Real time driving risk assessment for autonomous driving systems improvement Autonomous driving systems usually have the following structure: This chain takes a road scene and delivers an action: for 1 road scene, 1 action.Then, if the road scene is different from those imagined by engineers, the action is potentially wrong and it is dangerous. This chain cannot adapt to new unknown situations. NEXYAD has developed a unique innovative Global Road Safety platform that computes in real tim at each moment (20 times per second), the...

Silicon Valley is winning the race to build the first driverless cars Henry Ford didn’t invent the motor car. The late 1800s saw a flurry of innovation by hundreds of companies battling to deliver on the promise of fast, efficient and reasonably-priced mechanical transportation. Ford later came to dominate the industry thanks to the development of the moving assembly line. Today the sector is poised for another breakthrough with the advent of cars that drive themselves. But unlike the original wave of automobile innovation, the race... [Lire la suite]

Why Silicon Valley has its sights set on the UK as its European driverless car hub few years from now, you hail a Waymo driverless taxi through your smartphone app. The car that pulls up may have been built in the US, but the interior is packed with specialist components – cameras, sensors and software – produced from a supply chain across the world.  Some of it may have been developed by a small Oxford university spin-out the Silicon Valley giant snapped up last week. Software, simulations and artificial... [Lire la suite]

Are Driverless Cars The Ultimate Use Case For The Telecom Industry?

I believe that there are... [Lire la suite]

Opinion | Why driverless cars make sense for India More than two years back, the then minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari, said driverless cars will not be allowed in India because the government is not going to promote any technology that comes at the cost of jobs. On Wednesday, in his second innings as a minister holding the same portfolio, Gadkari simply reiterated this stance. His argument was similar to what he said two years back -- the country has 40 lakh drivers and there is a shortage of 25... [Lire la suite]
