Sensing, understanding, predicting, and controlling a self-driving car through layered AI, maps, and safeguards.
Self-driving systems rely more on maps than sensors in urban canyons, masking real-time perception gaps beneath precise cartography.
The most expensive part of a self-driving stack isn’t the sensors but the vast, privately curated training data used to teach it.
Lidar spin rates can be optimized to save power without compromising safety by leveraging neural networks to infer distance.
Autonomous cars routinely simulate billions of virtual miles daily, vastly outpacing real-world testing to expose edge-case failures.
