Kinetica Maps Future of Automotive Industry Powered by Extreme Data
Company to Support Growing Need for Advanced Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Across the Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Value-Chain—from the In-Vehicle Experience to Location-based Services to Traffic and Smart City Management
An Introduction to Kickbox.js, a Code Acceleration Library for Kinetica and Mapbox
Building the Open Source Software Stack for Connected Transportation
AGL is a collaborative open source project that is bringing together automakers, suppliers and technology companies to accelerate the development and adoption of a fully-open software stack for connected vehicle services. With Linux at its core, AGL is developing an open platform from the ground up that can serve as the de facto industry standard to enable rapid development of new features and technologies for the automotive segment.
"We are proud to welcome Kinetica to the Automotive Grade Linux community,” said Dan Cauchy, Executive Director of Automotive Grade Linux at The Linux Foundation. “As we evolve the AGL platform beyond infotainment, support from companies like Kinetica is crucial. We look forward to leveraging their expertise in data analytics as we continue to develop solutions and support for telematics and vehicle-to-cloud services.”
Kinetica is enabling automakers, suppliers and related startups to accelerate how vehicle data insight is generated by combining the accelerated analytics of a GPU database, real-time location intelligence and the power of AI. Linux-based open source software will help to accelerate innovation and speed up time-to-market for automotive customers.
Additionally, as part of its automotive strategy, Kinetica is making Kickbox, its Mapbox integration, available to developers via GitHub. Mapbox is the location data platform for mobile and web applications, providing the building blocks to add location features like maps, search and navigation into any experience.
While Kinetica’s and Mapbox’s software already work together natively, the Kickbox integration abstracts away complexity and enables developers to more rapidly build location-based mapping solutions across any industry with minimal code. Kinetica is contributing the Kickbox code to the open source community to help support innovation in location-based analytics and visualization in the automotive industry and beyond.
