Not sure if this paper has been shared discussing Spiking Neural Networks for autonomous driving .
Brainchip is mentioned;
We look to be a shining star against the mentioned competitors

Abstract​

The rapid progress of autonomous driving (AD) has triggered a surge in demand for safer and more efficient autonomous vehicles, owing to the intricacy of modern urban environments. Traditional approaches to autonomous driving have heavily relied on conventional machine learning methodologies, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), for tasks such as perception, decision-making, and control. Presently, major companies such as Tesla, Waymo, Uber, and Volkswagen Group (VW) leverage neural networks for advanced perception and autonomous decision-making. However, concerns have been raised about the escalating computational requirements of training these neural models, primarily in terms of energy consumption and environmental impact. In the situation of optimisation and sustainability, Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), inspired by the temporal processing of the human brain, have come forth as a third-generation of neural networks, famed for their energy efficiency, potential for handling real-time driving scenarios and processing temporal information efficiently. However, SNNs have not yet achieved the performance levels of their predecessors in critical AD tasks, partly due to the intricate dynamics of neurons, their non-differentiable spike operations, and the lack of specialised benchmark workloads and datasets, among others. This paper examines the principles, models, learning rules, and recent advancements of SNNs in the AD domain. Neuromorphic hardware, hand in hand with SNNs, shows potential but has challenges in accessibility, cost, integration, and scalability. This examination aims to bridge gaps by providing a comprehensive understanding of SNNs in the AD field. It emphasises the role of SNNs in shaping the future of AD while considering optimisation and sustainability.

Wow @Tothemoon24!

This research paper is really ahead of it's time!

Obviously a quarterly publication.

Please don't anyone go mentioning to the usual suspects on the Crapper that Loihi is, as this paper re-confirms, "still in development" or they might blow a gasket.

Hopefully one of their 43 followers, is in need of our tech and has some weight behind them!

Every "little bit" of exposure helps, I guess..

47... she now has 47 followers

 

[DingoBorat]

47... she now has 47 followers

Yeah, so I guess that's you and 3 others off of here?

Unless "it's" you, how did you know they are a "she" ..

Thanks ILL,

I see INN, the company Meagan works for, has a specific tab at the top of its web page for Artificial Intelligence.

Maybe, as someone said recently, we will start getting traction soon, but the article is dated 5 days ago.

The thing that strikes me about the other 4 is that they could almost be described as one-trick-ponies. They have their niche, and they're very good at it.

I haven't really looked at Appen. We have some overlap with speech recognition and AI models (LLM), but I assume theirs are software.

BRN does have our algorithm product, but I doubt the company is looking to getting into mass market software at this stage. We need to focus our energies on our major EAPs such as Mercedes and Valeo.

Wow what a nice find!

This Dr Jerry Smith is clearly very knowledgeable on the subject, and I was having a hard time reading his paper, it's over my pay grade, but I understood enough to feel comfortable about my investment here.

He is highlighting us and Tenstorrent and also said their way of working could compliment each other, so not really direct competitors.

Seriously, what does RISC-V have to do with the Akida SoC architecture?

Certainly a partnership was announced with SiFive in April 2022, but that was more about a co-processor arrangement.

I think it's possible, that he's just confused and thinks AKIDA is RISC-V based?

There's not really any other explanation..

 

[itsol4605]

It’s an amazing phenomenon that large technology companies are some of the least innovative companies in the world. Technologies like the #BrainChip Akida and #Pico are revolutionary both in terms of capability and power consumption. But these technology behemoths are in a box and simply cannot think outside that prison. They are literally prisoners of their own success. #FANG #apple #google #stuckinthemud #mercedes #williamdemant #prisonerofsuccess Is BrainChip’s Akida & Pico simply the most undervalued products in the world today?
