Collaboration Intends to Build and
Distribute Mobileye's Road Experience Management Product in
China
Mobileye, an Intel Company, the global leader
in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving
technologies, and NavInfo, the leading autonomous driving solution
providers in the China market with core businesses in HAD mapping
and high accuracy positioning, today announced they have agreed to
a collaboration intended to build and distribute Mobileye’s Road
Experience Management (REM®) product in China. Specifically, the
partnership’s purpose is to use Mobileye’s REM technology to
generate a RoadBook™ in China that is integrated and aligned with
NavInfo’s mapping solutions.

Mobileye’s REM system is a cost-efficient
solution to enable autonomous vehicles (AV) to localize themselves
much more accurately than traditional approaches can support. Low
bandwidth, anonymized data packets from vehicles equipped with
front-facing cameras are used to crowd-source a RoadBook of
drivable paths, including road/lane boundaries and the stationary
landmarks used as reference points. This is a critical sensory
input to automated vehicles all the way from Level 2+ systems to
Level 5. This innovative, low-cost solution to one of autonomous
driving’s largest challenges (precision localization/mapping) has
garnered significant interest from OEMs and mapping companies
worldwide, and through this arrangement will now be coming to
China.
NavInfo’s skills and products are highly
complementary to Mobileye in terms of productizing and distributing
REM in China. The RoadBook contains no navigational or geographic
information, therefore it needs to be delivered as a layer within
NavInfo’s map products. NavInfo software and other technology can
also support alignment of the rapidly updating RoadBook inside
NavInfo’s standard map and Highly Automated Driving (HAD) map.
Distribution of this aligned product will enable future AV systems
in China to gain the localization capabilities needed for real
automation.
“Mobileye has a history of pursuing
partnerships with innovative companies which we believe results in
faster-to-market products that support the pillars of safety and
economic scalability,” said Professor Amnon Shashua, CEO and CTO of
Mobileye. “We are very pleased to announce our relationship with
NavInfo as the latest example. NavInfo’s technology and market
position make it a natural fit to assist in building RoadBook in
China, and thereby accelerating the next steps of autonomous
driving.”
“We are always excited about joining forces and
uniting market leaders to fuel innovation and inspiration across
the world,” said Patrick Cheng, CEO, NavInfo. “We truly believe
with Mobileye’s vision and technology, together we can offer
state-of-the-art solutions to connect our customers with
best-in-class services and take the autonomous driving industry to
the next level.”
