The Integrated Driving Sensor – Far, Fast, and Precise
The following YouTube videos and associated descriptions are from a recent interview with Behrooz Rezvani, Founder and CEO of Neural Propulsion Systems. It is clear that NPS is looking beyond the era of human driving, where up to 94% of crashes are caused by human misbehavior/error. In the driverless era, insurance will shift from insuring…
Telecom Techniques for Autonomous Sensing
A full-stack autonomous sensing platform for ten percent the cost of conventional methods is what Perceptive promises. Their path to this dramatic cost reduction is to apply both principles and components of modern telecommunications. Similar to a modern wireless network, fiber optic cables carry laser and radar signals between small, inexpensive antennas and a central…
The Adjustable High-Beam and More #CES2019
Improving vehicle headlights for people will also improve the ability of autonomous vehicles to navigate the road. Kishore Ahuja, Senior Vice President of North American Light, Inc, discusses and shows how they are creating headlights that dynamically and automatically react to its environment (e.g. automatic brightness/dimming) and adjusts to the contours of the road (swivels…
Safety and People First On World Safety Automation Day
Although the moniker for the World Safety Summit On Autonomous Technology is a great descriptor of the conference held on October 2nd at Levi Stadium in the heart of Silicon Valley, the overarching theme was about people. Sure, there were autonomous vehicle technology stalwarts, like Intel, Nvidia, and Cruise (GM) and start-ups like Voyage, AutonomouStuff,…
Viodi View – 05/07/19
Moderating a panel is an amazing honor and incredible learning opportunity, as it provides a direct conduit to a group of experts on a particular topic. I had this privilege at the recent NTCA Business & Tech conference (stay tuned for a future ViodiTV interview summarizing that panel). Equally, it is a huge honor to…
Sensors Galore & More #CES2019
Passive and active sensors that detect low-frequency (audio) to the invisible (Radar, Lidar and Thermal) to cameras, will be central to creating autonomous vehicles that yield safer driving. Similarly, outward communications, whether via dynamic signage, audio blasts or some other means, to the humans walking, riding or driving the streets is critical for mobility machines…
