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.

I’m grateful to be part of it.
