The signing ceremony was attended by Huawei division General Manager Jin Yongfu and Baidu Vice President Shang Guobin. The collaboration aims to improve the navigation and travel ...

Two years ago, Ecopia received almost $1 million from the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN) to fund this map’s development. The work was done using artificial intelligence technology to plot crucial information about Toronto’s land cover and transportation features. The data is essential to supporting safe and effective AV transportation and navigation. Ecopia also invested ...

Una vera e propria ‘strada intelligente’ dove migliorare la sicurezza, i flussi di traffico e il comfort di guida, con benefici anche in termini di risparmio energetico e sostenibilità. È la Smart Road che ENEA ha realizzato nel Centro Ricerche Casaccia (Roma), nell’ambito del programma “Ricerca di Sistema Elettrico” (RSE) finanziato dal Ministero dell’Ambiente e ...

A new method named MonoXiver uses AI to build up reliable 3D maps of a camera’s surroundings based only on 2D photos. The technology could be especially useful for navigation in self-driving cars. As 2D representations of a 3D world, photos are missing a huge amount of information about the actual sizes of the objects ...

Driverless cars can struggle to distinguish between a pedestrian and a cardboard cutout of a person when it is dark or particularly rainy. A system that uses AI to identify objects based on their heat emission patterns could help autonomous vehicles to operate more safely in all outdoor conditions. Zubin Jacob at Purdue University in ...

Indonesia’s National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) and Japan’s National Space Policy Secretariat of the Cabinet Office have signed a letter of intent (LOI) for cooperation to develop and utilize satellite navigation systems and technologies. Regarding the LOI for cooperation with Japan, BRIN’s Head of Research Organization for Electronics and Informatics Budi Prawara said Japan’s ...

국토교통부 국토지리정보원은 고속국도와 일반국도를 대상으로 자율주행의 핵심 인프라인 정밀도로지도 구축을 완료하고 지난달 27일부터 무상으로 제공하고 있다. 정밀도로지도는 차선, 표지, 도로시설 등을 도로 디지털트윈으로 구현한 고정밀 전자지도로 차선 단위의 차량위치 결정이 가능해 자율주행을 지원하도록 제작된 지도를 말한다. 자율주행 뿐만 아니라 고정밀 내비게이션과 운전 중 발생할 수 있는 상황을 차량이 스스로 인지해 판단하는 전자 제어 시스템인 ADAS(Advanced ...

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has created a 3D simulation tool to test automated vehicles in virtual off-road environments modeled after real-world conditions. The research expands SwRI’s investment into software-in-the-loop solutions to test connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) in scenarios ranging from congested roadways to off-road terrain. SwRI’s simulator consists of a graphics engine, dynamics engine, ...

A collaboration between the Hyundai Motor Company and IonQ will see the latter’s quantum computer machine vision algorithms being further developed. The system can conduct object detection on 3D data from autonomous vehicles. The pair will also use IonQ’s quantum computers to simulate electrochemical reactions of varying metal catalysts. The newly announced projects build on ...

Baidu said on Monday that it has received permission from regional authorities in the southern Chinese cities of Shenzhen and Guangzhou to provide automakers with its high-definition mapping technology to enable advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) on production vehicles. The company claimed that its lane-level HD map and in-car software would allow vehicles to change ...

Kodiak Robotics, Inc. has been on a bit of a roll lately, developing automated solutions for long-haul truck routes in the southern parts of the U.S. The self-driving trucking company made a big announcement on that front in August, unveiling a partnership with Pilot Company, the largest travel center operator in North America, to develop ...

China has mentioned that automakers should apply for licences to gather geographic information utilizing sensors on clever automobiles, highlighting Beijing’s safety considerations in regards to the rising sophistication of good automobiles’ mapping capabilities. The assertion, a clarification of China’s surveying and mapping legislation, displays regulators efforts to forestall any situation the place highly-detailed visible information ...

Zaragoza se ha convertido en la primera ciudad española en acoger un proyecto de logística autónoma con los robots de reparto a domicilio de la empresa de movilidad autónoma Goggo Network. El proyecto contará con cuatro fases con el objetivo de validar la su seguridad, así como la aceptación pública, técnica y comercial, para finalmente ...

Baidu, Inc., a leading AI company with strong internet foundation, today unveiled its next-generation fully autonomous vehicle (AV) Apollo RT6, an all-electric, production-ready model with a detachable steering wheel. Designed for complex urban environments, Apollo RT6 will be put into operation in China in 2023 on Apollo Go, Baidu’s autonomous ride-hailing service. With a per ...

Vehicles using artificial neural networks to function do not have past memory no matter how many times they have been through that route. Researchers from Cornell University have created a way to help autonomous vehicles create “memories” of previous experiences and use them in future navigation, especially during harsh weather conditions when the vehicles cannot ...
