Guyancourt, April 12th 2023. Nexyad was proud to ride with Dreamotor 1 in order to demonstrate high technology of partners and our AI SafetyNex for AWS. SafetyNex provides in real time prudent recommended speed,  lack of prudence alerts and instant prudent speed for predictive ACC and Autonomous Vehicle. Dreamotor 1 sponsors : partners :  

Guyancourt, March 29th 2023. 30 minutes test of Nexyad democar Dreamotor 1 which integrates AI SafetyNex for Renault with potential validation project. SafetyNex provides in real time prudent recommended speed,  lack of prudence alerts and instant prudent speed for predictive ACC and Autonomous Vehicle.   Dreamotor 1 sponsors :   partners :  

St Germain en Laye, Thursday March 23th 2023. Steve Cowper, director of rf.tracking, english company that provide IOT products, specialized in tracking solutions and crash detection for fleets. Thanks to Steve for passing by St Germain en Laye.  

Now DREAMOTOR1 is piloted by our AI SafetyNex for vehicle automatic speed control (longitudinal part of autonomous vehicle, that  is also called sometimes Predictive ACC or Contextual ACC). Vehicle slows down automatically to stay PRUDENT (that the only criteria) when needed and else accelerates to speed limit. No complex control laws, no cut into use cases: process is continuous and the only value to control is PRUDENCE level. First implementation under fine tuning at NEXYAD is what we call our MVP (Minimum Viable Product): no ADAS sensors, only digital map, electronic horizon, and GNSS. In the following months, we intend to integrate NEXYAD perception solution involving a camera (at least one) and a lidar. Perception will use NEXYAD perception AI software modules: . VisiNex that measures visibility and detects lacks of visibility such as fog, heavy rain, lack of lighting, snow, etc . RoadNex that detects drivable surface of the road plus lines . ObstaNex that detects any object and recognizes vehicles, and pedestrians (soon more objects) From this NEXYAD perception kit the 1st additional information that will feed the AI software module SafetyNex is interdistance, the second will be weather conditions, and the 3rd will be “presence of vulnarables”. V2X will also feed SafetyNex with hazard warnings. NEXYAD has shown that lateral control of vehicle is also possible by using the notion of PRUDENCE. This will be done in 2023. An Autonomous Vehicle on a new kind, based on PRUDENCE CONTROL, will then demonstrate that this new paradigm is lean (computing power, memory, …), efficient, in-used-monitored (with prudence assessed 20 times per second), and then finally TRUSTABLE (for people, for insurers, for authorities). A revolution that may enable market. Contact us to know more.

Guyancourt, February 16th 2023. Once again, we had a very good feedback from a RENAULT staff member testing our demonstration vehicle Dreamotor 1 around the Technocentre.       Dreamotor 1 sponsors : partners :

Guyancourt, February 10th 2023. We had the pleasure to showcase our road safety AI SafetyNex for COVEA in the streets of Guyancourt, with our DREAMOTOR1 demo car.           Dreamotor 1 sponsors : partners :  

Guyancourt, Tuesday February 7th 2023. Very good feedback from User eXperience team of Renault testing SafetyNex functionnalities in Dreamotor1. Dreamotor 1 sponsors : partners :  

DREAMOTOR1 IS NOW ROBOTIZED AND DEMONSTRATES THE LONGITUDINAL PART OF A PRUDENCE ASSESSMENT-BASED FULL AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE IN ALL TRAFIC CONDITIONS (CITY, ROAD, HIGHWAY): A GAME CHANGER IN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE POTENTIAL DEPLOYMENT   Dreamotor1 has been automated for longitudinal function, acceleration and brake can be controled by SafetyNex AI via computer. YoGoKo and SBG Systems Antennas are now permanently fixed on roof. More use-cases to come for demos, in particular with V2X info. We organize demos of 30mn in Guyancourt around Renault technocentre for automotive, fleets and insurance professionals.   DREAMOTOR1 can be piloted: . manually: showing pasting of prudent recommended speed (required by EUroNCAP and UN) . by SafetyNex directly: if PRUDENCE is too low then slow down, else, accelerate to speed limit (one line of code, no complex servo-control laws)   It is the 1st step of development of NEXYAD Autonomous Vehicle piloting system. We have already shown that in theory our completely new approach based on PRUDENCE assessment is also applicable to lateral control, we are currently working on it to upgrade DREAMOTOR1.   Today, the longitudinal control in all traffic conditions may be called Predictive ACC, according to STELLANTIS Vocabulary. We published a scientific paper explaining the revolution we bring in Autonomous Vehicle and ADAS, pasting some results of STELLANTIS Predictive ACC piloted by our PRUDENCE assessment AI SafetyNex : LINK TO SCIENTIFIC PAPER   Just to summarize, look at the following situation: . If we know what is behind the bus, and if there is nothing (*), it is possible to drive straight ahead, not slowing down, and still be PRUDENT (because nothing and no one may surround from behind the bus): Autonomous Vehicle Behavior #1 (*) e.g., cameras on the infrastructure + V2X, or Front Camera of the bus + V2X . If we do […]
