Intel has taken several steps to become a real player in the world of driverless vehicles.

After announcing a $250-million-dollar investment that will go towards the development of autonomous driving technology a few weeks ago, Intel has now announced that it has created an Automated Driving Group (ADG) within the company. The ADG will be led by Doug Davis, the previous general manager of the Internet of Things (IoT) Group at Intel. 

In a company press release, Intel said of Davis, “Doug sees the new Automated Driving Group as another not-to-be missed opportunity to lead through disruption, so much so that he has postponed his retirement to become the senior vice president and general manager of ADG.”

Davis will have assistance from Kathy Winter, who will serve as the vice president and general manager of the Automated Solutions Division (ASD).

The announcement of the creation of the ADG comes a few days after it was reported that Intel has entered into partnerships with Delphi Automotive and Mobileye. Delphi is an automotive parts manufacturing company based in the United Kingdom, while Mobileye is a tech company based in Israel that develops vision-based advanced driver assistance systems.

Next month, Delphi and Mobileye will test their Centralized Sensing Localization and Planning (CSLP) automated driving system during a six-mile drive in Las Vegas during the Consumer Electronics Show.

Together, the three companies will look to create a driverless vehicle platform to sell to automakers by 2019.
