Imagry moves to make buses autonomous without mapping
- Imagry has developed 'HD-mapless driving' software stack which helps autonomous vehicles in reacting to dynamic contexts and situations more accurately.
- The software eliminates the need for externally installed sensors and heavy-mapping.
- Imagry's AI Vision 360 and hardware-agnostic system allows buses for SAE Level 3/4 operations without mapping dependencies.
- Buses have been selected as a better fit for level 4 autonomy over passenger vehicles, as it can easily be integrated into specific routes and has simpler use cases in urban areas.
- The company has signed a 10-year contract with Continental for the development of a software-defined vehicle platform.
- Imagry in Turkey, France, Spain, and Japan is now retrofitting electric buses to be autonomous.
- Imagry uses 3D vision for perception and motion planning similar to what Tesla uses.
- Bus service request could be made through a button at the stop or on an app that also handles payment.
- The human supervisor handles the data collection to train the system along with Imagry's proprietary tool for annotation to train faster, better, and cheaper.
- The design cycle of the system is around 4 years, while integrating with a bus takes only 2-3 months and up-and-running within 18 months.
