Intel Corp. will deploy 25 self-driving test cars later this year in California and then Arizona.
CEO Brian Krzanich tells Automotive News it intends to add additional batches of 25 per quarter in Europe, Israel and the U.S. until it reaches 100 vehicles by this time next year. The test fleet, first announced by Intel in August, will use a wide variety of models from multiple carmakers.
Intel, which acquired Israeli-based Mobileye in August for $15 billion, has supplied computer chips to Waymo—Google’s autonomous car project—for several years. The new tests will be Intel’s first large-scale evaluation of its Xeon control processor coupled with Mobileye’s EyeQ sensor and imaging technology.
The two-chip combination enables Level 4 autonomous driving, according to Intel. Level 4 indicates a system that can automatically control a vehicle under almost all conditions, including safety bringing a vehicle to a stop if the driver fails to take control when requested.
