Ansible Motion has launched a new simulator to help car makers “better understand how drivers will cope with and respond to the rising number of driver assistance and autonomous automotive technologies”.

The latest iteration of Ansible Motion’s multi-million-pound Delta Driver-in-the-Loop simulator provides a safe and repeatable laboratory environment to test and validate the myriad advanced driver assistance systems that are increasingly being fitted, or proposed, to new cars.

With the driver assistance systems market set to grow to $70 billion by 2024, fuelled by vehicle manufacturers pushing toward increasing levels of autonomy to address emerging legislation, the issue of how real people might react to a car receiving more notifications – or even taking control – is one that car makers are investigating seriously.  [Read more…] about New Ansible Motion simulator ‘helps car makers understand how human drivers will interact with autonomous cars’

NXP to support Open Neural Network Exchange format 

December 18, 2018 by Anna

NXP Semiconductors is to support  the Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) format within its edge intelligence environment (eIQ).

NXP’s eIQ is a comprehensive machine learning (ML) toolkit that helps original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) balance performance needs and system cost when deploying neural networks and their associated inference engines at the edge.

ONNX is an open standard for representing deep learning models that enables trained models to be transferred between existing Artificial Intelligent (AI) frameworks.
