- It’s a sophisticated computer science method.
- It leverages AI along with Nvidia's supercomputing platform.
- Data Collection: Volvo's research division, Zenseact, analyzes sensor data from new Volvos to synthesize unusual road incidents.
- 3D Visual Generation: The collected data points are transformed into high-fidelity 3D visuals that cameras cannot capture.
- Researchers have the ability to manipulate these visuals by adding or removing obstacles and vehicles.
- This flexibility allows them to simulate various driving scenarios and analyze different outcomes based on programmed driver assistance decisions.
Volvo isn’t alone in this endeavor; other manufacturers, like Porsche, are also using AI to enhance awareness of edge cases that drivers may rarely encounter.
Volvo is harnessing AI and advanced computational techniques to improve road safety by simulating and visualizing unique driving scenarios. This innovative approach allows for thorough testing of vehicle safety systems, better preparing cars for rare incidents on the road.
