Ford Raises $1 Billion Investment in AI for Autopilot

[Global Scientific Report] According to foreign media reports, Ford, a well-known American automaker, announced on February 10 that it will invest $1 billion in Argo AI, a startup company, over the next five years. This will make Ford a major shareholder of Argo AI. .

Argo AI is committed to developing software related to autonomous driving technology with its expertise in artificial intelligence. This move by Ford made it the automotive company's Detroit-wide automotive company with the largest investment in autonomous driving technology.

Argo AI is headquartered in Pittsburgh. Its CEO Bryan Salesky and COO Peter Rander once worked for Google and Uber. Ford said Argo AI will continue to operate independently after the investment.

With the increasing attention of driverless technology, it is not uncommon for auto companies to invest in technology companies. Last year, U.S. General Motors purchased Cruise Technologies, a start-up company for autopilot technology, for $1 billion, and Uber bought Otto, an auto freight company, for $680 million.

High Power High Voltage Power Supplies

The High-power High Voltage Power supply is a customized high-voltage power supply family developed by iDealTek-Electronics based on the design and development of IGBT switching elements.


Hps High Power High Voltage Power Supplies


HP series High power high-voltage power supply is the first generation high-power HVPS designed by iDealTek-Electronics, adopting the standard 19-inch chassis structure to facilitate the integrated installation of high-voltage systems. The output power ranges from 5kW to 15kW (single unit), with the output voltage ranging from 1KV to 60kV.

HPS series ultra-high-power high-voltage power supplies are developed on the basis of HP series using internal high-power high voltage modules in parallel built in 19-inch standard cabinet with control, inverter, high voltage transformer split design structure, output power ranges from 50KW to 300KW with output voltage up to 300KV. The power supplies adopt a mixed cooling method of air cooling of the control part, water cooling and oil cooling of the main power unit. The internal module redundancy technology and perfect protection circuit ensure the excellent reliability of the power supply under high-voltage and high-power output.

Compared with the traditional linear high power High Voltage Power Supplies, our high-power high voltage power supplies of IGBT-based topology can achieve output power beyond that of the linear high voltage power supplies and also break through the ceiling where the output voltage cannot exceed tens of KV, besides the same electronic characteristics of high precision low ripple and high stability as the linear high-voltage power supplies, our high power high voltage power supplies are also featured for high efficiency, fast response characteristics that linear high voltage power supply can't match.

At present, the production of high power high voltage power supplies is difficult and the applications are diverse and scattered. Basically, they are mainly customized. The industries that have been aiding include mining gravel, ultra-high-power capacitor charging, electron beam melting, electron gun, ion acceleration, ion implantation and other cutting-edge industries.
