BROOKLYN, N.Y., Feb. 22, 2017 — Self-driving cars need onboard artificial intelligence (AI) technology able to link them to highly detailed maps that reflect every change in the status of lanes, hazards, obstacles, and speed-limits in real time. NYU Tandon researchers are developing an artificial intelligence system for autonomous vehicles that links them to HERE Live Map cloud-based mapping system. Courtesy of NYU Tandon. Researchers at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering are working hard to make this machine-to-machine interaction possible.
