Samsung Electronics recently acquired Waymo's next-generation self-driving car chip development project, a source said.
We are talking about a processor that will process data from various sensors on the car. It will also control certain functions by exchanging data with Waymo's control centers in real time.
The development of the chip will be done by the Business LSI Custom SOC Business Team, that is, it will not be just some Exynos SoC system with specific software. Unfortunately, there are no details yet.
Mercedes-Benz recalls more than 1 million cars sold between 2016 and 2021
The latest report shows that Mercedes-Benz America is recalling 1,29 million vehicles due to a malfunction in its eCall software. A report from Car and Driver states that this malfunction will not provide an accurate location of the vehicle in the event of an accident. Ultimately, this can lead to the loss of housing for residents.
The recall covers vehicles sold between the 2016 and 2021 model years, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. List includes CLA-Class, GLA-Class, GLE-Class, GLS-Class, SLC-Class, A-Class, GT-Class, C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, CLS-Class, SL-Class , B-class, GLB-class, GLC-class and G-class.
According to Mercedes-Benz, there are currently no reports of property damage or personal injury as a result of this malfunction. The company is also working on free software updates that will be rolled out OTA or at the dealership. The recall will begin on April 6.
Mercedes-Benz зазначив, “тимчасовий обвал джерела живлення модуля зв’язку, спричинений аварією, може призвести до того, що транспортний засіб може бути неправильним під час потенційного екстреного дзвінка… Однак інші функції автоматичного та ручного екстреного дзвінка залишаються повністю робочими”.
Sometime last year, Mercedes-Benz Europe had to investigate a malfunction of its automatic eCall system. The investigation then found that there were several occasions when his system gave the wrong location of the car.
Mercedes-Benz is doing quite well and its products are found in different parts of the world. At this time, there is no information about the details of the recall. However, we expect to receive more information regarding the recall in the coming weeks.
Mercedes-Benz cooperates with phone manufacturers
Хоча ми знаємо Mercedes-Benz як “автомобільну компанію”, вона також співпрацює з компаніями, що займаються розробкою смартфонів. Однак ці корпорації не повинні мати “Benz Phone”. Минулого року Xiaomi та Mercedes-Benz досягли домовленості, згідно з якою Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra з’єднається з позашляховиками Mercedes-Benz, щоб вирушити в подорож неперевершеним дослідженням зображень.
The Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra is the pinnacle of Xiaomi's 10th anniversary, as well as the highest level of imaging capabilities of a Xiaomi smartphone. This collaboration with Mercedes-Benz is another boost to its high-end image.
Варто згадати, що Лей Цзюнь (генеральний директор Xiaomi) також є власником Mercedes-Benz. Ще у 2017 році Лей Цзюнь зробив селфі з Redmi Note 5A на Weibo. Деякі користувачі за деталями сидіння та інтер’єру впізнали, що Лей Цюнь їхав на Maybach S600.
