The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), F1's governing body, says it will employ Computer Vision tech at the season-closing Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this weekend. Drivers know the exact lines to take at corners for optimal lap times, but sometimes racers go out of bounds as they try to gain an advantage, and officials need to check cars stay within track limits. Four people had to review around 1,200 potential violations in July's Austrian Grand Prix, and some track limit violations went unpunished in October's US Grand Prix. The FIA hopes to reduce the number of possible infringements officials manually review to around 50 per race. You can get these reports delivered daily direct to your inbox.

Third-generation system from French car parts giant said to improve range and resolution dramatically. Valeo, one of the world's largest providers of car parts and a leading supplier of sensors for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), is set to release new scanning lidar technology with claims of much-improved range and resolution. The Paris-listed company, which manufactures its lidar systems in southern Germany, says that the "third-generation" design will be launched to the market in 2024. "This new technology, which offers significantly enhanced performance, makes autonomous mobility a reality and provides previously unseen levels of road safety," announced the firm. The system is said to be capable of reconstructing a 3D real-time image of the vehicle's surroundings at a rate of 4.5 million pixels and 25 frames per second. "Compared with the previous generation, the resolution has been increased 12-fold, the range 3-fold, and the viewing angle 2.5-fold," Valeo added.

I plopped into the front seat, expecting to laugh in the face of the machine attempting to measure my age, gender, emotional state, and comfort level all through infrared cameras and other sensors. But sitting expectantly in the car, equipped with French automotive software company Valeo's Smart Cocoon 4.0 system, I was flabbergasted when it pinpointed my exact age. Getting that number right made me trust the car's biometric system more than I probably should have, even as tools that measure your heartbeat, track your eyes, head position, voice, and more enter vehicles everywhere. At CES this year, driver and passenger monitoring kept popping up. It's a preview of what will become commonplace in the driver's seat in the coming years.

We offer PhD position in the university environment while being partially supervised by the top-tier researcher from Valeo.AI research group.

In case of interest, please, send your application by email to the principal investigator Karel Zimmermann, zimmerk@fel.cvut.cz. The application should be a single PDF file including applicant CV and a short research statement.

The Government is to amend road traffic legislation to allow for the testing of self-driving vehicles on Irish roads. So what has the State got to give the autonomous driving world? It seems that Irish motorists' pain is the automotive industry's potential gain. Self-driving vehicles use a combination of video and radar to feed data to the self-driving programmes. Both the cameras and the radars have shown to work reasonably well on the dry and well-marked highways of certain US states such as California.

Revolutionary new virtual reality technology could let anyone ride along with you as a virtual passenger. Called Voyage XR, it's expected to have a range of applications, from training truck drivers to letting parents keep an eye on teen drivers while they're on the road. And it could even enable far-flung, elderly relatives to ride along with family members from any corner of the globe. Valeo debuted Voyage XR at the Consumer Electronics Show last week, which it claims'brings teleportation to life.' The Paris-based automotive supplier set up shop at CES with demos of Voyage XR, along with an eye-catching self-driving car test track across from the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Valeo will open a research center for artificial intelligence and'deep learning' with the aim of developing technologies that can be applied to autonomous vehicles.

Giant tech companies are fighting over the technology in court. Start-ups around the world are racing to develop new versions of it. And engineers say it is essential to making autonomous cars safe. The obscure object of desire: lidar. "We believe it will be the basis for autonomous driving," said Guillaume Devauchelle, who oversees innovation at Valeo, a major parts supplier to automakers.

For this self-driving car, the roadside hazards included traffic jams, undisciplined bystanders--and centuries-old cannons. That's what you get when you demonstrate your latest technology at the National Army Museum in central Paris, as French companies Safran and Valeo did on Friday. Safran, a defense contractor, and Valeo, an automotive parts manufacturer, kitted out a Volkswagen CC with radar, lidar and all-round cameras for their demonstration, and let it loose on a winding track around the museum grounds. They wanted to show how close the European automotive industry is to its goal of having self-driving cars for sale in 2020. There were no wheel-spins or clouds of dust: This was a simulated urban environment with traffic lights, slow-moving or stopped vehicles ahead, and speed limits of 20 km/h or less.
