Ford Global Technologies patents an off-road autonomous driving system
Microsoft AirSim for testing of vehicle AI system
US Patent and Trademark Office has granted Ford Global Technologies a patent for an off-road autonomous driving system. According to the patent, the system would u lize wideranging sensors like radars, Lidar, and cameras, it will also have detectors to detect road condi ons, which will be supported by data like topographic maps etc. The vehicle system includes a processor with access to a memory storing instruc ons executable by the processor.
Microso has expanded its ar ficial intelligence simulator to include autonomous car research. The AirSim (Aerial Informa cs and Robo cs) system can now be used for tes ng the safety of vehicle ar ficial intelligence systems. AirSim is an open source ar ficial intelligence simulator which enables interfaces to common robo c pla orms such as a Robot Opera ng System (ROS).

Arity offers accident prediction
Tesla has launched a new version of its sports car- Roadster, which can speed up to 60 mph in 1.9 sec. The car has a 200 kWh ba ery pack that offers 630 miles of highway driving range. It will be available in 2020 at $200,000. Tesla also unveiled its truck- Tesla Semi. It has a range of 500 miles on a single charge. Tesla Semi will go into produc on in 2019.
Arity has introduced a suite of three new data products designed to help reduce the number of collisions and fatali es on roads. Called Risk Data Stream, Drive Shield Rou ng and Drive Shield Alerts, these new offerings from Arity help enable automo ve OEMs, telema cs service providers (TSPs), insurance providers and other vendors to predict risk of accidents – and boost safety.
Hyundai Mobis comes up with autonomous reverse-driving technology Hyundai Mobis has developed reverse driving support technology that autonomously steers when a car goes back without the driver having to operate the steering wheel. It stores the speed and travel paths when a car moves forward and automa cally turns the car back by calcula ng the speed and travel paths in reverse. Under this method, a steering angle sensor, a wheel sensor and a yaw sensor installed inside a vehicle measure the car’s speed, distance and degree of rota on.
