AUTONOMOUSREVOLUTION
What is Driving the Autonomous Revolution?
The concept of self-driving, autonomous vehicles has been in the public discourse for years. The reality of autonomous transportation is, however, now appearing in the consumer’s world and, over the next decade, pivotal advances will accelerate the transition to fully autonomous transportation.
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) rely on artificial intelligence to operate with varying degrees of human input. By computing billions of data points each second from an array of sensors, cameras, and radar systems, AVs can effectively ‘see’ the road and respond to changing conditions or navigate obstacles.
There are various levels of AVs on the road today. As seen below, automation can range from driver assistance, all the way to full automation which requires no human interaction. This course will focus on level 3 and 4 automation.
Level 1 (Driver Assistance): The driver controls most driving functions, but under certain conditions, the vehicle may be able to adjust cruise control speed or stay in a lane.
Level 2 (Partial Automation): The car can both accelerate/decelerate and perform basic steering functions. Driver is still responsible for directing navigation like exiting a highway, changing lanes, or turning on a new street.
Level 3 (Conditional Automation): The car can monitor the driving environment and accelerate, turn, or brake, but still expects human intervention when alerted.
Level 4 (High Automation): The car can control all driving aspects and operate without intervention from a human, but only under certain conditions.
Level 5 (Full Automation): The car is fully autonomous and requires no human input to operate in all driving conditions.
Why Should I Learn About Vehicle Automation?
There is no denying the autonomous revolution is rapidly accelerating. OEM’s, Tier 1, and Tier 2 manufactures are increasing their rate of production on autonomous fleets, while the largest constraint is the complexity to integrate these technologies in a safe and trustworthy manner. The transportation industry is in desperate need of engineers with the knowledge to safely integrate autonomous subsystems into a vehicle, and the practical hands on experience of overcoming these technological complexities.
WHAT WILL I LEARN IN THE COURSE?
WEEK 1
WEEK 2
WEEK 3 & 4 WEEK 5 WEEK 6
You will learn to apply Perception technologies including Computer Vision, LiDAR, Radar, and So-nar into an integrated vehicle platform through a series of hands-on learning modules, designed to work up to a level 3/4 autonomous vehicle.
You will also learn Localization technologies such as GPU/IMS. All technology integration will ad-here to the ISO 26262 standard for vehicle Functional Safety.
Overview of autonomous technologies in the context of creating a Statement of Work in a real-world engineering environment based on customer requirements. Students will be introduced to all Functional Safety ISO 26262 Standards as well as Perception, Localization, and Control technologies.
Understand the basics of systems architecture; including SAE J1939, Nvidia Nano, ROS, Python, and IoT/Telematics.
Build the platform on technology benches using Camera Vision,
LiDAR, Sonar, Radar, and GPU/IMS.
Integrate all technologies into an autonomous vehicle with the hands
on understanding of Perception, Path Planning, Action Prediction,
and Obstacle Avoidance.
NFPA70E High Voltage Certification, vehicle
demonstration, and graduation.
Throughout the entire 6-week course, students will be applying Six Sigma principles to earn a Yellow Belt certification. Additionally, students will
build soft-skills through a series of professional development instruction delivered throughout the 6-week course.
