Toyota Head at CES Touts Mobile Commerce

　　The Wells Fargo wagon is a-comin' down the street -- without horses, or a driver, or even a steering wheel. And it's going to be a Toyota.　　In limning his vision for the near future of automated vehicles, Toyota Motors CEO Akio Toyoda, at the Consumer Electronics Show here Monday, promised that the first and most pervasive use of self-driven vehicles will focus on mobile services and sharing. Toyota has committed to this emphasis by going beyond software, in Toyoda's words, and creating a mobile platform called e-Palette.　　The services envisioned for e-Palette, said the Toyota chief in a succinct address to a packed audience at the Mandalay Bay Conference Center, will range from food wagons to mobile emergency rooms. Toyota's mobile commerce vehicles, presented in on-screen animation, will be streamlined bus shells as small as a Cooper Mini and as large as a semi trailer, but without horses, driver, steering wheel or internal combustion.　　Toyota's transition from fossil fuel vehicles was one of Toyoda's points of emphasis.　　The Toyota CEO said that his company is working to crack the resistance to electric vehicles (EV), which today represent less than one percent of the cars on the road in the United States. Toyoda said that by 2020, Toyota will be offering en different EV models. By 2025, he added, every Toyota produced will be either EV or offer an EV capability.　　Defining the challenge of turning his company from a carmaker to a mobile service company, Toyoda spoke boldly, stating the motto of the initiative as "Start Your Impossible." Adding a personal note, he said, "This is a mission statement for me, because I hate being told, 'It can't be done.'"　　However, in reality, Toyota's approach of creating a mobility platform open to other developers and vendors -- with partners that already include Amazon, DiDi, Uber, Pizza Hut and Mazda -- is a departure from the utopian extravagance common to automated vehicle (AV) forecasts at CES.　　Just the night before, Nvidia chief Jensen Huang painted a word-picture in which, in just a few years, the roads and streets would be teeming with personal AVs in which supercharged gamers are ensconced obliviously in the back seat waging virtual intergalactic warfare while the car intuitively outmaneuvers drunken human drivers in red Corvettes.　　At least one observer, analyst Phil Magney, CEO of Vision Systems Intelligence, endorsed Toyota's more down-to-earth outlook. While insisting that a "closed system" proprietary to Toyota would be too restrictive, he said, "In concept, it all works to extend the boundaries beyond mobility. It's very compelling."　　Toyota's evolution from personal self-driven cars to shared mobility, for uses that range from distribution and delivery of goods, to door-knock beauty parlors and hospital shuttles, was clearly influenced by Gill Pratt, whom Toyoda hired to launch and lead the Toyota Research Institute.　　At last year's CES, Pratt was the rare skeptic about the short-term promise of fully autonomous -- designated as Levels 4 and 5 -- self-driven cars. Speaking with reporters after Toyoda's presentation this year, Pratt emphasized that the criteria for Level 4 and 5 autonomy are broad, complex and rigorous. He warned that technology companies, auto makers and the press should not underestimate "how hard it is" to put a completely safe "chauffeur mode" car on the road with no human driver to intervene in an emergency.　　It's easier, as CEO Toyoda explained, to launch fleets of autonomous vehicles that drive fixed routes, pre-programmed and GPS-guided, conveying people to shops and workplaces --or vice versa. As Toyoda said, "Today, you travel to the store. With e-Palette, the store will travel to you."　　Toyoda, unlike many presenters at CES, added a note of modesty. Pointing out that he is the third generation of the Toyoda family to run his company, he cited a common perception that "the third generation ruins everything" and added, "Hopefully, that will not happen."

Toyota Going Open-Source in '18 Camry

　　Toyota Motor Corp. announced Wednesday (May 31) that its 2018 Camry will be its first vehicle to be sold in the United States running Automotive Grade Linux software on its infotainment system.　　Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) is an open-source project hosted by the Linux Foundation. AGL claims that “more than 100 members have worked together,” and contributed code to develop “a robust, Linux-based operating system and application.”　　Toyota’s endorsement appears to be a much-needed boost for the software’s proponents.　　Given a membership roster heavily tilted toward Japanese vendors (AGL’s platinum members include Denso, Mazda, Panasonic, Renesas, Suzuki and Toyota), industry analysts tend to see AGL’s appeal as geographically limited.　　Mike Demler, senior analyst at the Linley Group, observed, “AGL is very Japan-centric, and just one of several (and likely the least mature) flavors of Linux for automotive.”　　Danny Kim, a director and partner at Vision Systems Intelligence (VSI), partly agreed. He noted, “AGL’s regional dominance would likely be limited to Asia (or Japan) at the beginning, just like Genivi was to Europe.” However, he described Toyota’s announcement as “a significant endorsement for the standard to be successful as any standardization needs to be led by a major OEM.”　　The question is how wide and broad AGL can penetrate the global automotive market. Several different automotive software platforms are already available, with numerous users.　　Beyond Blackberry’s QNX, “which has the largest share,” said Demler, Wind River and Green Hills have also preceded AGL. Mentor Graphics is an automotive Linux supplier, Demler added, while Green Hills “supports integration of QNX and other Linux in their automotive platform.”　　The AGL promoters explain their advantage as “sharing an open platform, code reuse and a more efficient development process.” The idea is to “ultimately reduce development costs, decrease time-to-market for new products and reduce fragmentation across the industry,” according to AGL.

Toyota Selects Nvidia, Intel Feels Heat

　　Nvidia revealed Wednesday at its GPU Technology Conference that Toyota will use Nvidia’s Drive PX AI automotive platform to power advanced autonomous driving systems planned for market introduction.　　Mike Demler, a senior analyst at The Linley Group, described Toyota’s move as “potentially a big deal.”　　In the brewing battle between Nvidia’s AI car computing platform and an Intel-Mobileye platform, Nvidia now appears to be building momentum.　　According to Egil Juliussen, director research, Infotainment & ADAS at IHS Automotive, Toyota has become the fourth major car OEM publicly committed to Nvidia’s Drive PX for their highly automated vehicle. The other three OEMs are Audi, Daimler, and VW Group.　　In addition to those OEMs — which include the world’s two biggest carmakers Toyota and VW, Juliussen added that Nvidia also previously picked up smaller OEMs including Volvo, Tesla and Nio (formerly known as NextEV). Since tier ones such as Bosch and ZF have also embraced Nvidia’s hardware platform, Juliussen believes that this “will probably help Nvidia getting other OEMs on board.”　　Demler, who attended Nvidia’s conference Wednesday, also noted that Argo.ai, Ford’s autonomous driving group, gave a presentation on “Deep Learning in Argo.ai’s Autonomous Vehicles.”　　Of course, it’s important to note that the automotive industry is “still in a very early stage of development for Level 4 and Level 5 self-driving cars,” cautioned Demler. It’s premature to declare any platform’s victory. Juliussen noted that “other platforms for autonomous driving are likely to appear.”　　But so far, it’s hard to deny that Nvidia is picking up steam.　　Toyota’s deal　　A year ago, Toyota Research Institute CEO Gill Pratt came to Nvidia’s conference to deliver a keynote speech, in which he emphasized why simulation is the key to autonomous driving. By leveraging Nvidia’s GPU-powered platform and developing simulation programs, Pratt explained that it’s incumbent upon researchers at the Toyota Research Institute to tackle “corner cases” that happen rarely during trillions of miles of driving in the real world.　　Without simulations to augment learning from huge quantities of real-world data, miles of cumulative driving alone won’t help the industry find answers for such edge cases, he explained.
