Computing onboard, in real time, the risk that the driver is currently taking There is a software component called SafetyNex that can compute onboard (and not on the cloud), in real time (and not on a back office server one week after), at each moment (i.e. 20 times per second), the risk that driver is currently taking. This driving risk is computed with anticipation. The software component is called SafetyNex, proposed by the company NEXYAD (We Save Lives). If driver is a human being, it has been shown that alerting driver a few... [Lire la suite]

DEEP LEARNING FOR AUTOMOTIVE - A HETEROGENEOUS APPROACH The Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing our world. Exponential growth in processing power in silicon and simultaneous reduction in its cost has created a new class of embedded technologies that have built-in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The CNN architecture is inspired by the neurons of the human brain. This is also known as ‘Deep Learning’, essentially because, layers of ‘Deep Neural Networks’ are trained using data sets from the real world. The ultimate goal... [Lire la suite]
