How companies are using generative AI to make self-driving vehicles more safe

==========

Generative artificial intelligence is being used to improve the safety of self-driving vehicles. Waabi Innovation Inc., an autonomous vehicle company in Toronto, has developed an AI model called Copilot4D that can predict the behavior of surrounding vehicles and pedestrians more accurately than existing approaches. The model uses concepts from generative AI to convert visual data from light detection and ranging sensors into tokens, which are then used to predict future scenarios. Waabi is already using a more advanced version of the model on self-driving trucks in partnership with Uber Freight. However, there are still challenges to overcome, including reliability issues and the ability to accurately forecast human behavior. Other companies are also leveraging generative AI to communicate with industrial robots and improve their capabilities.
