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]

5 Ways Artificial Intelligence is Impacting the Automotive Industry Finding applications of artificial intelligence in the automotive industry requires only a scant reading of news headlines. From IBM Watson’s partnership with the General Motors OnStar platform to Toyota’s $1 billion investment in AI-based self-driving technology, the marriage of AI with automotive technology has surely been consummated. It seems that every stakeholder in the automotive industry is looking for a way to capitalize on recent advances in AI technology. ... [Lire la suite]

Five trends transforming the Automotive Industry The mobility of the future is “eascy” – electrified, autonomous, shared, connected and “yearly” updated. In this study, we describe the factors influencing the sector leading up to 2030 in the key US, Europe, and China markets. It also describes how the automotive industry should restructure itself in terms of volume, scale, and complexity. Through mathematical modeling of key performance indicators and demographic trends, the paper discusses: Mobility behaviour of users... [Lire la suite]

HOW ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS (ADAS) WILL IMPACT FLEETS ADAS are already having a huge impact on the fleet industry, not just from a driver safety aspect, but from a vehicle maintenance standpoint too. Core functionalities include adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking (AEB), crash collision mitigation and blind spot monitoring. There are plenty more that could be included, and each has been designed to improve driver safety. For example, AEB has been cited as reducing real-world crashes by 38%. The... [Lire la suite]
