Toyota, Huawei and Momenta to develop autonomous driving
The three companies will work to integrate autonomous driving technologies into Toyota’s global product range. Huawei will provide the hardware parts through its ADAS technology, while Momenta will contribute the autonomous driving software. Toyota will oversee the user interface and integration process.
The initial goal of the partnership will be to address driver assistance features such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist and automatic emergency braking. In the longer term, it wants to develop systems that can handle full driving without human intervention.
