Daimler AG and China’s Tsinghua University have extended their 6-year-old joint research agreement for another three years, focusing on autonomous driving and “intelligent” mobility.
The Tsinghua Daimler Joint Research Center for Sustainable Transportation has expanded in recent years to include virtual reality technologies and joint education and research internships. Earlier this month, Daimler became the first foreign carmaker to receive approval to test Level 4 autonomous vehicles in Beijing.
The partners began collecting traffic data from urban roads, highways and intersections in 2013. Their research was expanded to vision-based detection of “vulnerable road users” in 2015, creating a database of 40,000 bicycle and motorcycle images.

Shifting Landscape of Technology Is a Never-Ending Education
Brent Donaldson, Senior Editor, Modern Machine Shop and Additive Manufacturing Magazine discusses how the shifting landscape of technology that all of Gardner’s writers and editors cover is a never-ending education. If we are truly doing our jobs, we will never feel like we’ve mastered them. As I continue writing and reporting for AM and MMS, it’s easy to imagine how these technologies’ interdependency will continue to grow. It also seems clear that this kind of reporting — the kind that requires editors to experience and share new manufacturing technologies and strategies — is the kind of reporting that only Gardner can produce with any depth. I’m grateful to be part of it.
