Providing equipment ready to take on the tough
requirements posed by AIoT solutions in autonomous vehicles
Innodisk supported a partner with the components and expertise necessary to bring the partner’s AI-enabled autonomous vehicle concept to life
Introduction
Autonomous vehicles and their AI systems have extremely high requirements for security, responsiveness, and reliability as they not only continuously process enormous amounts of data but also need to ensure the safety of both its passengers and other persons in the vicinity of the vehicle. These tough requirements necessitate that the vehicle’s AI system receives an uninterrupted stream of data from a large number of sensors, allowing it to make the right real-time decisions all the time—without any exception.
Result
High-performance and AIoT-optimized components from Innodisk combined with Innodisk’s proprietary software technologies ensured operational stability as well as the reliability and ruggedness required by in-vehicle applications. By working closely with the system integrators, Innodisk was able to expedite the design process and ensure an optimal 360-degree solution to the challenges faced by the partner’s autonomous vehicle concept.
