By harnessing the power of machine learning, Intel Habana Gaudi processors, and AWS, Concept Reply created an advanced AI-based solution that allows autonomous vehicles to accurately detect traffic lights, improving road safety in urban areas.
The traffic light detection solution offers a practical and effective approach to improving autonomous vehicle navigation and was developed in partnership with Intel. Intel is a leading force in the industry, driving innovation in hardware, software, and service technology. With a focus on integrating intelligence and AI into every computing device, from the cloud to the edge, they're harnessing the power of data.
The solution optimizes Intel processors for machine learning training, by introducing an innovative method that surpasses GPUs in terms of efficiency. It integrates the Habana Gaudi AI accelerator to offer effective and profitable AI training. Advanced machine learning features are implemented using YOLOX for object detection and PyTorch for deep learning. Leveraging AWS hosting, it ensures scalability. This synergy facilitates the accurate detection of traffic lights in real time, which is essential for the safety and navigation of autonomous vehicles in dynamic urban traffic conditions.
To refine autonomous driving models, we rely on CARLA, an open source simulation environment. CARLA not only facilitates rigorous model testing, but also accumulates valuable data to further improve models. CARLA offers us numerous advantages, allowing us to test and refine our autonomous driving models while collecting essential data to refine them. CARLA simulates complex automotive sensors, including GPS, LIDAR, and accelerometers. In addition, it offers tailor-made driving scenarios, allowing simulations that replicate challenges such as driving at night or various weather conditions. This innovative approach allows us to refine our algorithms and improve the accuracy of traffic light detection.
Ensuring the reliability and accuracy of CARLA involves extensive training in machine learning. Faced with a shortage of GPUs, Reply turned to Intel for an innovative solution. Intel, a leader in hardware and AI, collaborated with Reply to create a powerful and scalable platform optimized for cloud instances. This solution adapts dynamically to different vehicle numbers, giving priority to resource efficiency and sustainable computing.
