The Car of the Future May Have...Legs
Automobiles have played a huge part in American history, but the rise of the gasoline-powered horseless carriage was not preordained. Cars as we know them evolved in response to a specific set of circumstances. Given the proper impetus, they might easily—radically—evolve again.
By the turn of the 20th century, inventors had built engines run by steam and electricity as well as gas. Each had crippling drawbacks. Steam-powered cars took a long time to fire up; electric cars were slow and... [Lire la suite]

Sometimes, accurate ADAS sensors are not enough
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.

What is driving risk and why most apps DO NOT measure it although they seem to be interesting
What is driving risk and why most apps DO NOT measure it although they seem to be interesting
Driving risk assessment is now of interest of :
. telematics solutions providers
. fleet managers (for prevention)
. car insurers (for prevention, and UBI)
A lot of applications then explain how they estimate driving risk.
But, by the way, what is driving risk ?
A lot of people seem to think that driving risk and accident are quite the same. If I observe accident, then I will learn and do stats and find a way to estimate driving risk.... [Lire la suite]

New usage of the real time driving risk assessment system SafetyNex : datafusion for ADAS and driverless
New usage of the real time driving risk assessment system SafetyNex : datafusion for ADAS and driverless
The French company NEXYAD has been developing the 1st real time driving risk assessment module SafetyNex .A low cost implementation of this technology is proposed to car insurers and fleet managers in order to :
. prevent from accident : SafetyNex alerts driver before danger, letting time to slow down and avoid accident
. record usage and risk profiles for UBI (Usage Based Insurance)
