DENSO, NEC collaborate on AI, IoT-based advanced driver assistance, automated driving & manufacturing

DENSO Corporation and NEC Corporation has announced their collaboration in the field of advanced driver assistance, automated driving, and manufacturing with an aim preserve the global environment and create a safe and secure automotive society.

Both the companies will together based on DENSO's high level of technology and manufacturing capability accumulated through its experience in the automotive market and NEC's artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), security, and other advanced technologies, as well as its remarkable achievements in system architecture and operation, which have been developed in its information and communications technology (ICT) services.

In the fields of advanced driver assistance and automated driving, to assess the performance of deep learning approaches to hazard prediction, DENSO and NEC will jointly develop safe and secure driving components with NEC's AI to create hazard prediction technology.

Competition to develop automated driving and vehicle electrification technologies will become more intense and interaction among automotive systems will become increasingly complicated. To develop automotive products effectively, DENSO and NEC will capitalize on the NEC Group's system developers to build a rapid and flexible product development system.

With further advancement of the IoT, the security of corporate information infrastructure and products will become even more critical. DENSO and NEC will consider how best to collaborate to ensure greater security based on their expertise.

Also, they will consider cooperation in manufacturing by combining NEC's various IoT technologies.

The two companies will leverage technologies, products, and systems resulting from this cooperation and openly and actively build partnerships with other companies which share the same vision, in order to help build a safe, secure, efficient, and fair automotive society for people around the world.
