Artificial intelligence (AI) and road safety

It’s not driverless trucks or the android pilots that will set the world ablaze with innovation. It’s something far more intriguing and attainable – the power of AI safety and efficiency in everyday transportation is here.

As one of the leading causes of deaths in Australia, road safety is a critical issue. In recent years, distracted driving has become a major concern for fleet managers, who must ensure the safety of their drivers and the public. Fortunately, AI in telematics is making significant strides in improving road safety by addressing the issues of fatigue, distracted driving and predicting road incidents. In addition to distracted driving detection, technology in WHG’s FleetCAM offers a range of other features that contribute to overall road safety. These include live video streaming, driver behavior monitoring, and GPS tracking. By providing real-time visibility of their fleet, fleet managers can ensure that their drivers are following safe driving practices, such as obeying speed limits, using seatbelts, and avoiding harsh braking, plus being able to back your driver in the case of a road incident. AI has the power to also enhance utilistion, boost productivity and cultivate better on-road behavior.

With European regulators having decided that all new vehicles must have driver monitoring systems starting in 2024, the industry is gearing up to supply new products. However, consumers may not like the idea of driver-facing cameras recording their every move from inside the cabin, as there’s a strong possibility that data-obsessed automakers will utilize that information in unpalatable ways. That’s why Magna’s latest gizmo hides the camera lens behind the glass of your rear-view mirror.

Teased as a future product a couple of years ago, the camera is now ready for implementation. The unit is said to be a “fully integrated Driver Monitoring System” (DMS) that combines camera, electronics, and interior mirror technology in a package that’s said to be exceptionally easy to integrate into existing vehicles. Developed in collaboration with Seeing Machines, a technology company that specializes in AI-powered operator monitoring systems, the mirror is supposed to be pretty close to plug-and-play.

It’s effectively being marketed as a cheaper and easier solution than automakers trying to develop their own systems — and less invasive, as the camera that’s spying on you is hidden inside the rear-view mirror.

GM's bold move to scrap the Bolt EV may have just unveiled their ace up the sleeve: the Equinox EV, positioned to revolutionize the EV market!

The discontinuation of the Chevrolet Bolt EV was a major decision by General Motors (GM). However, despite the disappointment, the Bolt's death may ultimately be a blessing in disguise for GM's other EV models, especially the Equinox EV. With the Bolt gone, GM can now focus on promoting and developing the Equinox EV as its primary entry-level EV, positioning it to be a more viable alternative to other popular EVs like the Tesla Model Y and Ford Mustang Mach-E.

The Bolt EV, despite its popularity, was plagued by quality issues and recalls during its time on the market. In 2020, GM recalled approximately 68,000 Bolt EVs after five of the vehicles caught fire in 2017 and 2019 due to battery fire risks, asking owners to only charge the battery to 90-percent, charge more frequently, avoid depleting the battery below about 70 miles of the remaining range, and park their vehicles outside and away from structures. Similarly, In 2022, General Motors recalled 120,000 Chevy Bolt EVs in the US and 20,000 in Canada due to a risk of the carpet catching fire after a crash where the front seat belt’s pretensioner deployed. This recall affected model-year vehicles between 2017 and 2023 due to exhaust gases from the pretensioner igniting carpet fibers. Additionally, software glitches that could drain the battery too quickly or reduce the car's range raised concerns about the vehicle's reliability, despite the software updates.

Image of a Tired DriverWhen it comes to driving safety, being alert and focused on the road is of paramount importance. To help ensure driver and passenger safety, many car manufacturers, including Ford, have introduced driver alert monitors. These systems employ advanced sensors to detect signs of drowsiness and deterioration in driving performance, issuing timely warnings to promote driver awareness and prevent accidents. In this article, we explain the functionality of Ford's Driver Alert Monitor, how it operates, and why new car buyers need to choose vehicles equipped with this life-saving safety feature.

2. KEEPING OPERATORS SAFE AND ENGAGED

Poor visibility and fatigue can also contribute to jobsite incidents. Our technology-enabled safety solutions support enhanced operator attention and awareness while on the job.

Caterpillar has developed Cat Detect with Smart Camera to identify people in zones with poor visibility around machines and notify the operator with escalating visual and audible alerts. In addition, our Cat MineStarTM Driver Safety System, or Guardian 2, technology will nudge the operator back to attention with a vigorous seat vibration and audible alarm when a distraction or fatigue is detected.2

Some jobsites can be especially challenging, presenting workers with above-average safety risks. For these situations, Cat Command Remote Control allows operators to physically remove themselves from a machine’s cab and control that machine from a remote location.

There haven’t been major updates for several years already, and some significant changes, such as not using radar anymore, have even worsened things.

Autopilot technology is outdated. It still relies on old software and doesn’t take advantage of all the new neural network training that Tesla has been deploying for its FSD program.

The camera-based Autopilot system is falling behind the competition. Other brands can maintain speed on the highway and stay in their lanes with at least the same reliability as Tesla vehicles.

The system designed for highways and roads still lags in some situations and is not outstanding on its own.

Autopilot indeed offers an enhanced package where the car can change lanes and leave highway exits. However, the system is far from perfect, as it still relies on outdated software.

GM has recently announced an even more advanced version of its last year’s Super Cruise. The new hands-free driver-assist system is named Ultra Cruise and will be available only on future flagship vehicles of the GM brand. The earliest model to come up with this will be from Cadillac in 2023. The Ultra Cruise employs high-processing power and comes with Qualcomm’s 5-nm chips. The capabilities of the Ultra Cruise are far from any hands-free driver-assist system available in the market today.

GM in partnership with Qualcomm Technologies has come with an even more advanced version of the hands-free driver-assist system which GM calls Ultra Cruise. The architecture of the Ultra Cruise is based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Ride platform. What’s commendable about this platform is the use of a 5-nanometer two Snapdragon SA8540P SoC and one SA9000P artificial intelligence accelerator.

The two variants of the GMC Hummer EV – which include the Hummer EV Pickup and Hummer EV SUV – boast an entire suite of advanced technology and high-tech features, one of these being GM Super Cruise. Now, General Motors has released a new Customer Service Program that will update the semi-autonomous driver assistance feature for certain Hummer EV units.

GM Authority has learned that GMC dealers are to update the Super Cruise feature of select 2022 Hummer EV units, as its maps now have the potential to be out of date. According to the N232396990 Customer Satisfaction Program, dealers are to replace serial data gateway and automated driving mapping modules, as well as reprogram the image processing model.

It was terrific to conduct the 28th EAAP “Human Factors in Flight Safety” training course with my good friends and colleagues Alan Hobbs and Catarina Cunha in stunning seaside Sitges this past week, on behalf of EAAP - European Association for Aviation Psychology. We were privileged to attract an exceptional group of enthusiastic and hardworking participants ~ 19 dedicated aviation safety professionals from 10 countries from across Europe, the UK and Oman ~ including aircraft engineers, airline pilots, aircraft accident investigators, crew rostering and fatigue management specialists, air traffic control instructors, ground handling agents, maintenance team leaders, safety experts and aviation psychologists. It was an intense, dynamic, exhausting, but very rewarding week, and we also managed to fit in some great social activities, and perhaps a little fun! Sincere thanks are due to Vueling Safety Department Captains santiago oviedo and Manuel Ortega and to Vueling Airlines for their strong and consistent support in hosting our humble training course. Thanks are also also to the meeting staff at Hotel Calipolis Sitges, particularly Jose Antonio and Morgan, for their excellent support throughout the week. ¡Hasta la próxima!
