We want to connect self-driving vehicles engineers and specialists,
bring together people of diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise
to empower everyone to share their knowledge.
Lets make self-driving cars a reality together!
What is the difference between – Model Predictive Control, Generalized Predictive Control and Long Range Predictive Control?
Generalized predictive control (GPC) is a member of the MPC family of methods, where the mathematical model of the system is a “controlled auto-regressive and integrated moving-average” (CARIMA) model. Long range predictive control (LRPC) seems (although I might be wrong since I am seeing this nameRead more
Generalized predictive control (GPC) is a member of the MPC family of methods, where the mathematical model of the system is a “controlled auto-regressive and integrated moving-average” (CARIMA) model.
Long range predictive control (LRPC) seems (although I might be wrong since I am seeing this name for the first time) to be used interchangeably with MPC (especially around 1990–2000).
Model predictive control (MPC) is a family of control methods based on real-time repeated optimal control. These methods are intended for solving multivariable, constrained, infinite horizon, and possibly nonlinear, optimal control problems approximately via finite horizon solutions implemented in receding horizon fashion. These finite horizon solutions involve optimizing the objective function for the (finite) prediction horizon, where the predictions are based on a mathematical model of the dynamical system to be controlled.
There are many variants of MPC (there may be more):
See less> model algorithmic control: MPC using an impulse-response model
> dynamic matrix control: MPC using a step-response model
> generalized predictive control: MPC using a CARIMA model
> hybrid MPC: MPC using a hybrid system model (i.e., with binary state variables and/or control inputs in addition to continuous ones)
> with uncertainty treatment: robust MPC, stochastic MPC
> with real-time system identification: adaptive MPC (model is updated online)
> with parametric optimization: explicit MPC (control law is computed offline and implemented as a look-up table)
What are the main challenges , problems to be solved in computer vision field?
Currently the most important challenge faced by autonomous car in computer vision is how to run most of the algorithm in real time and that too in complex and cluttered environment. Making a vision model which can achieve high accuracy in no more a problem today because of deep learning but making iRead more
Currently the most important challenge faced by autonomous car in computer vision is how to run most of the algorithm in real time and that too in complex and cluttered environment. Making a vision model which can achieve high accuracy in no more a problem today because of deep learning but making it work in real time that too in more complex environments like in Indian roads is.
See lessToday computer vision algorithms for autonomous vehicles are getting a direct competition from LiDAR because LiDAR can solve most of the problems which is much complex for vision algorithms and at at same time can also help vehicles with mapping and localizing.
Vision fails in SLAM thus which is why its usage in autonomous vehicle is now limited for lane marking and generation and to make low cost ADAS systems.
If AI is so important in training self-driving cars to drive, why aren’t car manufacturers paying us to put cameras on cars?
Terabytes of videos are not helpful without the sensor and control data that describes where the car was and what it intended to do at he exact moment The driverless cars are rolling computers and sensor suites hoovering up data during their trials.

Can autononous cars developers program their cars to drive like the locals?
Well, driving like a local usually means doing some illegal driving maneuvers which used to be a cause of accidents Developers have to and will program cars to drive accordingly to the traffic rules Locals ignore many rules but they will have to get used to driverless cars that drive correctly

Have driverles vehicles ever been tested at high speeds?
HI, yes, there are several great examples, one of them is Roborace Roborace is the world’s first competition for human + machine teams, using both self-driving and manually-controlled cars, and they set the Guinness World Record for Fastest Autonomous Car https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuzaabZLVSo

Whats your opinion, should we use artificial intelligence to determine how self-driving cars behave in accidents?
AI has many sorts of issues at the moment, moreover its very hard to train AI to act in accidents better than humans (at the moment). And Its a very complicated task to simulate all the possible situations on the road and their outcomes to train the AI properly. I think autonomous cars should avoidRead more

How will self-driving cars navigate in underground garages and other places that haven’t been mapped yet?
The answer: simultaneous localization and mapping, or SLAM. Using SLAM a robot (self-driving car) will use simultaneous localization and mapping to estimate its position and orientation (or pose) in space while creating a map of its environment. This allows the robot to identify where it is and howRead more
The answer: simultaneous localization and mapping, or SLAM.
Using SLAM a robot (self-driving car) will use simultaneous localization and mapping to estimate its position and orientation (or pose) in space while creating a map of its environment. This allows the robot to identify where it is and how to move through some unknown space.
