No map needed?

Maps, and in particular high-definition/3D maps, are one of the main pillars of the next generation autonomous driving’s systems. However, a new “map-free” approach is emerging. Bill Hurley, Tech Briefs’ Digital Editorial Manager, posted...

ESCAPE Core Features

ESCAPE Core Features

Autonomous or Driver-less Vehicles are on the rise worldwide

European Global Navigation Satellite Systems Agency (GSA)

“The drive to automation is fuelling Research & Development in location technologies. Autonomous car is probably the most challenging concept, and is also the area where most research and innovation is happening, both by “traditional” automotive players and the IT industry. The ESCAPE project is developing a versatile solution to address the needs of safety-critical applications”

GNSS User Technology Report, 2016

McKinsey&Company

“Regulation and consumer acceptance represent additional hurdles for autonomous vehicles. However, once thesechallenges are addressed, autonomous vehicles present a tremendous value offering for consumers. A progressive scenario could see ~50 percent of passenger vehicles sold in 2030 being highly autonomous and ~15 percent being fully autonomous”

Automotive Revolution – Perspective Towards 2030, 2016

PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC)

“Given how complex the effort to secure the connected car is, and the sheer number of different players whose software is used to keep the car connected, securing these vehicles must be a collaborative effort. There are and always will be risks, but those risks can be mitigated if the many challenges – of organization, development, and testing – are met squarely and overcome”
