Zenuity and CERN to develop AV machine learning

Zenuity has joined forces with CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, to develop fast machine learning for autonomous vehicles (AVs).

Zenuity - an autonomous driving software company - is hoping the collaboration will aid the development of AVs that can make decisions and predictions more quickly, thereby avoiding accidents.

The partners will also aim to reduce the runtime and memory footprint of deep learning algorithms while minimising energy consumption and cost.

They will use CERN’s Field-Programmable Gate Arrays, a hardware solution that is expected to execute decision-making algorithms in micro-seconds for machine learning applications.

    VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and ITS Russia are to partner on the development of intelligent transport systems (ITS). The aim of Project CAVLANE is to develop new services, products and standards, particularly for border crossings. Part of the project involves testing ITS services for drivers before and after border crossings, such as queue cautions that are hoped to make traffic flow more smoothly at the Nuijamaa border crossing point and standardised European Union vehicle to vehicle (V2V)

    As vehicles become highly independent and begin to drive and react to traffic on their own, autonomous systems will aggregate and process data from a variety of on-board sensors and connected infrastructure, says ABI Research. This forces the industry to hit a hard reset on advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) architectures, currently dominated by distributed processing and smart sensors. Automotive OEMs will need to adopt new platforms based on powerful, centralised processors and high-speed low la

    Perceptions of machine vision being an expensive solution are being challenged by developments in both core technologies and ancillaries. Here, Jason Barnes and David Crawford look at the latest developments in the sector. A notable aspect of machine vision is the flexibility it offers in terms of how and how much data is passed around a network. With smart cameras, processing capabilities at the front end mean that only that which is valid need be communicated back to a central processor of any descripti
