[Microprocessor Forum] Auto-parking and auto-pilot in cars, possible but expensive, says Denso exec
Story posted on: May 22, 2007
I had a chance to chat with Hideaki Ishihara, a senior manager at Japanese auto supplier Denso, after his (boring, I must say) keynote on automotive electronics. Denso is the world's second largest automobile parts maker behind Stuttgart, Germany-based, Bosch and main components supplier to Toyota.
"We already have done trials in Japan where a car will self-park and drive by itself on the highway. The auto-parking capabilities require cameras and sensors along the car but not outside of the automobile [streets, sidewalks...]. But the cost of the technology is still prohibitive for our customers to implement it in their cars", said Ishihara.
