And they need even more computing power if they are to negotiate city traffic automatically, with input sourced from an array of disparate surround sensors. In their alliance to put highly automated and driverless vehicles on urban streets, Bosch and Daimler have specified the computing power needed for their prospective system. The two companies have selected and signed an agreement with the U.S. AI computing company Nvidia as a supplier for the artificial intelligence (AI) platform they need. AI is an important building block in fully automated and driverless vehicles\u2019 network of several individual ECUs (Electronic control units). Under this contract, Nvidia will provide its Drive Pegasus platform powered by high performance AI automotive processors along with system software that will process the vehicle-driving algorithms generated by Bosch and Daimler using machine-learning methods. As a result, the ECU network will reach a computing capacity of hundreds of trillion operations per second. This is akin to the performance delivered by at least six synchronized, highly advanced deskside computer workstations. Bosch and Daimler will also be able to tap Nvidia\u2019s expertise to help develop the platform.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sensor data processed within fractions of a second<\/strong><br \/>\nA versatile, redundant, and fail-operational systems architecture is needed to make automated driving in cities a reality. The performance bar for the networked ECUs is no lower, as navigating city traffic is a tremendous amount of work. This network handles all the information gathered and transmitted by disparate radar, video, lidar, and ultrasonic sensors. Just one video sensor, such as Bosch\u2019s stereo video camera, generates 100 gigabytes of data in just one kilometer. The ECU network combines data sourced from all the surround sensors in a process called sensor fusion. Within fractions of a second, it assesses this information and plans the trajectory of the vehicle. This is as fast as the sensation of touch that needs between 20 and 500 milliseconds to reach the human brain. Bosch and Daimler bring many years of experience to the development of functional safety systems. To achieve maximum safety and reliability, the necessary computing operations are done by a number of circuits in parallel. In the unlikely event of a malfunction, the results of these parallel calculations can be accessed in a flash.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/visual_urbanmobility.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2809\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2809\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/?attachment_id=2809\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/visual_urbanmobility.jpg?fit=3906%2C2812\" data-orig-size=\"3906,2812\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"visual_urbanmobility\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/visual_urbanmobility.jpg?fit=980%2C705\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2809\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/visual_urbanmobility.jpg?resize=300%2C216\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/visual_urbanmobility.jpg?resize=300%2C216 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/visual_urbanmobility.jpg?resize=768%2C553 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/visual_urbanmobility.jpg?resize=1024%2C737 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/visual_urbanmobility.jpg?resize=210%2C151 210w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/visual_urbanmobility.jpg?resize=1536%2C1106 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/visual_urbanmobility.jpg?resize=1960%2C1411 1960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/visual_urbanmobility.jpg?w=2940 2940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>ECU network to be integrated into battery cells\u2019 cooling circuit<\/strong><br \/>\nThe high computing capacity and the huge number of operations to be performed mean that the ECU network needs to be cooled.
