DXC TECHNOLOGY
to support Level 2 + through Level 5 autonomous functions . It leverages on-premises and cloud infrastructure , methodologies , tools and accelerators for a highly automated AD development process .
The importance of the cloud in autonomous driving Data and the cloud are key in the development of AD . An autonomous vehicle ( AV ) processes the data it receives from various sensors to make a driving decision and this needs to be stored somewhere .
With Luxoft ’ s connected mobility solutions , customers are able to establish hybrid cloud environments , extend existing assets , migrate applications and employ modern development methods .
The solutions ’ data analytics capabilities make it possible for customers to collect , process and manage large amounts of vehicle data in real-time and help shape new services . “ The cloud is really critical and none of our autonomous driving engagements work without it . We have recently announced a strategic partnership with AWS and the cloud provides us with the flexibility , scalability and reliability that our customers need in all areas of autonomous driving ,” said Beck .
One of the key benefits of cloud computing is the opportunity to replace infrastructure expenses with low variable costs that scale with your business . With cloud computing , users can access all of the features and files of the system without having to keep the bulk of that system on their own computers .
“ DXC really has a strong partner network and we have partnerships with all hyperscalers . Our collaboration with AWS , for example , already starts before any project is contracted , where we advise our clients on the best solutions for the autonomous driving project . AWS has a strong automotive and autonomous
driving team and it ’ s a pleasure to work with them . This not only happens in the design phase , but then also in the implementation phase of these autonomous driving projects , where we often have mixed DXC and AWS teams ” added Beck .
Challenges facing DXC Technology and Luxoft in the next year Reflecting on the past 12 months , Beck explained that as a company , one of the biggest improvements was the growth of their customer base .
“ We started our autonomous driving engagements around six years ago with our first significant autonomous driving programme . But since then , we ’ ve really grown . I think there ' s barely any car
