ADAS/AD companies find themselves grappling with the sheer volume of data needed for AI model development. As projects begin to scale, data requirements surge from petabytes to exabytes, aligning with the progression from SAE levels L2 to L5 automation. In response, they are actively exploring ways to streamline development processes, while lowering costs without compromising performance. This pursuit leads them towards using technologies such as Synthetic Data Generation (SDG), digital twin solutions, and generative AI techniques.
Simultaneously, these companies are searching for guidance from the IT sector to store, manage, and navigate the demands of substantial AI workloads effectively. Additionally, they are exploring alternative Cloud Service Provider (CSP) options, seeking more flexibility and efficiency in their data management methodologies.
DARA approaches this challenge by designing and building an AI Platform with a focus on the ADAS/AD market. This platform includes AI model creation and development, AI model V/V using simulation, and a combination of Dell and partner hardware and software to reduce development cycle time without sacrificing performance at scale. Only a select few global companies possess the advanced IT capabilities required to offer comprehensive AI platforms, partnerships, and tools essential for establishing an end-to-end automotive data pipeline.
Remarkably, approximately 75 percent of the automotive industry has already embraced Dell PowerScale storage solutions. DARA represents a focused effort to expand its expertise and product portfolio, encompassing Dell PowerScale, Dell PowerEdge, and Dell PowerSwitch, into the broader scope of ADAS/AD systems.
