Samsung plans to get into the self-driving car industry

Samsung might soon be getting into the self-driving car business, but maybe not the way you’d think. The South Korean technology giant has just released its plans to create a team that will develop car parts for other companies. This new automotive division will be separate from Samsung’s other three business units, and will focus on producing components to be used in self-driving cars. The press release states that the division will begin focusing on in-car infotainment systems, satellite navigation, and the manufacturing of autonomous vehicle components.

 

I believe it's a smart move from Samsung, especially since they already have a car division and a phone division. The self-driving car industry is a possible emerging market and Samsung can make a lot of money this way without taking a big risk by making an entire car on their own.

It looks like the giant is growing even bigger.

Is there anything Samsung doesn't do at this point

Is there anything they do badly?

If anyone can pull this off its Samsung and IMO they've got the best business model too. It'll never work if everyone goes about it in a different way, what it needs is someone to set standards and create the infrastructure required to unite the industry and push the tech forward into the general market in a unified way.

Main Rig:-

Ryzen 7 3800X | Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming | 16GB Team Group Dark Pro 3600Mhz | Corsair MP600 1TB PCIe Gen 4 | Sapphire 5700 XT Pulse | Corsair H115i Platinum | WD Black 1TB | WD Green 4TB | EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650W | Asus TUF GT501 | Samsung C27HG70 1440p 144hz HDR FreeSync 2 | Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS |

 

Server:-

Intel NUC running Server 2019 + Synology DSM218+ with 2 x 4TB Toshiba NAS Ready HDDs (RAID0)

I was at a Samsung info night earlier this year and their CEO for APAC stated that if they think they can do it, they'll do it: printers, fridges, microwaves, flash manufacturing.

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

They literally create everything, they have a military branch, they build oil tankers and skyscrapers, I can continue forever. But they still can't get design right. Quality - sure, but goddamn if the galaxy isn't ugly.

well... the phones do have a vibrate function for a reason.
