Autonomous Vehicle = Vehicle + Eyes + Ears + Brain
We are in an Era of Artificial Intelligence.
Autonomous Vehicle is just the beginning
This Day ...
From WHO data, approximately 1.3M people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes. Most of the root cause are driver related (speeding, drunk and drive, distracted driving ...).
If human cannot make rational decision in driving, why not let computer algorithm or AI take over. Human can utilise the driving time for other meaningful tasks.
In Fact
In the past 7-8Y, many companies put their efforts in Autonomous Driving development.
Autonomous Vehicle Configuration
Lidar : Absolute object detection in POOR WEATHER CONDITION & high speed scenario.
Radar : Provide instantaneous velocity measurement and provide the first line of defense for perceiving incoming high speed traffic in challenging driving scenarios.
NF/FF Camera : Provides imagery data exceeding the dynamic range and resolution of human vision. Detects objects in the potential blind spot of other sensors.
High Performance Computing System (AVS) : Running AV AI module, brain in the vehicle to respond on all the events during operation.
Fall back Computing System (CAVS) : Backup to AVS, with partial AI safety module.
GPS : Provides high precision time synchronization and global navigation satellite system interfaces.
Mic : Provides Siren detection.
