Webinar: ADAS and Real-Time Vision Processing

Webinar: ADAS and Real-Time Vision Processing
by Daniel Nenni on 12-13-2017 at 7:00 am

ADAS is in many ways the epicenter of directions in the driverless car (or bus or truck). Short of actually running the car hands-free through a whole trip, ADAS has now advanced beyond mere warnings to providing some level of steering and braking control (in both cases for collision avoidance), providing more adaptive cruise control,… Read More
