Autonomous Driving Control
This application area focuses on systems that perceive the driving environment, make real‑time decisions, and control vehicles without human intervention. It spans lane keeping, obstacle avoidance, path planning, and multi‑agent traffic interaction for passenger cars, trucks, and logistics fleets. The goal is to replace or heavily reduce manual driving, improve safety, and enable higher utilization of vehicles in both passenger transport and freight. Advanced models integrate perception, prediction, and decision‑making into unified policies that can handle complex, long‑tail scenarios, continuously learn from new data, and coordinate over high‑bandwidth networks like 6G. Organizations apply deep learning, reinforcement learning, and large foundation models to reduce disengagements and accidents, adapt quickly to new environments, and lower the cost and time of engineering and validating driving behavior by hand.
The Problem
“Your autonomy stack can’t reliably handle edge cases without endless hand-coded logic and test miles”
Organizations face these key challenges:
Disengagements spike in rare scenarios (construction zones, unusual merges, emergency vehicles), forcing safety drivers to intervene
Rule-based planning explodes in complexity: every new city/ODD needs weeks of tuning and regression testing
Perception-prediction-planning handoffs create brittle behavior (e.g., hesitation, phantom braking, unsafe gaps) that’s hard to debug
