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…
On the surface, you might not expect to find much in common between the five-time Stanley Cup-winning Pittsburgh Penguins professional hockey team and Argo AI, a leading self-driving technology company — other than the fact that they both call Pittsburgh home. But look closer and you’ll find that both organizations rely heavily on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and…
In a new series, Ground Truth explores iconic technology throughout pop culture history that left an indelible impression about the future of automation and what self-driving could become. Not necessarily the most capable robots or flashiest driverless cars, but the ones that connected most deeply with us and remain parked in our brains forever. Flashback…
Ariel Wolf is the general counsel for the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association (AVIA), an organization established to educate the public, lawmakers, and regulators on the safety and societal benefits of autonomous vehicle technology. Self-driving. Fully driverless. Semi-autonomous. ADS. ADAS. Automated. Fully automated self-driving. A lot of terminology is tossed around by journalists, policymakers, analysts and…
As the world looks to shift to cleaner, greener modes of transportation, bicycling can be one of the best, most affordable options. Unfortunately, interactions within traffic can pose a danger. In Miami alone, for example, there were 828 bicycle crashes in 2019, many of which involved cars. So as the Covid-19 pandemic has spurred an uptick in…
The 2022 Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR 2022) is nearly here. Thousands of computer scientists, software engineers, and researchers from around the globe will gather in New Orleans to review and discuss their latest work in artificial intelligence and developing other computer programs to advance the way we work, live, play, create, and move…
