Intel Corp. says it will work with Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo self-driving vehicle unit to develop technologies to support SAE Level 4 and 5 autonomous driving systems.
Intel began supplying chips for Google's autonomous vehicle program, which was renamed Waymo late last year, in 2009. But this is the first time Waymo/Google has acknowledged a collaboration with any supplier.
Intel’s involvement expanded when Waymo began working with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV on automated versions of the carmaker’s Chrysler Pacifica hybrid-electric minivan. The prototype vehicles feature Intel technology for sensor processing, general computing and connectivity.
Waymo cars with Intel technology have logged 3 million miles of real-world driving more self-driving car miles, which the partners say is more than any other autonomous fleet in the U.S. Intel also is expanding into sensor technology for automated vehicles with its $15 billion acquisition earlier this year of imaging specialist Mobileye N.V.
