Many of the world’s leading automotive manufacturers and top technology firms have already partnered with Crystal Group to tap the company’s thirty- year expertise in developing rugged and reliable systems deployed in over 500 U.S.A. and Allied defense programs and hundreds of industrial and commercial applications worldwide. For the past two years Intel® and global OEM’s have chosen Crystal Group solutions for their autonomous vehicles (AV) and automated driving systems (ADS). To date, Crystal Group has successfully passed numerous in-vehicle crash safety tests.
“Self-driving vehicles require rugged computer platforms that can fuse tremendous amounts of sensor data and proper driving response, all while operating in extreme environments of vibration, temperature, humidity, and shock,” said Jim Shaw Crystal Group’s executive vice president of engineering. “Our new RACE0161 Autonomous Driving Computer, specifically designed for challenging autonomous automotive requirements, allows developers to reduce time to market and more importantly, improve vehicle and passenger safety.”
