Renovo and Seagate work together to develop next generation data management solutions for autonomous vehicles
June 25 2019 - 9:00AM
Renovo, the global autonomous vehicle software company, today
announced their cooperation with Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:
STX), a world leader in data storage solutions. This will fuel
Renovo’s autonomous vehicle data management and orchestration
efforts, ahead of a product announcement in this space in the next
few weeks.
“Rapidly Identifying valuable data and getting it
in the hands of those that need it is a critical problem facing the
AV industry,” said Ken Claffey, Vice President & General
Manager of Enterprise Data Solutions at Seagate. “Renovo’s
expertise in vehicle and data systems makes them uniquely qualified
to solve this problem for autonomous vehicle fleets.”
In just one day, an autonomous vehicle produces as
much data as the Hubble telescope produces in a whole year.
Streaming this data in real-time to cloud-based storage is
impractical given the bandwidth constraints, thus, local
persistence on individual vehicles is key.
Renovo have been building on the success
experienced with the AWare platform and are planning on announcing
additional information on other projects in the coming weeks. This
cooperation will see Renovo use a wide range of Seagate storage
solutions across all areas of an autonomous vehicle fleet.
“Seagate offers a wide variety of solutions for
autonomous vehicle data storage,” said Chris Heiser CEO of Renovo.
“We are delighted to work with an industry leader like Seagate to
bring the very best in storage technology to bleeding edge
autonomous vehicle applications.”
The Renovo platform currently powers highly
automated vehicle fleets on public and private roads today
including that of Voyage.auto. Seagate joins the Renovo ecosystem
along with a growing list of autonomous mobility technology
providers like Samsung, Verizon, HERE, Velodyne LiDAR, Parsons,
INRIX, Argus Cyber Security, Affectiva, Phantom Auto, Metamoto,
Understand.ai, NIRA Dynamics, Bestmile, and others.
