Continental, 3M Partner to Develop Intelligent Infrastructure Tech

Oct. 15, 2019
The collaboration between Continental and 3M aims to improve overall road infrastructure technology.

Oct. 15, 2019—Continental and 3M have partnered to assess the infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) interface between infrastructure-related objects  and technologies, and vehicle-related technologies. 

The short-term goal is to help increase road safety while continuing to work toward automated driving solutions.

Continental and 3M will collaboratively evaluate the infrastructure and vehicle interface in the following ways: localization and correction services using clear environmental landmarks for locating a vehicle on a high-definition map; identification and classification of objects in urban roadway environments including urban cross-walks, signalized intersections and other stationary and moving objects to improve safety; and more. 

Continental develops pioneering technologies and services for sustainable and connected mobility of people and their goods.
