Acer self-driving concept car with Luxgen S3 electric vehicle platform unveiled

Acer in collaboration with Yulon Group has introduced its self-driving concept car at the Taiwan Automotive Technology Innovation Summit 2018. This self-driving concept car comes integrated with Acer’s autonomous driving system with the Luxgen S3 electric vehicle platform. Both companies demonstrated their level 4[i]-ready self-driving concept car, showcasing their shared vision of AI (artificial intelligence) and autonomous driving technology. The level 4-ready self-driving concept car is based on the Luxgen S3 electric vehicle platform, with Acer’s autonomous driving system encompassing sensing, decision-making and control. The Acer self-driving system leverages AI and sensor fusion algorithms fed with data from real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning, cameras, Lidars, MMW radars, IMU (inertial measurement unit) and ultrasonic sensors. It uses deep learning technology for object recognition, and then implements dynamic vehicle control to implement the autonomous driving. Acer’s self-driving system makes dynamic vehicle control decisions through AI models based on key data including image recognition, 3D Lidar obstacle detection, high-precision maps and real-time positioning to steer the car, brake, cruise, maneuver, or park. It also has a cloud management system for car sharing services so that a control center can dispatch vehicles when users make transportation requests through their mobile device. The cloud management system can manage scheduling, monitoring, notification, ...
