「In semiconductor development, we began joint development combining DENSO's processor with the Chimera GPNPU (General Purpose Neural Processing Unit) of US-based Quadric, Inc., toward developing IP cores (Intellectual Property Cores) for future automotive semiconductors for AI applications.」
The company has begun joint development with Quadric of automotive AI semiconductors supporting advanced driver assistance and automated driving. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「We widened the detection angle of the image sensor used for safe driving assistance so that pedestrians and bicycles crossing the vehicle's path can be recognized earlier. Sudden entry from the roadside is said to account for approximately 70% of traffic accidents involving children aged 12 or younger.」
For advanced driver assistance, the company has widened the detection angle of its image sensor and states that it has been adopted in the SUBARU Outback and Crosstrek. - FY2021AdvancedAnnual report
「In this verification, the two companies will equip the test track at "Global R&D Tokyo, Haneda," our base for research and development in areas such as automated driving, with a 5G communications environment, and jointly verify technologies supporting the operation of automated vehicles using high-resolution vehicle-mounted cameras, roadside sensors and other equipment.」
At the Haneda research and development base, the project has progressed to joint verification with KDDI of automated-driving support using a 5G environment, high-resolution cameras and roadside sensors. - FY2020Update to the planned opening date and functions of the Haneda baseAnnual report
「In July 2020, we plan to open a test-vehicle service building with a test track and an office on the site of the former Haneda Airport. We will establish a research and development framework that includes public-road demonstration testing with actual vehicles and further accelerate development.」
The description of the Haneda base has been updated to include a test track, a test-vehicle service building and an office, as well as plans for public-road demonstration testing with actual vehicles. - FY2019AdvancedAnnual report
「In April 2018, we opened "Global R&D Tokyo," a research and development office in Shinagawa focused on automated driving, and are strengthening collaboration and open innovation with a range of partners, including vehicle manufacturers, universities, research institutions and startups. We will newly open a base in June 2020 in the area of the former Haneda Airport for prototyping and demonstration testing of automated driving technologies. This will establish a framework in which automated driving technologies planned and researched in Shinagawa can be prototyped and tested in Haneda, completing the process within the Tokyo area.」
In addition to the Shinagawa research and development base, the company describes a Haneda demonstration base scheduled to open in June 2020, giving concrete form to a framework covering automated driving research, prototyping and demonstration testing within Tokyo. - FY2018AdvancedAnnual report
「To promote technological development in the advanced development of automated driving technologies, we joined TRI-AD, established by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION, together with Aisin Seiki Co., Ltd. We also opened an office in Shinagawa, Tokyo (Minato-ku), dedicated to research and development. In addition to pursuing the development of cutting-edge technologies such as AI, the office will strengthen recruitment of software and AI personnel. We will also newly begin research and development in Israel involving advanced technologies such as automated driving, cybersecurity and AI.」
The company is giving concrete form to its development framework for automated driving and AI through its participation in TRI-AD, the opening of a dedicated research and development office in Tokyo, and the launch of research and development in Israel. - FY2017AdvancedAnnual report
「In Japan, we have already conducted driving tests on public roads since 2014. We are also conducting public-road driving tests in North America to support research and development tailored to the region's distinctive traffic environment, where highways are used routinely. In addition, to accelerate the development of automated driving technologies, we are strengthening collaboration with external partners, including vehicle manufacturers and local governments.」
The company describes public-road driving tests in Japan and North America and stronger collaboration with vehicle manufacturers, local governments and others, giving concrete form to its development framework. - FY2016First statedAnnual report
「In the safety and security field, we established the ADAS Promotion Division as a company-wide organization integrating the relevant departments, and are working to accelerate technological development in advanced driver assistance and automated driving.」
The establishment of the organization in January 2016 is cited as a concrete measure to accelerate development.
