Our Automated Valet Parking will offer drivers a completely automated driverless parking experience. Together with Valeo, using smart technology for smarter mobility.

When left at the designated drop-off zone, the vehicle takes over and will manoeuvre itself to find a parking spot without the need of a driver. It will then drive itself back to the drop-off zone when the owner requests it.

Our next focus is on next-generation high-end parking user experience for customers on private grounds and parking facilities.

VALEO AND BMW TOGETHER ON PARKING SOLUTIONS
February 14, 2023 Emil Peters 42 views
Following the strategic partnership on ADAS entered into by BMW and Valeo in mid-2022, both parties signed a partnership in January 2023 focused on the development of automated parking solutions.

There is a possibility that other car manufacturers will join this platform.

It is a form of Level 4 autonomous driving, without driver supervision. At a drop-off zone, the driver exits the car and the vehicle takes on tasks such as autonomously finding a parking space, making the necessary maneuvers to get in and out of a parking space, and can also drive back to a pick-up zone to return the vehicle to the driver. In order to make optimal use of the parking time, additional services such as fully automatic loading or fully automatic washing can be used.

Two types
The automated parking solutions are divided into two main categories, Type 1 and Type 2 systems. A Type 1 system has the necessary technologies running on the vehicle, while a Type 2 system has the necessary technologies installed in the appropriate infrastructure, such as a parking garage, and the vehicle is controlled by the infrastructure.

Valeo patent application:

WO2023280574A1 METHOD FOR OPERATING A PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

A method for operating a parking assistance system (100) is proposed. The parking assistance system (100) comprises a number (102) of sensors (102A – 102F) which are arranged in a predetermined region (110) and are each configured to detect a vehicle (200) present in the predetermined region (110) and to output a respective sensor signal. The method comprises the steps of: a) detecting (S1) a number of specific features (201 - 203) of the vehicle (200), b) determining (S2) a specific vehicle model (MSPEC) for the vehicle (200) on the basis of the detected specific features (201 - 203), c) receiving (S3) a sensor signal from at least one sensor (102A – 102F) of the number (102), d) determining (S4) a pose (POS) of the vehicle (200) on the basis of the received sensor signal using the determined specific vehicle model (MSPEC), and e) controlling (S5) the vehicle (200) on the basis of the determined pose (POS).

After training, the detector is set up to determine the pose of the vehicle on the basis of the sensor signals.
The detector is designed in particular as an artificial intelligence, such as a neural network, in particular a CNN (convolutional neural network).

[0043]​

In particular, the detector is already pre-trained on the basis of general characteristics that vehicles typically have. This means that the detector already includes a general vehicle model, for example, and that it can be suitable for determining the pose of a vehicle even before training with the specific features. However a confidence of the determined pose of the detector is significantly lower before this training than afterwards.

[0044]​

The structure of a neural network is shown, for example, as follows.
The neural network can be divided into three layers or sections, an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer. Each of the layers includes a plurality of individual neurons, it also being possible for different layers to have a different number of neurons. The amount of neurons in the input layer depends, for example, on the amount and the format of the data to be processed by the neural network, which can also be referred to as the dimensionality of the data. For example, the amount of neurons in the output layer depends on the dimensionality of the output vector.

[0045]​

The input layer forms the input of the neural network, to which the input vector is fed. The neurons of the input layer accept the information contained in the input vector and pass it on to the neurons of the first hidden layer in a weighted form. The neurons of the first hidden layer receive the weighted signals from the input layer and pass them on to the following hidden layer in a weighted form. The signals are passed through the neural network from layer to layer in this way until the output layer is reached. The output vector is tapped off at the neurons of the output layer. The amount of hidden layers is basically unlimited, however the computing power required to operate the neural network scales with the amount of hidden layers. The more layers a neural network includes, the more complex tasks the neural network can solve, but the training effort, i.e. the size of the training data set, increases accordingly. It is therefore advantageous to use only as many hidden layers as are necessary for the task at hand.

[0046] ​

In addition to the training data used, the topology of the neural network has a major influence on how well a respective neural network is able to solve a particular problem. A suitable topology depends on the available sensors and/or the type of input data. A suitable topology can be determined for specific sensors, for example by trying out a number of different topologies. By using the specific features as training data, the neural network is optimally adapted to determine the pose of the respective vehicle. The pre-trained neural network can be stored like a computer program and serves as a template for the specific neural network. In particular, the training of the neural network with the specific features takes place without a great expenditure of time, since the training data is limited. One can also say that a fine-tuning of the pre-trained neural network is carried out.

According to a second aspect, a computer program product is proposed which comprises instructions which, when the program is executed by a computer, cause the latter to execute the method according to
a method for operating a parking assistance including a number of sensors arranged in a predetermined area, which are each set up to detect a vehicle present in the predetermined area and to output a respective sensor signal, comprising the steps of:
a) detecting a number of specific features of the vehicle,
b) determining a specific vehicle model for the vehicle based on the detected specific features,
c) receiving a sensor signal from at least one sensor,
d) determining a pose of the vehicle depending on the received sensor signal using the determined specific vehicle model, and
e) controlling the vehicle depending on the determined pose.


Parking assistance system (100) with a number (102) of sensors (102A - 102F) arranged in a predetermined area (110) for detecting a vehicle (200) present in the predetermined area (110) and for outputting a respective sensor signal, and with :
a detection unit (122) for detecting a number of specific features (201 - 203) of the vehicle (200),
a determination unit (124) for determining a specific vehicle model (MSPEC) for the vehicle (200) on the basis of the specific features (201 - 203),
a receiving unit (126) for receiving a sensor signal from at least one sensor (102A - 102F) of the number (102), the determination unit (124) for determining a pose (POS) of the vehicle (200) depending on the received sensor signal using the determined specific vehicle model (MSPEC) is set up, and
a control unit (128) for controlling the vehicle (200) depending on the determined posed pose (POS).

Akida could perform the function of the detection unit and determination unit.

The millions of shorts are the problem. Not a few on here having a whinge about the share price and lack of sales!

I noticed the shorts have increased to 7% in a short period of time, wouldn’t be surprised if we are over 8% now. Hoping the shorts can get it to 10% for me under my circumstances. But they are wankers.

 

[Sirod69]

Now I really have to see if the course(=share price) is already in the basement?

Not sure why a lot of people blame the shorts for where the price is surely most rational people think other factors are involved?
@Sirod69 you mean curse?

And what's with all this UFO bullshit going on around the world. We getting invaded by aliens
