AI Simulator Being Created To Test Autonomous Vehicles


The UK government is reportedly granting £2.7 million (247 million rupees) to private organizations to develop a virtual reality simulator that will be the national standard in testing connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs). Dubbed OmniCAV, the project is led by Latent Logic in Oxford, the University of Warwick’s Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), and 10 other organizations – at a total development cost of £3.9 million (358 million rupees).
OmniCAV will make use of artificial intelligence (AI) trained models of vehicles and pedestrians to create a highly accurate ways for manufacturers to train and develop the AI that operates CAVs. Big data teams up with advanced automotive technology such as OmniCAV and will also be fed with data from traffic cameras, near-miss analyses, accidents, and highly-detailed scans of real roads. These are the elements necessary for deep learning, an AI training methodology which we’ve previously detailed here on Analytics Training.
The end result will be an extensive, open-access library of VR scenarios that can theoretically put CAVs through every conceivable traffic scenario, thus giving them the ability to prepare for or prevent any untoward traffic incidents. Progress will be determined by how the CAVs perform during simulations, compared to how real vehicles perform in equivalent real-world scenarios.
As Latent Logic CEO Kirsty Lloyd-Jukes explains, “…we need to know that driverless cars really can handle our challenging road conditions, on country lanes as much as crowded city streets. Virtual reality ‘driving tests’ are the only way of doing this, which is why we’ve brought together these 11 leading organisations to build a world-first, AI-based simulation of real Oxfordshire roads to securely and reliably test autonomous car safety.”
Of course, OmniCAV is far from the only self-driving technology that’s being developed in the global market today. Right here in India, there are several startups seeking to create their own smart and autonomous tech in the automotive industry. This includes Pranav Manpuria’s Flux Auto, which Analytics India Magazine reports is focused on developing more affordable models of driverless truck technology. At a comparatively low cost of $3000 to $4500 (Rs. 214,000 to 321,000 rupees), Flux Auto wants to introduce a democratized autonomous vehicle system that doesn’t make use of the expensive Lidar system and instead relies on the company’s own algorithms which are designed to work with cheaper equipment.[Source]-https://analyticstraining.com/ai-simulator-being-created-to-test-autonomous-vehicles/
big data courses in mumbai at Asterix Solution is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. With the rate at which memory cost decreased the processing speed of data never increased and hence loading the large set of data is still a big headache and here comes Hadoop as the solution for it.

Why, when and how to return Stream from your Java API instead of a collection

Introduction Collections are basic and commonly used data structures. Programmers from the beginning of their career learn how to use them to receive, process and return data. Getting more advanced in Java programming, they find stream() method to convert a collection into a stream and learn how to process data using some of the stream’s useful methods like map, flatMap or reduce. They could also notice that other APIs in Java return a stream too e.g. String.lines(), Matcher.results(), Files.find(), Random.ints(). If you have experience with consuming streams but haven’t produced them yet, this article is for you. I’m going to show you some scenarios where streams can be very convenient and examples on how to use them. Additionally, I shortly mention error handling and resource management. The article is based on standard Java library java.util.stream. It’s related neither to reactive streams nor to other implementation of streams like e.g. Vavr. Also, I’m not going to cover a...

What is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes (also known as k8s or “kube”) is an open source container orchestration platform that automates many of the manual processes involved in deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications. In other words, you can cluster together groups of hosts running Linux containers, and Kubernetes helps you easily and efficiently manage those clusters. Kubernetes clusters can span hosts across on-premise, public, private, or hybrid clouds. For this reason, Kubernetes is an ideal platform for hosting cloud-native applications that require rapid scaling, like real-time data streaming through Apache Kafka. Kubernetes was originally developed and designed by engineers at Google. Google was one of the early contributors to Linux container technology and has talked publicly about how everything at Google runs in containers. (This is the technology behind Google’s cloud services.) Google generates more than 2 billion container deployments a week, all powered by its ...

Best way to learn Java programming

Having said that I am writing this post dedicated to all my young (or I should say beginner) fellows who want to attain a certain level of proficiency in java technology and somewhere would like to take my advice on this. Keep in mind that if you do not like the way to learn java, I am proposing in this post, then just ignore me. Period. OR better, suggest me what you think is the better way to learn java fast or easily. Here I am assuming the people reading this post will be, who are very new to language, so I will start by listing first thing first. Make sure you have prepared your Java development environment ready i.e. You have installed JDK/JRE and you have an IDE like Eclipse. 1) Learn the language basics This is the first step for very obvious reason. If you don’t know the basics then you will never know either what to do next or what you are doing wrong. Initially, I do not expect from you to become the master of all java basic stuffs like keywords, core concepts o...
