When it comes to advancing and commercializing next-generation autonomous-driving solutions, it’s about more than providing a compute and software safety platform with object-detection or route-planning algorithms. Such systems require multiple sensors, as well as redundancy in communication, processing, actuation, and power.
It’s a systems-level approach to ensure the safety of the system, with no single point of failure, and freedom from interference so that there's not a single common cause bringing down the overall system.
Advancing these kinds of solutions needs an architectural-level analysis. It would tackle not only the operating system, but also the conditions on the hardware side to make sure there's a safe execution. We’ve reached the point where we’re looking into the next generation of systems, bringing all of this redundancy in, and creating diversity in the systems to safeguard them.
We talk to Dr. Stefan Poledna, Co-Founder, CTO, and CEO of TTTech Auto, about the state of the autonomous-driving marketplace as well as what still needs to be addressed.
