Helm.ai

Helm.ai is an automotive software company that is building and productizing cutting edge artificial intelligence technology which unlocks the full market potential for fully autonomous driving. Our primary focus is on developing flexible deep learning based automotive-grade software solutions throughout the entire self-driving stack, including computer vision and sensor fusion based perception, intent modeling, path planning, and control, all with the levels of reliability required for large-scale full autonomy.

2nd Place

NVIDIA DRIVE Constellation

Simulation has shown to be fundamental for deploying safe AVs and provides a platform to test self-driving technology before cars hit the road. NVIDIA DRIVE Constellation enables the creation of unique virtual AV test fleets in the cloud. It is an open, scalable, bit accurate, real-time, hardware-in-the-loop solution that will enable the industry to develop AVs that can then be rigorously tested without putting other road users in harm’s way. This allows for greater efficiency, cost-effectiveness and safety than what is possible to achieve with real world test drives.

WINNER

iDAR Artificial Perception platform

• fuses solid-state agile LiDAR with a low-light HD camera, then integrates artificial intelligence, to create a smart sensor that is fully software extensible
• was designed from the ground up to mimic the way a human’s visual cortex focuses on and evaluates potential driving hazards. Using a distributed architecture and edge processing.
• dynamically tracks targets and objects of interest, while always critically assessing general surroundings. Its software-configurable hardware enables vehicle control system software to selectively customize data collection in real-time, while edge processing reduces control loop latency.
• is able to capture more intelligent information with less data, for optimal performance and safety by combining software extensibility, artificial intelligence and smart, agile sensors.

2nd Place

Foretify Technology

By offering our clients a choice between launching a single mobility service or managing all services simultaneously, Fleetonomy is eliminating the need to juggle between different services divided by different fleets and enabling focus on efficiency and automation. The utilization-focused approach that fleetonomy provides can now prepare the company’s clients for the future of autonomous vehicles as well as create new revenue streams for mobility operators in the present.

3rd Place

AUTERA AutoBox

• allows you to stimulate sensor behavior in the lab environment as it would be in real world. Objects can be simulated at different velocities, distances and angles, while taking into account sensor properties such as antenna characteristics, sensitivity, resolution, separability and linearity.
• is designed with sophisticated RF circuit technology to enable developers of ADAS and autonomous driving systems to test radar sensors in the laboratory with the utmost precision that is required.
• was designed to test high-frequency systems operating in the GHz range (such as safety-critical applications). These systems can simulate moving targets across a continuous range, from small distances (0.6 m) up to large distances (up to 3600 m).
• features the smallest RF-front end antenna in the world, making these systems ideal for dynamic angle simulations and unlimited possibilities for test setups.
