NEXYAD CEO at a MOVEO roundtable with Madame la Ministre Delphine GENY-STEPHANN 27th Huly 2018 :   CEO of NEXYAD (also Vice President of the French research cluster for mobility « MOV’EO ») was discussing at a round table with Delphine GENY-STEPHANN, French State Secretary (Minister) of Industry. This took place at MOV’EO headquarters location in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray in Normandy, and it was about the future of French research clusters. It’s been a very interesting information and points of views... [Lire la suite]

NEXYAD ON FRENCH TV TO TALK ABOUT AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE NEXYAD CEO was interviewed on MOBILITY TV about Autonomous driving.  Very interesting questions about trends and predictable future of the autonomous vehicle in the world, in Europe, in France.

NEXYAD at the Autonomous Vehicle Conference in Paris : REGARDS CROISES ET DIALOGUE SUR LE VEHICULE AUTONOME NEXYAD presented a paper to this conference (organized by SIA). Presentation was about SafetyNex, an Artificial Intelligence algorithm that gives Autonomous Vehicles the awareness of risk, and that makes them more robust to unknown situations, safer, and more efficient.

NEXYAD presenting Artificial Intelligence for smart mobility at TNP forum The consulting company TNP presented Artificial Intelligence applications to smart mobility, and especially their SafetyNex AI algorithm : real time onboard driving risk assessment. NEXYAD explained how this AI algorithm is completely disrupting the autonomous vehicle concept : instad of imaging millions a scenarios of risky situations and finding the proper behaviour of the autonomous car, it is now possible to compute driving risk and control it with simple...

Example 1 of scenario where accurate detection and emergency braking can't avoid accident NEXYAD recently put to the market the only Artificial Intelligence module in the world that does real time risk assessment. The video below shows a typical use case where accurate detection and emergency braking cannot avoid accident and where only SafetyNex can save lives.      

Example 2 of scenario where accurate detection and emergency braking cannot avoid accident : SafetyNex is needed There are some use cases where only driving risk assessment provided by SafetyNex can avoid accident :  

DEEP LEARNING FOR ONBOARD APPLICATIONS: HIDDEN TRAP Now Deep Learning is used in onboard detection and pattern recognition applications. NEXYAD for instance uses Deep Learning in RoadNex (road detection without need of markings + detection of free space), and ObstaNex (obstacles detection). But if you do not analyse your INDUSTRIAL project in detail, you may have bad surprises : everone thinks he/she knows that the more numerous the training examples, the most accurate the KPIs. Let's say you used 1 billion km to train and... [Lire la suite]

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DRIVING RISK YOU TAKE AND ACCIDENT : THE "S" CURVE THEORY Let's say in a manufacture there is a very dangerous machine that may grind up your hand. If you are 10 km away from the machine, risk is "very" low. If you are 1 km away from the machine, risk is the same. If you are 10 m away from the machine ... risk is still very low ... but if you come closer (let's say 10 cm), suddenly risk becomes high ! This is not linear. In road safety, the Artificial Intelligence algorithm SafetyNex estimates 20 times per second... [Lire la suite]

Sometimes, accurate ADAS sensors are not enough in road safety, there are many cases where accurate ADAS sensors detection is not enough, because dangerous situations come from the notion of "surprise". This video shows some examples : NEXYAD developed a real time dynamical driving risk assessment SafetyNex that reads difficulties of the infrastructure on the digital map. This map is an a priori knowledge that should be used in addition to sensors. To know more : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY2aDm8kfy8

NEXYAD is proud to announce that their Aritificial Intelligence Algorithms go to Autonomous Driving market French High Tech Startup ISFM (Intelligent Systems for Mobility) selected Nexyad artificial intelligence algorithms for their "Milla" Smart Shuttle. ISFM is one of the companies selected by the Ubimobility 2018 program
