Technology:
Hitachi built its first autonomous
driving vehicle as a concept car. Based on Subaru’s vehicle, Hitachi’s
prototype vehicle carries such important parts as control unit and sensors that
are totally made by Hitachi. They include stereo camera, sound camera to tell
the situation of the four areas around the vehicle, various sensors like long
distance surveillance radar, a high-precision map that can tell the lanes on
the express way precisely in coordination with GPS, and inter-vehicle
communication device to detect the situation ahead.
Hitachi’s
strategy is to be an Intel of the autonomous driving technology, saying “Hitachi
inside.” Leading automakers are developing the autonomous driving technology
independently, but Hitachi wishes to sell its system to small- and medium-size
automakers. The autonomous driving market is expected to grow from 300 billion
yen in 2015 to more than 1 trillion yen in 2020. Hitachi plans to increase its
share in the autonomous driving market from the present 5% to 20% in 2020.
