Mobileye<\/a> is an an Israeli subsidiary of chipmaker Intel (who knew?) that develops self-driving cars and advanced driver-assistance systems. This week at CES the company announced a new chip called EyeQ Ultra<\/a>, part of its system-on-a-chip line, saying the chip will be able to do 176 trillion operations per second and is purpose-built for autonomous driving.<\/p>\n

Geely<\/a>, meanwhile, is a carmaker based in Hangzhou, China. Founded in 1997, the company\u2019s full name is Zhejiang Geely Holding Group; they\u2019re the largest private automaker in China, and reportedly sold<\/a> over 1.3 million cars in 2020. Among Geely\u2019s holdings is Swedish carmaker Volvo, as well as an electric vehicle brand called Zeekr<\/a> that was launched in March of 2021.<\/p>\n

The new self-driving car<\/a> will be a collaboration between Geely and Mobileye, and will be produced under the Zeekr brand. To be clear, the car still won\u2019t quite approach the put-your-feet-up driverless vision. There are five levels of automation<\/a> in driving, with Level 5 being full autonomy, in which the vehicle can drive itself anywhere (around cities, on highways, on rural roads, etc.) in any conditions<\/a> (rain, sun, fog, etc.) without human intervention. The Zeekr car will supposedly be Level 4, which means it will be able to operate without a safety driver under certain conditions (namely, good weather), and will still have a steering wheel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
