Stanford AI Camera Offers Faster, More Efficient Image Classification
The image recognition technology that underlies today’s autonomous cars and aerial drones depends on artificial intelligence: the computers essentially teach themselves to recognize objects like a dog, a pedestrian crossing the street or a stopped car. The problem is that the computers running the artificial intelligence algorithms are currently too large and slow for future…

nuScenes open-sources self-driving dataset with 1.4M images
Data is the key to developing reliable self-driving cars. But it’s about having the right data, not necessarily the most data. And nuTonomy, a Boston-based self-driving vehicle company recently purchased by Delphi for $450 million, believes it has the right data to allow researchers across the world to develop safe autonomous vehicles. nuTonomy released a self-driving dataset called…
