China’s Didi removes 300,000 drivers amid safety overhaul
2018 was the year when Didi Chuxing, the ride-hailing company that defeated Uber in China, vowed to put safety ahead of rocket-ship growth after two deadly passenger incidents. One way it works to ramp up safety is a stricter vetting process for drivers. The mobility giant said Tuesday to a group of media that it… Continue reading China’s Didi removes 300,000 drivers amid safety overhaul

iDAR Sees Only What Matters
AEye’s iDAR™ (Intelligent Detection and Ranging) is the world’s most intelligent artificial perception system for autonomous vehicles.
Only iDAR brings intelligence to the sensor layer. By fusing 1550 nanometer, solid-state agile LiDAR with a low-light HD camera, CV algorithms, and embedded AI – at the sensor – iDAR filters out the most important aspects of a given scene. With iDAR, the vehicle’s perception system can target only the salient 5% of data it needs to safely navigate.
Watch how.
Fixed grid scan pattern with High Density Elevation coloring where blue indicates the highest elevation and red indicates the lowest.
Moving grid scan pattern with iDAR edge detection enabled, also with High Density Elevation coloring.
Moving grid scan pattern with iDAR edge detection enabled. The scene is colored by point type, where the “passive” points (part of the fixed background scan) are orange. The iDAR edge detection points – which pass only the scene’s relevant information to the perception system – are green. The computer vision edge detection algorithm analyzes the camera stream, which cues the LiDAR to optimally capture only the important aspects of the scene. Ensuring that iDAR never misses a thing!

iDAR enables self-driving cars to see only what matters.
