高精地图初创企业领跑者——宽凳科技与英伟达达成战略合作

As an open and scalable platform, DRIVE localization is partnering with high-definition map startups for the first time. DRIVE positioning is an expandable open platform under Nvidia. This is the first time that the platform has reached strategic cooperation with start-ups in the high-precision map industry. DRIVE localization and mapping software has built an open ecosystem for autonomous vehicle, using the computing power of GPU and the high-definition maps of partners, to achieve environmental awareness with unprecedented robustness and accuracy. Many world-class map suppliers have compatible their maps with DRIVE software to achieve global localization, such as Here and TomTom. The DRIVE positioning and map building software has built an open ecosystem for autonomous vehicles by integrating the computing power of the graphics processor and high-definition map resources provided by partners, and is committed to improving the robustness and accuracy of environmental recognition to unprecedented levels. In terms of global positioning, including here and Tom, many world-class map suppliers' map products support driver software.

As a high-definition mapping startup, KUANDENG recently joined this ecosystem with its highly automated mapping technology. Their mass-produced high-definition maps can already be used on most highways and highways in China. NVIDIA continues to expand its map ecosystem using the DRIVE Maps format, allowing any map supplier to convert to this format for direct use of DRIVE localization. This is also a successful representative of a startup in the field of high-precision maps. With its highly automated map building technology, Kuandong Technology has recently successfully joined this ecosystem. So far, the company's large-scale high-precision maps have basically covered all highways and expressways in China. Through this strategic collaboration, Nvidia has not only successfully expanded its map building ecosystem, but also revealed to the outside world that any map supplier can directly use the drive positioning platform by converting to the drive map format.

Continuous maintenance and updating of high-definition maps is an important prerequisite for the scalable application of autonomous vehicle. Based on NVIDIA localization and map platform, more cooperation in high-definition map crowdsourcing and update technology can be expanded. Feng Hanping, chief technology officer of Kuandong, said: "NVIDIA Drive has great potential to enable Kuandong to provide autonomous vehicle with more timely high-definition maps." For high-precision map products, to achieve scalable applications in the field of autonomous vehicle, continuous maintenance and update is a crucial prerequisite. Based on NVIDIA's positioning and map building platform, cooperation in high-precision map crowdsourcing and updating technology will be further expanded. Dr. Feng Hanping, co-founder and chief technology officer of Bandeng Technology, said, "With the huge potential of Nvidia's drive platform, Bandeng Technology can provide more timely high-precision map services for autonomous vehicle." Bandeng Technology was founded in May 2017 and is committed to providing key infrastructure data services for the autonomous driving ecosystem. The company's highly automated high-definition map solution enables autonomous driving and provides core technology and data support to all participants in the industry value chain. KUANDENG is also establishing a cloud based crowdsourcing platform to achieve efficient real-time updates of high-definition maps and establish a data closed-loop system. In January 2019, Kuandong Technology obtained an A-level surveying and mapping license in China, becoming the youngest company in history to obtain such qualifications. Kuandong Technology was established in May 2017, dedicated to providing underlying data services for the autonomous driving ecosystem. Through highly automated high-precision map solutions, Wide Bench Technology not only makes autonomous driving possible, but also provides core technology and data support for all participants in the industrial value chain. In addition, Kuandong Technology is also committed to building a cloud based crowdsourcing platform, helping its high-precision map products achieve efficient and real-time updates while building a closed-loop data system. Kuandong Technology has obtained China's "Navigation Electronic Map Class A Qualification" in January 2019, making it the youngest company to date to obtain this qualification.
