Mobileye AVs Can Go Anywhere in Germany

Business Wire
What’s New: Mobileye today published a nearly hourlong
video of its autonomous driving test vehicle (AV) navigating the
complexities of urban and highway driving in Munich, Germany. The
video demonstrates the company’s unmatched ability to drive AVs
“everywhere” due in large part to Mobileye’s crowd-sourced,
high-definition (HD) mapping technology known as Road Experience
Management™ (REM™).

In July 2020, Mobileye announced that
Germany’s independent technical service provider, TÜV Süd, had
awarded it an automated vehicle testing permit. It allows the
company to drive its test vehicles in real-world traffic on all
German roads at speeds up to 130 kilometers per hour. (Credit:

“High-definition maps are crucial to a safe
and robust self-driving system. Because it is crowd-sourced across
production vehicles in large volume, our Road Experience Management
technology satisfies the near real-time and scale challenges
necessary for an effective map.” –Prof. Amnon Shashua, president
and chief executive officer of Mobileye, an Intel Company
How Mobileye Set an Unprecedented Timetable: Because
Mobileye has invested in a scalable, sustainable approach to
mapping, the company was able to drive its cars autonomously on
highways and urban roads – pretty much everywhere – within just a
few days of delivering the AV to Munich. The ability to land in a
new region and drive almost immediately is unprecedented as most
companies must spend weeks – if not months – using special vehicles
to build maps before their vehicles can start driving. What’s more,
competing mapping approaches are quickly outdated and unable to
account for road changes such as detours.
In Mobileye’s case, the worldwide HD map already exists thanks
to unique technology that uses the power of the crowd to generate
and continuously update the map. REM technology is actively
generating data about more than 15 million kilometers of roads
daily to build the map and keep it up to date. This crucial tool
for AV deployment is unique to Mobileye and made possible because
of the company’s established global advanced driver-assistance
systems footprint.
How to Watch It Now: As seen in the video, Mobileye’s
Munich-based AV conducts many challenging maneuvers using only a
camera-based self-driving system (more below). Watch the full video
to see how the AV reaches speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour,
navigates a left turn on green through a busy intersection,
maneuvers to avoid an open door, executes an unprotected left turn,
navigates to avoid a bus pulled to the side of the road, changes
lanes on a highway at high speeds, navigates a congested street,
maneuvers around a vehicle that is parallel parking, and safely
moves around stopped emergency vehicles.
About the AV: The vehicle shown in the video is using a
camera-only subsystem of Mobileye’s level-4 development AV. This
camera subsystem runs on two of Mobileye’s EyeQ®5 systems-on-chips
(SoCs) processing 11 cameras. It’s important to note that
Mobileye’s production L4 solution (not shown in this video)
includes a second sensing subsystem using radar and lidar for True
Redundancy™.
More About Mobileye in Germany: Germany’s independent
technical service provider granted Mobileye a permit for AV testing
in Germany in July 2020. The permit allows the company to test
vehicles in real-world traffic on all German roads at speeds up to
130 kilometers per hour.
