[Music] so much emerging technology is just a show so one can be forgiven for not being able to distinguish fact from fiction take this car for example can it drive autonomously or not the short answer is absolutely that was scha shrivastava senior product lead for driving behavior here at weo what you're looking at is the whmo driver in action adapted for a variety of vehicle platforms it is the most advanced fully autonomous driving technology in the world today what you notice pretty quickly is that these aren't normal vehicles take this Jaguar ipas for example it's
been equipped with an elegant array of sensors and software which allows it to move through the city on its own that's correct the whmo driver is a combination of custom design design hardware and software that is responsible for performing the entire Act of driving that was James filbin he's an engineering lead on the perception team at whmo I asked him to break down the technology for us a bit more the weo driver handles the task of driving in three basic steps sense solve and go it's the way we describe the highly complex process of acquiring
information processing it and moving through the world safely so what goes into all that sensing the sensors that the wayo driver uses are incredibly powerful using a combination of liar cameras and radar it can see up to three football fields in any direction and can detect Sirens from emergency vehicles which allows the whmo driver to visualize the world around it in milliseconds to a high degree of accuracy okay sense makes sense but what do you do with all that data good question the system calculates the predicted future behavior for each relevant agent in the scene
then with a strong Foundation derived from artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms the Veo driver crunches all that data and calculates a safe route while responding in real time to the evolving traffic environment if I understand correctly this means the wayo driver continues to learn as it goes is trained and tested on scenarios that it's never seen before and can differentiate safe and comfortable driving behaviors from hazardous and uncomfortable ones yes well done why thank you the final step in the sense solve go methodology is perhaps the most straightforward go once the wayo driver has
determined the path to take our Advanced motion control systems allow for smooth acceleration and braking on H streets or managing bumper to- bumper traffic with safe and natural driving movements so it's really here right now in cities not smoke and mirrors but true autonomous driving [Music] technology weo is taking what was once futuristic sci-fi and making it non-fiction and like all gray technology all that number crunching all that data just Fades into the background and you realize the dream of riding in a fully autonomous vehicle to your favorite dinner spot isn't just a vision of
the future it's actually happening right now
