dRISK emerges from stealth, presents breakthrough performance in retraining autonomous vehicles to detect high risk "edge cases" News provided by Share this article Share this article LONDON, April 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- dRISK, a London and Pasadena-based startup that has so far been in stealth, today announced its launch and that it has - for the first time commercially - employed its edge case retraining tool to achieve a 6x performance in time to detect high-risk events for autonomous vehicles (AVs). Whereas semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles currently do not always detect high-risk events in time to react to them (oncoming cars peeking into the lane from behind other vehicles, vehicles running red lights concealed by other cars), dRISK's tools for retraining AVs to recognize edge cases represent a dramatic step forward in the ability to retrain autonomous vehicles to well outperform humans at even the trickiest driving scenarios. The results were formally presented at NVIDIA's GTC conference on April 12, 2021.
