Data Control Technitic Next Generation Sensor
Demands AI Upgrade
(1888 PressRelease) Data Control Technitic says
next generation LiDAR sensors to be upgraded with
new, more powerful AI processing unit. A new,
more powerful artificial intelligence (AI)
processor module will be part of an upgrade
planned for Hong Kong-based LiDAR innovator, Data
Control Technitics next generation LiDAR
automotive sensors. The new sensors, which are
still officially in final stage trials, are
provisionally scheduled to make their commercial
debut in the 1st quarter of 2019 suggesting that
the current AI module has sufficient power to
process the richer data stream from the sensors
much higher resolution. Data Control Technitic
sources its AI modules from a US manufacturer and
customizes the base systems to its own
specifications, a process which industry insiders
estimate can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months to
be green lit for use in dense urban traffic
conditions. Our new AI processor module will be
capable of handling hitherto unprecedented
amounts of information from the new hybrid
LiDAR/HD video sensors and it will feature an
object recognition upgrade that can gauge the
danger posed to the vehicle based on what an
object in its path is, explained Data Control
Technitics Chief Technology Officer. In
essence, the system will be able to tell the
difference between, say, a banana peel and a
broken bottle and instruct the vehicle to
maintain course or take evasive action as
necessary, he added. According to Data Control
Technitics CTO, the higher processing capacity
and the large number of operations to be
performed by the upgraded AI module will mean
that, for the first time, the companys system
will require additional cooling that will likely
need to be provided by the vehicle. https//www.d
