HD maps are a critical component of autonomous vehicle technology, providing information on the physical environment in which the vehicle operates. The semantic layer of an HD map is a critical component of this information, representing the meaning and context of the physical environment. One of the most effective ways to encode this information is…

Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) is a technology that helps drivers to drive safely and efficiently. It is a combination of sensors, cameras, and other technologies that work together to help drivers monitor their speed, maintain their lane, and avoid collisions. ADAS can be found in many modern cars, and it is becoming increasingly popular…

Self-driving cars rely heavily on maps to navigate and make decisions while on the road. These maps must be accurate, detailed, and up-to-date in order for the car to operate safely and efficiently. However, as self-driving cars become more prevalent, it has become clear that the way maps are created and used needs to change.…

There’s a scene from The Office (American) where Michael so literally follows the instructions from his GPS that he drives into the lake while screaming ‘THE MACHINE KNOWS’. While it might seem like this was written for TV, it actually happened to a woman in Tobermory, ON and it’s easy to find other unbelievable driving…

ADAS enabled vehicles are most commonly driven on highways and main roads for a number of reasons. One reason is that these types of roads tend to have less complex driving scenarios compared to residential areas or side roads. Highways and main roads often have fewer intersections and more predictable traffic patterns, which can make…

Loose coupling and tight coupling refer to the degree of interdependence between different components in a system. In software development, loose coupling refers to the design of components that can operate independently of one another and do not rely heavily on the internal details of other components. Tight coupling, on the other hand, refers to…

Brute forcing is a method of searching through a search space by testing every possible solution. This method can be useful for validating search algorithms, as it provides a means of comparing the results of the search algorithm to the true solution. One way to validate search algorithms using brute forcing is to quantify the…

Camera calibration is the process of determining the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of a camera. Intrinsic parameters are properties of the camera itself, such as its focal length and principal point, while extrinsic parameters describe the position and orientation of the camera in the world. Accurate calibration is important for tasks such as 3D reconstruction,…

Self-driving cars have the potential to revolutionize the transportation industry by providing a low-cost, efficient, and safe alternative to traditional ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. In this article, we will estimate the unit economics of a self-driving car compared to an Uber driver to better understand the potential cost savings and benefits of this…
