The next James Bond movie is round the corner and there is every chance every four-wheeler will soon have at least one of the features of his iconic car that warns of possible collisions ahead with the help of sensors. An indigenous Artificial Intelligence (AI) based system developed jointly by multiple public and private agencies, including the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT-Hyderabad), is currently being pilot tested and will also be seen in Mahindra’s latest SUV.
iRASTE – Intelligent Solutions for Road Safety through Technology and Engineering project is a combined effort of the government, Applied AI Research Institute (INAI), Intel, IIIT-Hyderabad, CSIR-CRRI - Central Road Research Institute, Mahindra and Mahindra and the Nagpur Municipal Corporation.
“IIIT-H has been working with Intel in creating datasets for Indian driving conditions and this resulted in IDD or Indian Driving Dataset, helpful for researchers to develop their own algorithms. Setting up of INAI was like a natural progression to formalise the industry partnership and to find applications to sophisticated AI in everyday problems,” said INAI CEO Varma Konala in a post on the website.
