Brand ensures that with the new software, cars are safer and more prepared for any situation.
Artificial Intelligence (IA) came to help in many situations: the road prevention It is one of them and Volvo Cars wants to take car safety to a new level.
The brand now uses the Hyper-Real Virtual Scenarios to develop automotive safety software more quickly and effectively.
Volvo assures that, with the new software, cars get safer and prepared for any situation.
Swedes explain that they get synthesize real data collected by sensors of their cars – such as emergency brakes or sudden changes of direction – to analyze, rebuild and anticipate risk situations.
According to the statement sent to ZAP, the great revolution is in the use of the technique Gaussian splatting: an advanced computational approach that allows you to create Ultra -realistic 3D environments from real -world images.
Volvo explains that this novelty allows a Unlimited Test Spacewhere it is possible manipulate variables: Add or remove users from the road, change traffic behavior, or create unexpected obstacles.
Thus, this Volvo Cars security software can be trained and validated in days – instead of months – Allowing to simulate even the most extreme and rare scenarios, those who in the real world can make all the difference.
“We already have millions of data from moments that have never happened and we use to develop our software. Thanks to Gaussian Splatting, we can take one of these rare cases and replicate it in thousands of new scenario variations to train and validate our models. This has the potential to unlock a scale we have never had before and even identify extreme cases before they happen in the real world,” explains Alwin Bakkenes.
