Introduction
The subject of research is Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in the automotive industry. Many advances
have been made to make vehicles “smarter” and
safer
- Advances in Collision Detection
- Parking Assistance Technology
-AI-Assisted Controls
-Conclusion
Definiton
• LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging): A mixture
of radar and laser technology, which measures
scattered light to find range or other information on
a distant target through the use of laser pulses. You
will often see police officers using lidar equipment
to track vehicle’s speed.
• GFLOP: A unit for measuring calculations per
second, 1 GFLOP being equal to 1 billion
calculations per second.
• GHz: Measurement of speed in cycles per second, in
this case applied to measure the speed of a
computer’s processor. 1 GHz is equal to 1 billion
cycles per second.
