Companies across the globe are currently racing to create 3D maps, using sophisticated sensors and cameras to detail city streets and highways alike. However, Wayve’s new technique could render those 3D maps and their reading systems on AV (Autonomous Vehicles) obsolete. Most AV use many cameras and sensors to navigate 3D maps to navigate.
The Twizy in the video had only one camera mounted at its front (most other AVs have many more — Tesla’s autopilot, for example, uses eight). A human driver sat behind the wheel during the learning process, stopping the car every time it veered off the road. Within about 20 minutes of training, the car figured out how to follow the gently curving road indefinitely.
