For instance, weather such as rain or snow may cause an AV to detect itself in the wrong lane before a turn, or to stop too late at an intersection because of imprecise positioning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To overcome this problem, Almalioglu and his colleagues developed a novel, self-supervised <a href=\"https:\/\/techxplore.com\/tags\/deep+learning+model\/\" rel=\"tag\" class=\"\">deep learning model<\/a> for ego-motion estimation, a crucial component of an AV\u2019s driving system that estimates the car\u2019s moving position relative to objects observed from the car itself. The model brought together richly-detailed information from visual sensors (which can be disrupted by adverse conditions) with data from weather-immune sources (such as radar), so that the benefits of each can be used under different weather conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers at Oxford University\u2019s Department of Computer Science, in collaboration with colleagues from Bogazici University, Turkey, have developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI) system to enable autonomous vehicles (AVs) achieve safer and more reliable navigation capability, especially under adverse weather conditions and GPS-denied driving scenarios.
