Based in Switzerland, Cern is known for its Large Hadron Collider.
It said the development of these next-generation cars faced a "fundamental challenge" when it came interpreting the vast amounts of data produced during normal driving conditions. This includes the identification of other vehicles and pedestrians. Zenuity explained that its collaboration with Cern would look to use FPGAs for fast machine-learning applications that could be utilized in both the autonomous driving sector and particle physics experiments.
In March 2018, for example, one of ride-hailing powerhouse Uber's autonomous vehicles killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona. In March 2019, prosecutors said Uber Technologies was not criminally liable for the crash.
