Wipro, Genesys sign pact for autonomous car solutions

BENGALURU: Software services major Wipro and Genesys International Corporation have signed a pact to develop solutions for autonomous vehicles. While Genesys will use its core strength and the expertise to develop high definition maps and content, Wipro will develop the navigational and control technology for autonomous system and smart mobility companies, said Genesys in a statement.As part of the pact, Wipro and Genesys first worked on creating a high definition map of the Wipro campus in Bengaluru and that has now been enabled the pilot vehicle, developed by Wipro, to drive around the campus autonomously.Infosys, India’s second largest software services exporter, tested a driverless golf cart nearly a year ago to show its capabilities in the autonomous vehicle industry.“Wipro’s partnership with Genesys will further accelerate the deployment of these solutions in the autonomous system space. This partnership enhances Wipro’s offering in the autonomous system market and reinforces our ability to support the initiative of our global customers,” K R Sanjiv, Chief Technology Officer, Wipro, was quoted in the statement. Genesys, an expert in advanced maps for car navigation, is now stepping up focus on high definition maps and recently completed HD maps for 1200 km of road and street network for an autonomous driving project within a retirement community, said the company.
