The Intel subsidiary does not believe they need to use the “brute force” strategy of AI video-training that Tesla implements, but rather the “semantics of the road” can be discerned through more targeted means. Their current systems record video data, which it processes locally to understand the geometry of its environment, then sends those small packets of information back to Mobileye to help construct massive 3D maps. These maps provide detailed geometrical data as well as contextual, behavioral data in local regions of the city or street they were taken. … [Read more...] about Intel’s self-driving tech division Mobileye is picking up speed, set to become a true threat to Tesla

But these flashy contributions just highlight how far we still have to go before we have simple and effective protection for everyone. … [Read more...] about CES showed off the COVID-19 mask gimmick arms race
