The self-driving car is certainly the future of the automotive sector; Intel also understood this, having recently purchased an Italian company to develop this project.
Intel has indeed purchased yogitech, as the Santa Clara (California) company itself announced on the official blog: “For years, Intel has been producing high-performance IoT systems that allow people and companies to make more informed decisions. Right now the industry is moving from automating data for better information to support decisions, to automating actions informed by real-time data.”
The economic details of the agreement have not been disclosed, but it is a project to be cataloged in the development of Intel's Internet of Things and automotive area. Yogitech is a company owned by Atlante Ventures; following the acquisition, the Italian team becomes part of the Intel group.
Yogitech was born in Pisa in 2000, and since then it has become a well-known company in specialized circles for the development of hardware and software solutions capable of improving the security of electronic devices. Any examples? Braking systems, airbags and other electronic safety devices. Thanks to the purchase, Intel is confident that it will further strengthen itself in advanced assisted driving systems, robotics and other Internet of Things systems.
