When some of the world’s smartest scientists and some of the world’s brightest engineers pull together, there’s a good chance they’ll probably create some groundbreaking new technologies. To unleash this immense potential, Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America, Inc. – our R&D hub in Silicon Valley – just announced new research collaborations with Stanford University and UC San Diego. Stanford has been recognised as one of the cradles of #AI innovation. Students at the Stanford University School of Engineering will conduct hands-on research in the field of AI and its applications in the automotive industry. The goal: help advancing the AI-driven passenger experience. UCSD is renowned for its innovative 3D imaging research. The Autonomous Vehicle Laboratory, part of the Contextual Robotics Institute at UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering, focuses on image perception and data fusion for automated driving. Innovative 3D scene reconstruction from camera images could ultimately contribute to enhancing the safety of automated driving features. Mercedes-Benz is providing funding and support from its R&D team for each collaboration. And we’ll put the students’ academic research to the test in real-world applications. We’re thrilled to work with the next generation of innovators in what we consider some of the most exciting and most promising fields one can launch a career in.
