holding a press conference in Tokyo.

Combine map information of Zenrin and traffic big data and analytical techniques collected by Tom Tom to provide highly accurate traffic congestion information, calculate accurate arrival time to the destination, predict the last traffic jam Develop. For enterprises that already have traffic congestion information services, we will continue to converge data with new services while offering it in a form suitable for delivery.

We will proceed with the verification of the accuracy of traffic information service in FY 2018 and commercialize it, and provide it for domestic automobile manufacturers, car navigation manufacturers, navigation application vendors, etc. In addition, the results of the joint development will be deployed to the navigation service "Always NAVI" through Zenrin Data.com, and also considering offering to NTT DoCoMo

In this collaboration, we combine Tom Tom 's big data analysis technology and Zenrin' s map data, Zenrin Data Com 's application development and information distribution infrastructure management.

Tom Tom offers map services in 68 countries worldwide. Tom Tom Traffic, a traffic information service, is gaining 500 billion global location information from partner companies such as car navigation systems, SIM, smartphone terminals, Uber and others manufactured by the company. Tom Tom uses analysis artificial intelligence (AI) technology and machine learning to analyze and deliver information to users. Through this collaboration, the company will be able to use the map of Japan of Zenrin and will be able to offer Tom Tom Traffic in Japan.

"With respect to the field of probe information, Tom Tom already has large-scale data and has established technology to analyze and distribute information for 500 million units every 5 seconds Global achievement It is a big advantage, although specific numbers can not be announced, in Japan too it can get a lot of data in cooperation with telecommunications carriers. "(Zenrin DataCom President Tatsuhiko Shimizu)

Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa of Senior Executive Officer Senior Executive Officer Second Business Division explained about this collaboration "As the first step of the map ecosystem's initiative to put dynamic data gathered at Tom Tom on the map of Zenrin and return it to users I will explain. "I would like to work on creating a delivery mechanism to allow dynamic information to move on a live map so that the map can be used alive.In an automatic driving vehicle, information such as sensors is gathered in the cloud and analyzed, and a map It will be used after returning it to each car after reflecting it in. "The map's ecosystem is involved not only in automobiles but in various industries" (Fujisawa).

Tom Tom and Zenrin collaborate with cooperative areas covered by Japan's high-precision three-dimensional map company "Dynamic Map Infrastructure" to aim for the generation and provision of information for dynamic maps. We will also consider efforts to update map information sequentially.

Competition is not only HERE, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM as well

Antoine Saucier, Managing Director at TomTom, commented on the market environment surrounding location information services as follows. "Each company is making various announcements, what matters is what kind of technology background it is doing and what we will invest in what we are trying to compare with the past technology Regarding real-time traffic, we have over 10 years of experience and history, we will continue research, development and investment in the future, so we have leadership.The competition is not only HERE but also Google and cloud infrastructure " Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, etc. that offer Amazon Web Services (AWS) are paying attention to big data, and players are beginning to increase. Even so, I will promote correct collaboration like this one "(Saucier).

In June 2016, DMP was a planning company to consider considering working in cooperation with maintenance, demonstration and management of high precision 3D maps. The original capital is 300 million yen, and Mitsubishi Electric, Zenrin, Pasco, Eisan Technology, Increment · P, Toyota Map Master, Isuzu Motors, Suzuki, Toyota Motor, Nissan Motor, Hino Motors, Subaru (then Fuji Heavy Industries) Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi Motors established a joint investment beyond industries.

On June 13, 2017, which is one year since its establishment, DMP held a press conference in Tokyo and announced that it received a capital of 3.7 billion yen from major shareholders. The company name will be changed to "dynamic map base" on 30th June. The shareholding ratio after the capital increase will be 33.5% for Industrial Innovation Organization, 14% for Mitsubishi Electric, 12% for Zenlin and Pasco, 10% for Iissan Technology, and 8% for Increment · P and Toyota Map Master.

Mr. Tsukasa Nakajima, President of DMP, said, "Initially, the preparation period as a planning company was two years, but it accelerated the decision to commercialize in order to respond quickly to demand." In December 2016, DMP already prepared sample data for 500 km of highway including capital speed. By strengthening the system with capital increase, by 2018 we will complete high precision 3D map for all lines of highway and automobile exclusive road in Japan.

In addition to maintaining high-precision three-dimensional maps, we will continue to establish maintenance methods and collaborate with overseas markets. We are already practicing the utilization of point cloud information which is the basis of high precision 3 dimensional map in cooperation with the Metropolitan expressway and Yamato Transport, but in the future we will utilize drone and IoT (Internet 's Internet) We aim to establish maintenance based on groups other than group information.

We agreed to collaborate with HERE which is a major map data overseas. We will investigate whether common methods can be used, such as maintenance and maintenance of high precision 3D maps. "It will be necessary to cooperate with overseas map data giant, whether an automated driving car using map data with different methods of making runs runs and whether problems do not occur," Mr. Nakajima said. Cooperation with HERE is part of the "Hannover Declaration" announced that Japan and Germany will promote close cooperation towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Quasi-static information such as traffic regulations and road constructions, semi-dynamic information such as accidents and congestion, dynamic information such as surrounding vehicles, pedestrians and signals, real-time map Is called a dynamic map. Automatic driving vehicles are required for improving the accuracy of the vehicle position and reducing the load on the system. In addition to automatic driving technology, we are planning to apply it to disaster prevention and maintenance and management of social infrastructure. In addition, we plan to prepare for not only highway but also high-precision three-dimensional map of general road

Vraag mij dus af of DMP en Zenrin nog samenwerken met HERE en TT alleen Traffic Info levert bovenop de HD-Map van Zenrin (en HERE?). Of is HERE exit? Niet als ik deze week de berichten lees over de samenwerking Mitsubithi en HERE.

Nogmaals, iedereen doet het met iedereen.........en wat steeds vaker wordt herhaald ...........niemand kan het alleen.

Zonder wetgeving geen SDC
Zonder AI geen SDC
Zonder HD-Maps (incl. fabriek) geen SDC
Vandaar dat de CEO van Toyota net als steeds meer CEO's aangeeft dat L5 nog wel even duurt.

Het is aan TT om aan boord te zijn bij alle OEM's voor in elk geval ADAS en L4.

Succes morgen!!!

Weer een kandidaat minder die Sports zou kunnen kopen.
Under Armour will stop making fitness trackers and focus on software instead
Late last year, Under Armour showed no signs of slowing down its ambitions to become a major health and fitness tech player, having already released the Under Armour Band, the HealthBox and the Gemini 2 RE. Just a year later, however, it's announced its out of the fitness tracker game.

Allereerst bedankt voor je vertalingen uit het Japans over Zenrin etc. Ik denk dat je in beide alinea's hierboven gelijk hebt.

Ik kan de berichten, zowel van TT als van Zenrin zelf, niet anders lezen dan dat hun samenwerking vooral 'traffic' betreft. Dat is overigens niet niks, want tot nu toe was Japan wat verkeersinformatie betreft nogal selfsupporting en infrastructure-based. (Zie ook mijn post hier van 27 oktober, 10.09 uur.)

Qua maps lijkt Zenrin (en die fusieclub DMP) meer samen te willen werken met Here. Al valt me wat op in deze quote:

"We agreed to collaborate with HERE which is a major map data overseas. We will investigate whether common methods can be used, such as maintenance and maintenance of high precision 3D maps. "It will be necessary to cooperate with overseas map data giant, whether an automated driving car using map data with different methods of making runs runs and whether problems do not occur," Mr. Nakajima said."

3D maps dus, nergens valt de kreet "HD". Misschien zie ik er teveel in, maar toch: is de combi rond Here een andere weg in aan het slaan dan de TT/Bosch/Microsoft/... combi?
Traffic lijken ze opgegeven te hebben, die slag is door TT (definitief?) gewonnen. Kiezen ze bij maps ook langzamerhand een andere focus? Moet ik "3D" lezen als 'steetview-like'? Dit is een vraag, geen bewering.

Nog iets: heb gisteravond het uur lange college van Sashua (Mobileye) aangehoord, zie de link van Hik in de hype-cycle draad. Interessant verhaal over autonoom rijden i.h.a. (meen ik), maar over mapping en hun roadbook ging het hoogstens een minuut. Zag ik ook hier een zekere berusting in de overmacht van TT als het om mapping gaat?
Geen woord over de slechte optische leesbaarheid van hun 'landmarks' in het donker en bij slecht zicht. Over laterale lokalisatie: "vereist slechts 10 kB per km in de cloud".
Wel, ik schrijf het bijna met satanisch genoegen: RRS van Bosch/TT vereist slechts 5 kB per km, en is nog on-board 'gespeichert' ook, dus geen probleem als je een keer geen bereik hebt.

Ik herhaal: gaan de wegen van TT en Here zich scheiden?

PS. Wat gaat de koers van TT lekker de laatste weken! Mijn pensioengeld gaat steeds leuker ogen, en de stijging is in NL nog belastingvrij ook. Nou ja, op de VRH na dan, maar daar heeft J. de Mol veel meer last van dan ik.

Mag ik nog een anekdote kwijt? De dag is per slot van rekening nog niet echt begonnen. In mijn professionele verleden heb ik af en toe met Jappen te maken gehad, het betrof ISO-bijeenkomsten ohgv standaardisatie in de mobiele communicatie.

Bij een parallelsessie waren er een keer te weinig stoelen. Er was nog één stoel vrij, toen ik en een tiental Japanners binnen kwamen. Onder hen professoren en hotshots uit de industrie. Dat was ik niet, ik was een middelhoge ambtenaar uit NL.
Ik bleef beleefd staan, maar zij dwongen me bijna in die stoel te gaan zitten. Sommigen van hen waren ouder dan ik, maar ik had toen een beginnend grijs baardje. Was het dat?
Licht buigend ging ik zitten. Na afloop ging ik weg met 10 dankbare Japanse visitekaartjes in mijn hand.

In mijn hoofd zat het verhaal van de moeder van mijn geliefde. Die had het Jappenkamp overleefd.

@BDB

maps actually provide much more information to an autonomous vehicle. By redefining the “map,” we recreate the world’s features in high definition and three dimensions (3D), while precisely placing the car in that simulated world, using six degrees of freedom (6 DoF) and inertial data from the car’s sensors. Competing technologies work in varying degrees of two to three dimensions (2D)(3D). In real-time, vehicles using our software know precisely where they are with respect to our localization map. We give the car its location and orientation information in 6 DoF (localization in six degrees of freedom). Unique to our offerings, the vehicle can know exactly where to selectively focus attention in order to drive safely and efficiently (Augmented Reality Maps).
To understand this difference, consider present-day mobile phone maps. Although these maps tell a driver where to turn right and left on the road, they do not provide exact position and orientation, nor do they explain exactly where to devote a driver’s attention for navigation. By definition, a semantic map associates the plethora of various road objects to each other and codifies the behavioral rules and environmental cues that these associations afford. Based upon the current lane that a vehicle is occupying and its location/orientation, our HD Semantic Maps provide the car with detailed context and rules-based operational awareness of its surroundings reducing an autonomous vehicle’s “cognitive load,” by showing it exactly where it should be looking to understand the road infrastructure around it. With Civil Maps, an autonomous car does not have to “think” so hard to localize itself and navigate safely down the street.
