LG And Mercedes-Benz Team Up To Develop A System To Power Self-Driving Cars

LG is partnering up with Mercedes-Benz to make the future of driving smarter and less about the drivers themselves. The Korean company announced that the duo are jointly working on “next-generation camera systems” which they said will allow computers and algorithms to handle “some aspects” of the driving experience. LG told The Verge that it will provide the “core components” of self-driving cars from Mercedes-Benz in the future. That joint system will be based on LG’s existing ‘ADAS’ (Advanced Drive Assistance System) products — which include cameras that produce alerts when a vehicle changes lane, read road signs, check the driver’s health status and issue proximity-based warnings for obstacles — by licensing Mercedes-Benz’s fascinating 6D Vision technology to advance LG’s tech.

Not too long ago, we took a look at the ASUS Chromebox, a device reminiscent of a Mac Mini which ran the Chrome OS operating system, but required the user to provide their own monitor and speakers. LG has taken that concept to it’s logical conclusion with the Chromebase ($329). This device is also a desktop version of a Chromebook, but is more reminiscent of an iMac rather than a Mac Mini. The result? You get an entire system in one physical unit (dubbed “all-in-one”), which can lead to some overall cost and space savings. But does it really save you that much money? Is it a system worth owning? Keep reading to find out more, and to enter the giveaway for a chance to win the Chromebase! About the LG Chromebase The LG Chromebase looks very much like an iMac: the internals are built-into the rear of the screen. You can grab it from Amazon for just $329. The in...
