How Artificial Intelligence Can Create A Real World Simulation For Autonomous Cars

Audi plans to make five new-energy vehicle models in China by 2022, the company's China head Joachim Wedler said today. Autonomous Intelligent Driving (AID) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Audi AG with a fleet of test vehicles that are running an autonomous vehicle simulation platform from Cognata, an Israeli artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning company. Their platform uses AI, deep learning and computer vision in a realistic and safe simulation environment to simulate and validate autonomous vehicles prior vehicles moving to test phases on real roads. "Previously autonomous vehicles were a hyped AI experiment and companies were at the stage of trying out prototypes on the road. Autonomous vehicles have now evolved into a more mature product that demands human-like performance, which means zero tolerance for safety issues and efficiency in a high traffic environment," said Danny Atsmon, CEO, Cognata.
