Delphi talks tech and automated driving at CES 2015

Active safety and connectivity technologies are converging rapidly. This advanced technology requires companies that can manage the complexities inherent to automotive integration. Global component supplier Delphi is one of only a handful of automotive suppliers with the ability to provide all the technology required for automated driving. It has the capability to offer automakers complete, single-source automated driving solutions that are scalable, flexible and affordable.

Key features include:

• Full suite of radar, vision and ADAS
• Automated highway with lane change
• Point-to-point urban autonomous driving
• Multi-domain controller: High-end microprocessor to seamlessly drive multiple features and functions
• V2V/V2X: Wireless vehicle communication technology extends the range of existing ADAS functionality
• Intelligent software that enables the vehicle to make complex, human-like decisions for real-world driving
  

Delphi’s portfolio of automated driving technologies:

• Delphi’s radar and vision systems provide layers of protection that intelligently monitor and scan the vehicle’s internal and external environment.
• Delphi’s 360 degree sensing vehicle may be the first step toward automated driving, as this system helps enhance safety and reduce the potential for accidents. The system consists of four short-range radars; two in the rear of the vehicle and two in the front.
• Delphi’s RACam is another key automated safety system strategically located to provide critical information about the car’s surroundings. RACam integrates Delphi’s electronically scanning radar and vision system into one compact radar/camera package located behind the windshield.
• Delphi’s multi-domain controller brings together multiple electronic sub-systems, or domains, within a vehicle into a single, powerful control center. The high-performance computing power of a multi-domain controller makes it possible for automated vehicles to quickly and efficiently manage the massive amounts of complex data required to make automated features work well.
• Delphi moves automated driving a significant step forward with a joint development agreement with Ottomatika, a spin-off of Carnegie Mellon University. Ottomatika’s automated driving software is integrated with Delphi’s active safety technologies. The result is a system capable of making human-like decisions to safely pilot an automated vehicle through a variety of real-world highway or urban driving scenarios.
• Delphi’s V2V/V2X technology will allow cars to talk with one another as well as the infrastructure needed to provide drivers critical traffic information. This advancement will further enhance current and future automated driving functionality.
