Out of curiosity, is anyone aware whether it might serve some use to do tests like this virtually? Drive a car around to gather a mass of raw sensor readings on a busy street, and then feed those readings to test cars as inputs?
I guess that description doesn't make much sense, but it would be interesting to develop a virtual testing environment for testing the algorithm package even though that doesn't address hardware and numerous other concerns.
- castle-bravo 9y agoI think that's what NVIDIA tried to do with their BB8 test car [0]. I don't know what came of that. [0] https://youtu.be/LVBBKppAaV4 https://youtu.be/LVBBKppAaV4
- jaytaylor 9y agoThat's super cool! Looks like Nvidia has turned it into a self-driving car on chip, due for release later in 2018: https://www.engadget.com/2017/10/10/nvidia-introduces-a-computer-for-level-5-autonomous-cars/ https://www.engadget.com/2017/10/10/nvidia-introduces-a-comp...

- cmac2992 9y agoThey've drive 5 million real miles and billions of virtual miles.
- doublerebel 9y agoYes, multiple of these virtual testing environments, with sensor simulation/playback exist. See Microsoft's Airsim, or carla-simulator.
