Hyundai Motor expands partnership with quantum computing firm IonQ, Auto News, ET Auto

New Delhi: Hyundai Motor Company and IonQ, a quantum computing company have today announced a new project designed to apply quantum machine learning to image classification and 3D object detection for future mobilities.

With this collaboration, IonQ and Hyundai will improve computational functionality through more efficient machine learning on quantum computers, as they can process enormous amounts of data faster and more accurately than classical systems. Image classification and 3D object detection are foundational steps toward the next generation of mobilities, including autonomous vehicles, the media release stated.

“We are excited to expand our existing relationship with Hyundai Motor to focus on another key aspect of next-generation mobility,” said Peter Chapman, President and CEO, IonQ. “From partnering on battery research for electric vehicles to image classification and object detection research for automated driving, we expect to see quantum computers become an even more integral part in developing novel transportation solutions.”

According to the companies, the project will develop quantum techniques for the broad task of 3D object detection, expanding the current work on recognizing road signs to include other objects like pedestrians or cyclists. Running object recognition tasks on IonQ’s latest quantum computer, IonQ Aria, will enable more efficient processing with lower costs, leading to the development of safer, more intelligent mobilities in the future. With 20 algorithmic qubits (#AQ), IonQ Aria is the industry’s most powerful quantum computer based on standard application-oriented industry benchmarks.

The next phase will see the two companies apply IonQ’s machine learning data to Hyundai’s test environment and simulate various real-world scenarios.

The two companies had already partnered to use quantum computers in improving the performance, cost, and safety of lithium batteries for EVs earlier this year.
