Apple researchers submitted a paper to the independent online journal\u00a0<em>arXiv<\/em>\u00a0on Nov. 17, and the topic relates to self-driving cars, reports\u00a0<em>Reuters<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In the paper, Yin Zhou and Oncel Tuzel propose a software program called &#8220;VoxelNet&#8221; to help computers detect three-dimensional objects. That&#8217;s relevant to autonomous cars because pedestrians, cyclists, and other potential obstacles tend to be three-dimensional.<\/p>\n<p>The software could potentially boost the effectiveness of sensors used in\u00a0self-driving cars\u00a0to identify obstacles. Most companies developing autonomous vehicles use a combination of cameras, radar, and lidar (which works like radar, but with light), to create a complete picture of the environment. Each type of sensor has its own weakness, which is why all three are needed.<\/p>\n<p>But the software described in the Apple researchers&#8217; paper has shown the ability to spot pedestrians and cyclists with lidar alone, at least in computer simulations. \u00a0The system hasn&#8217;t been tested on an actual car in the real world yet.<\/p>\n<p>Apple recently received approved to test self-driving cars on public roads in California, and its Lexus RX development mules\u00a0have been spotted a few times\u00a0over the past few months. But the company&#8217;s specific goals remain unclear.\u00a0CEO Tim Cook\u00a0has called autonomous driving the &#8220;mother of all AI projects,&#8221; but has hinted that Apple will develop autonomous-driving systems only, rather than complete cars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple is notoriously tight-lipped about\u00a0its self-drivin&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2895,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[196,169,197,198],"class_list":["post-2893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-apple","tag-autonomous-driving","tag-self-driving-car","tag-voxelnet","category-1","description-off"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
