According to foreign media reports, Perrone Robotics, a Intel invested company, has made new progress in vehicle research and development. The first 29 autopilot cars are being tested in Virginia, us. Act in a diametrically opposite way, most of the current automated driving vehicles are developed based on networking technology or artificial intelligence. Perrone Robotics is doing the opposite thing and launching self driving cars that do not rely on artificial intelligence or cloud functions. Perron robotics, headquartered in Virginia, USA, has built a test track and designed a general robot software platform named Max, which is used to guide test vehicles to drive independently. During the test, the self driving vehicle is completely independent of the cloud function or the street infrastructure. It can avoid pedestrians or other obstacles through sensors, and change the driving state according to traffic lights. Dave hofert, marketing director of Perron robotics, said that Max platform can run on four core Intel chips without NVIDIA's large parallel processing chip, and the running cost is very low. Instead of relying on artificial intelligence technology, Max platform uses a large number of sensors to determine the operation instructions of the vehicle. This means that vehicles equipped with Max platform can complete the installation work in a few hours and drive smoothly on the road. Perrone Robotics's R & D team does not exceed 50 people, and the company says it will deploy fully automatic driving vehicles in the next 1 years for passenger or mining purposes. Perron robotics is currently in the second round of financing, with Intel participating in the first three years ago.
