Technology Helps Self-Driving Cars Learn from Own 'Memories'
Researchers at Cornell University have developed a way to help autonomous vehicles create "memories" of previous experiences and use them in future navigation, especially during adverse weather conditions when the car cannot safely rely on its sensors.
Cars using artificial neural networks have no memory of the past and are in a constant state of seeing the world for the first time -- no matter how many times they've driven down a particular road before.
The researchers have produced three concurrent papers with the goal of overcoming this limitation. Two are being presented at the Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR 2022), being held June 19-24 in New Orleans.
