Why autonomous vehicles will rely on edge computing and not the cloud When driving a vehicle, milliseconds matter. Autonomous vehicles are no different, even though it may be your AI that drives them. AI = data + compute, and you want your compute to be as close to your data as possible...
Autonomous cars must rely on the presence of sensors situated in various parts of the vehicle to sense their surroundings. Lidar is mostly used for ranging purposes, measure distances, identify lane markings and anomalies such as holes and pits on the road. Radar sensors are used to track other...
Yandex released a new video of its two Toyota Prius V development mules driving around in snowy conditions. Winter weather is challenging for self-driving cars not only because of reduced traction but because snow can obscure the lane markings autonomous vehicles rely on as a visual cue to orien...
Autonomous cars, or self-driving vehicles, rely on advanced software systems to enable features such as robo-taxis, adaptive cruise control, adaptive headlamp control, traffic sign recognition, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automated braking, and more. These software systems utilize ar...
Society has defined what it means for humans to drive safely. To get autonomous vehicles on the road, we need to do the same. Read more Your browser does not support the video tag. Your browser does not support the video tag. It all comes down to safety ...
Autonomous cars have come a long way, but the majority of them still rely on a human driver to take the wheel in an event of an emergency. That may change, however: Some companies are experimenting with remote-controlled systems where a single human operator would be able to take remote ...
Can self-driving cars navigate roundabouts? Roundabouts, circular intersections that grant right of way to drivers inside the circle, are an increasingly common feature of U.S. roads—in part because they reduce both traffic delays and accidents. However, they rely ... ...
Interestingly, however (and perhaps frustratingly), it may be more expensive to insure self-driving cars in the short-term. That's because actuaries, who rely on large bodies of data to assess risk, which determines insurance premiums, simply don't have access to much data on self-driving ...
“by-the-hour” hotel rooms, Cohen and Hopkins predict. “Private [autonomous cars] may also be put to commercial use, as it is just a small leap to imagine Amsterdam’s Red Light District ‘on the move,'” they write. Alternatively, and less controversially, Ikea’s research arm...
Automotive interior supplier Yanfeng made a splash in Silicon Valley by offering its prediction of what the inside of autonomous cars will look like someday. CGTN’s Mark Niu hopped in for peek. In Silicon Valley, the world’s largest automotive interior supplier –Yanfenghas unveiled t...
