Hyundai has expanded its partnership with IonQ to use quantum computers for object detection for self-driving purposes. It will be a new project that harnesses the power of quantum computers to drive machine learning algorithms to learn image classification and 3D objects to develop technologies for its future vehicles.
Object detection and image classification are the basis of computer vision techniques which is an area of artificial intelligence that is important for the development of self-driving cars and ADAS technologies. IonQ and Hyundai are looking to increase the computational functionality with the training process of their machine learning algorithms using quantum computers and to be more efficient as they can process faster and more accurately than traditional techniques.
IonQ and Hyundai will take advantage of a breakthrough in encoding images into a quantum state. IonQ is already using its quantum computers to classify 43 types of road signs. Its machine learning data will be applied to Hyundai’s test environment and simulate a number of real-world scenarios.
Like many major car makers, Hyundai is also working on self-driving technology.
“We are excited to expand our existing relationship with Hyundai Motor to focus on another key aspect of next-generation mobility,” said Peter Chapman, President and CEO, IONQ.
“From partnerships on battery research for electric vehicles to image classification and object detection research for automated driving, we expect quantum computers to become even more integral in developing novel transportation solutions,” he said.
Hyundai and IonQ are going to develop fundamental quantum technology for object detection in the context of the road. The project will use IONQ’s quantum computer called Aria which will enable lower costs for processing. Aria has 20 algorithmic qubits making it one of the most powerful quantum computers on the planet.
