AI research combats problem of vanishing cyclists and pedestrians
One particularly vexing problem for autonomous driving systems is how to deal with situations where sensors lose sight of other road users. For example, a cyclist dropping out of view behind a car or other obstruction.
Now, researchers at Örebro University in Sweden say they have developed an AI application that can account for such occurrences. “We have succeeded in developing a new way for self-driving vehicles to understand and explain the dynamics of our world just like people do,” said Mehul Bhatt, professor of computer science at the university.
