Intel to build a 100-strong fleet of self-driving cars

• newatlas.com by Nick Lavars

The computer hardware company has hit the ground running with its new acquisition, today revealing plans for a fully autonomous fleet of driverless vehicles to be tested later this year.

Mobileye's systems are already integrated into 237 unique car models and its chips feature in more than 3.3 million vehicles. In buying the Israeli company back in March, Intel hoped to combine that firm's expertise in computer vision, machine learning and mapping with its own computing clout. With autonomous vehicles on the rise, Intel expects they will generate more than 4 GB of data every day by the year 2020.

And it wants to play a key part in this future. Together with Mobileye it plans to build a complete car-to-cloud system, a kind of all-in-one autonomous technology package where cars communicate with one another and store data in the cloud.
