Interesting that they didn’t mention using Akida in the EQXX!…..instead they focus on joining Intel NRC in 2020!

…..and they still need automotive-grade chips with neuromorphic technology before it becomes common in cars…..wonder how long before this happens?

So, it would seem that Akida is not going to be released in any of the upcoming production cars….thoughts anyone?

“neuromorphic chips are more energy efficient and have lower latency than conventional CPUs and GPUs. That means much faster computation using considerably less power.

However, this change in data processing also requires new software algorithms specifically designed to work with neuromorphic hardware. Existing algorithms can only partially leverage the many benefits of neural technology. Thanks to Valerij, Alexander, Christina in the Innovations & Future Technology area and the rest of our team for tackling this huge project!



Neuromorphic computing reduces the power required for advanced AI computation, which is useful in applications where energy is limited, like electric vehicles. However, we still need automotive-grade chips with neuromorphic technology before this technology becomes common in cars.

We at Mercedes-Benz AG are currently working on novel algorithms that take advantage of neuromorphic computing to improve the energy efficiency and performance of our cars. Our primary goals are to extend vehicle range, make safety systems react faster, and increase the number of #AIfunctions possible. In 2020, we already joined the #Intel Neuromorphic Research Community and since then we are continuously expanding our collaborations with other research partners and universities to ensure our software and hardware solutions continue to lead the industry.”
