While the for fully terms of implementation Autonomous vehicles is constantly changing, this doesn't slow down the growth of the automotive startup ecosystem. That some companies are still working over achieving the goal of level 5 autonomy, while others are addressing issues related to electric vehicles, cybersecurity, processor equipment, and other painful moments in the automotive industry.
We invite you to get acquainted with the newest automotive startups of 2020 who are already impacting the automotive industry. Parts 1.
Acerta: The mission of the canadian startup Acerta is to deliver first-level information to automotive equipment manufacturers and suppliers to improve product quality at every phase of the planing and manufacturing lifecycle. Acerta Cortex- is a data processing solution specifically designed for the automobile industry.
Cortex transforms any existing data storage structure into a "smart" processing center that permits a wide range of machine learning solutions to be implemented in a single framework. According to the company, Cortex "allows you to fight data separation, simplifies search and lowers management overhead costs ", and this work does not require labor-intensive data engineering.
Chanje: California – based startup Chanje is a new player in the electric transportation market. The company produces vehicles designed to travel the "last mile" of delivery, that is, transportation from the dispensation center to the final destination.
The Chanje V8100 is an all - electric medium-duty wagon that travels 150 miles on a one-time charge and holds 675 cubic feet, with a workload of 6,000 pounds.
GBatterries: The canadian company GBatteries is working to eliminate the main obstacle for electric vehicles — charging time. Vehicles with a gasoline refueling are much less environmentally friendly, but they do not take refueling hours to fill up.
GBatteries uses a combination of software and hardware to dramatically reduce the vehicle's charging time to five minutes. This uses hardware, as well as an I. I that generates complex profiles of charging pulses based on real-time monitoring and analysis of the internal state of the battery. GBatteries is developing a device for charging standard lithium-ion batteries that will work as fast as gasoline refueling.
GuardKnox: Israel has become famous for the emerging of companies with a new approach to cybersecurity, and GuardKnox is one of those companies. A cybersecurity car company has taken the technology used to keep Israeli fighter safe and transferred it to cars. GuardKnox release an electronic control unit (ECU) called the Secure Network Orchestrator (SNO). This unit protects every level of the car – from keyless opening to protecting the infotainment system.
GuardKnox says that their block can be implemented by first-level OEM's, even in the secondary market.
Humanising Autonomy: The problem with pedestrians is that they never behave the way you want them to, and they often act unpredictably. Humanising Autonomy, a company based in the UK and Detroit, is working on artificial intelligence that will not only detect and recognize pedestrians, but actually predict their behavior.
The company says it has trained the I.I to make predictions that are culturally and context- sensitive. One day, self-driving cars will not only recognize pedestrians at the crosswalk, but also predict whether they may suddenly go out on the street, or detect insufficient attention to traffic on the part of the pedestrian.
Humanising Autonomy won the" Ten best Los Angeles automotive startups " competition in 2019. And more info for Humanising Autonomy...
