It is a comprehensive leap for China’s autonomous driving technologies!

Every year, CES calls the consumer electronic freaks and nerds from all over the world, to see what is new and to observe the future trends. As usual, CAN is not a hot topic, but it does its background job and in few cases, it pops up and becomes visible. This year, the Chinese IT heavyweight, Baidu, will launch the long-expected Apollo 2.0 project. It is a comprehensive leap for China’s autonomous driving technologies. More than 200 partners support this project. The recommended reference hardware is based on the Nuvo-5095GC computer by Neousys Technology (Taiwan). This computer uses the GTX 1051Ti graphic card by Nvidia and Intel’s 6th generation processors. To communicate with the CAN in-vehicle networks, the computer provides PCI card slots. ESD’s CAN-PCIe/402 interface boards are recommended for Baidu Apollo development partners. They provide up to four CAN ports and implement the company’s esdACC CAN core.
