Carmakers, suppliers team up to share costs of self-driving vehicles
Mobileye, Nvidia, Delphi Automotive are among the more popular technology partners in race, with multiple alliances around the globe
Las Vegas
AUTOMOTIVE suppliers and carmakers are expanding alliances to develop self-driving technology that can serve multiple carmakers, as the race to put such vehicles on the road separates companies that can go it alone from those that need help sharing the financial and technical burdens.
While some companies, such as Tesla Motors, General Motors and Ford Motor, are trying to develop proprietary driverless systems, a larger group of carmakers appears to have decided it makes more sense to develop self-driving technology in collaboration with suppliers - as many other features such as anti-lock brakes or radar-enabled cruise control already are.
