The joint venture of Volvo and Veoneer, Zenuity, cooperates with the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN.
Zenuity have to put up the other day, because the development of autonomous driving did not make the imaginary chronological development. This one has something else moved backwards,

Now, however, Zenuity has found a new cooperation partner for the development of autonomous driving: the European Organization for Nuclear Research – CERN for short. Here the Internet was invented and some physical principles were proven.
The cooperation will be about the development of autonomous driving. Specifically, it is about traffic behavior forecasts, ie where and how quickly do the road users, and the acceleration of decision-making in the car for object classification.
This involves the data evaluation of the sensors. This problem also has the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN, where subatomic particles collide at high speed. The data must also be evaluated to make predictions. The analysis of the sensor data should also be done in real time.
It uses Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), a hardware solution that executes complex decision algorithms in microseconds. For the calculations one resorts to one Artificial intelligence back. In this way you want the computing time, the power consumption and reduce memory requirements with the same accuracy. The cooperation is intended to convey these successes within a few years.
In this way, Zenuity wants to increase traffic safety and promote its own business model. So you want that too trust into the technology, especially under the deadly accident suffered with a Uber test car in the US.
