Currently, the startup & egrave; committed to working on a cloud-based development and testing platform for software used in self-driving cars.

This platform offers engineers all the programs they need to create software for autonomous driving in the very best way. short time possible. It also allows you to test your software both before and during development in test vehicles. Pu & ograve; also be used to analyze real-world data from a fleet of test vehicles, create a variety of test scenarios and create a simulation environment that allows rapid evaluation and validation of system behavior.

Recently, Bosch had made another strategic acquisition in the field of autonomous driving, getting their hands on Atlatec, specialized in the field of high resolution digital maps. Thanks to these operations, Bosch will be & agrave; able to offer its customers all the elements necessary for autonomous driving: from actuators to sensors and maps to software and the development environment.

We remind you that Bosch is carrying out several projects related to advanced autonomous driving solutions. You cannot & ograve; not to mention Automated Valet Parking, the first totally driverless parking function already; ready for production which & egrave; already been tested on several cars.
