For experienced drivers, getting from point A to B in a city might seem simple. They survey their surroundings, pick a route, and punch the accelerator. But this process only appears simple because humans are naturally gifted at quickly inferring how others around them are likely to act, so that they can predict their next moves and…
“One of the things that I loved about being a student was there were just all of these different ideas,” says Yisong Yue, a professor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Caltech. “I loved hearing everyone’s viewpoints, and I continue to value that as a professor.” In addition to having the unique ability to both give…
ASIMO, the world’s first bi-pedal humanoid robot, “lived” just 22 years. But that brief time ushered in an era of robotic acceptance and innovation that has fueled progress in robotics, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles and automation of all kinds. When Honda began researching humanoid robots in 1986, its engineers were interested in creating a walking…
As autonomous vehicle use grows, AV companies and the League of American Bicyclists are collaborating on how to ensure cyclists and motorists can share the roads safely, even if the “motorist” is artificial intelligence software. As part of the League’s mission to make roads safer, Ken McLeod, its policy director, has worked with Argo AI, a…
A lot of people who work in the technology industry are tantalized by the potential of autonomous vehicles. For them, true self-driving is the Holy Grail of innovation: A chance to put artificial intelligence to the ultimate test by reinventing transportation. That reinvention couldn’t be more relevant to Blind and low-vision people like myself. If…
Long before this publication launched to chronicle the development of self-driving technology and the industry from our vantage point at Argo AI, the term “ground truth” was well-established in computer science, artificial intelligence, and, for centuries before those fields existed, cartography. As the Oxford Reference defines it, “ground truth” refers to “the facts that are found when a location shown…
