Intel has created a new organisation dedicated to autonomous driving technologies, called Automated Driving Group (ADG). The move follows close on the heels of an announcement that Intel chips would be used in self-driving cars being made by Delphi and Mobileye. ADG will be creating the next generation of driver assist systems and other solutions needed for autonomous vehicles.
