A new simulator to help car makers better understand how drivers will cope with and respond to the rising number of Driver Assistance (ADAS) and autonomous (AI) automotive technologies has been revealed by Ansible Motion. The latest iteration of Ansible Motion’s multi-million-pound Delta Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) simulator provides a safe and repeatable laboratory environment to test and validate the myriad ADAS systems that are increasingly...

At this year’s electronica, congatec showcased the fusion of embedded computing and embedded vision technology, - including artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning, to present holistic Embedded Vision platforms. The goal was to provide OEM customers with a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates as easily and efficiently as a standard USB device.

A team of embedded experts, Vecow, has introduced her powerful delivery for AI-oriented embedded computing applications, ECX-1400/1200 GTX Series GPU Computing Embedded Systems. The latest 8th generation Intel Coffee Lake workstation-grade platform running with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10 series graphics engine, up to 8K resolution and seven independent HD displays.

Xilinx, Inc. the leader in adaptive and intelligent computing, today announced that it is expanding its recently-announced Alveo data center accelerator cards portfolio with a new product, the Alveo U280.  The Alveo U280 card will offer new features including support for high-bandwidth memory (HBM2) and leading edge, high-performance server interconnect.

Enabling a new era of rapid innovation for any application by any developer, Xilinx, Inc.  CEO Victor Peng unveiled Versal – the industry's first adaptive compute acceleration platform (ACAP). Versal ACAPs combine Scalar Processing Engines, Adaptable Hardware Engines, and Intelligent Engines with leading-edge memory and interfacing technologies to deliver powerful heterogeneous acceleration for any application.

One reason why deep learning is a confusing concept to many is that it is often used alongside the terms Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Deep Learning (DL) is a subset of ML, which is itself a subset of AI. A DL algorithm is able to learn hidden patterns from the data by itself, combine them together, and build much more efficient decision rules.

In more recent years, the quality in artificial intelligence-driven transcription services has improved considerably. For example, between 2016-2017, Microsoft reported it had reduced its error rate by 12%, which puts the accuracy of its automated transcriptions currently at 94.9%. Automated transcription is where the video or audio file is converted into text file by voice recognition software.

Cambridge Consultants has announced DeepRay, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology that creates clear, undistorted views of the real world from a damaged or obscured moving image. Based on recent advances in deep learning, DeepRay’s power to see clearly in difficult, unpredictable situations could transform numerous machine vision and imaging applications, from autonomous driving to empowering healthcare professionals with more accurat...

AImotive, the full service autonomous driving technology provider, has released its aiSim2 simulator to significantly upgrade the speed and quality of testing and validating self-driving solutions. Unveiled at SLUSH, aiSim2 is the next generation of the award-winning aiSim, powered by a purpose-built engine that ensures a high level of physical realism, deterministic running alongside optimised hardware utilisation and flexibility.

IoT software specialist Wind River and Renesas Electronics Corporation are expanding their collaboration for connected, advanced driver assist systems (ADAS), and autonomous driving programmes, including plans to pre-validate Wind River software with the latest Renesas R-Car systems-on-chip (SoCs).
