Intel: Safety is the Primary Factor Driving the Development of the Automated Driving Industry

With the development of automatic driving technology, more and more companies have joined the ranks of auto-pilot research and development. Regardless of whether they are traditional car companies, technology companies or Internet companies, they have made active arrangements in the field of automatic driving. In addition to North America, Europe and Japan, as the world’s largest auto market for nine years in succession, China’s various regions have also issued relevant documents such as autonomous driving road test management rules, and started to build autonomous driving automotive test demonstration areas. Testing licenses for road sections. This series of initiatives will undoubtedly promote the rapid development of the automated driving industry. However, as the self-driving cars will be deployed on the roads of the world in the order of millions, the problem of security becomes more and more. The more important it is. In this regard, Intel emphasized that security is the primary factor driving the development of the autopilot industry.

Automated driving, safety first From an industrial point of view, self-driving cars must achieve four goals: safety, transparency, practicality, and economy.

Autopilot will affect the lives of residents in every city. Therefore, to achieve the deployment of large-scale autonomous vehicles, ensuring safety becomes a common primary goal for the development of the entire industry. Secondly, the entire auto-pilot industry should keep information transparent to passengers. Let passengers fully understand the operation of self-driving cars to help them improve their confidence in the safety of cars. Third, on the premise of ensuring safety and transparency, they must also ensure that passengers are able to be complex in an open manner. Driving under the road conditions, that is, the self-driving car can really run up. Finally, economically speaking, self-driving cars should make people affordable, and the whole society should be able to enjoy the safety and convenience brought by self-driving cars. Sex, not just for the few people in the world.

But in the final analysis, can the successful completion of self-driving cars? Can the four goals be achieved? Safety is the only prerequisite, and it is also the biggest challenge that the industry has to deal with. At the moment, the development of automatic driving urgently requires the industry to establish safety standards as soon as possible. Good security solution.

Intel is in action and actively promotes the research of safe technology for autonomous driving. Based on years of successful experience in the field of automotive assisted driving, Intel and its subsidiary Mobileye proposed a formula to verify the safety of autonomous vehicles in 2017: Responsibility Sensitive Security Model (RSS) , Responsibility Sensitive Safety) In the 'safe state' defined by the mathematical formula, no matter what other vehicles react, no self-driving car can cause accidents. Just like the senior chief engineer and chief system architect of Intel's driverless solutions. According to Jack Weast, the purpose of the RSS is to ensure that self-driving cars do not harm humans or other objects in the car, so RSS is actually a basic principle for autonomous driving, just like Asimov Three Laws. The reason for robots.

RSS can make self-driving cars open, transparent and verifiable, ensuring that everyone involved can trust auto-driving cars. More importantly, Intel and Mobileye see RSS as a resource shared with the industry. Is to exchange ideas with the industry, and jointly accelerate the process of establishing industry safety standards.

At the same time, Intel and Mobileye’s 100 self-driving cars have already begun the first phase of testing in Jerusalem. This test proved that the RSS model can improve security. Intel and Mobileye's solutions are currently very effective. Solution. Intel and Mobileye have also publicly shared the safety systems currently used by the test fleet and expect to form technology-neutral industry-leading standards in cooperation with other companies. In the near future, these test fleets will also respond in the United States. The road tests, and the use of Mobileye technology BMW auto-driving cars will also be launched in China drive test. All drive test data and experience will help the RSS model continues to improve, but also for the localization of automatic driving innovation Contributions.

However, to achieve the early sunset of autonomous driving, the research of its security technology needs a transparent, open system, but also needs extensive cooperation between industry, universities and research institutes to drive the rapid development of the industry. To this end, Intel launched Intel Intelligent Network in China. The University of Carnival Cooperative Research Center signed a cooperation agreement with Tsinghua University and the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to jointly promote the research of auto-driving cars related topics to support the innovation and development of China's intelligent networked vehicles. Among them, auto-driving car safety is The main direction of the subject research.

Needless to say, the ultimate development of the autopilot industry is to win the trust of passengers. Only by solving safety problems, can auto-pilot achieve true landing and mass production. Just as Mobileye CEO Professor Shashua previously stated: If there is no safety standard, then all autos The investment in driving a car may eventually become an expensive scientific and technological experiment.
