Do you want to learn how AI is revolutionising autonomous driving and ADAS?

Join us for an exciting technical talk by Ganesh Sistu, an eminent AI expert from Valeo Ireland and the University of Limerick.

This virtual event is proudly co-hosted by the IEEE UK & Ireland Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (ITSS) Chapter and the IEEE UK & Ireland Sensors Council Chapter.

Title & Abstract:
Smarter Streets: How AI is Driving the Future of Autonomy and ADAS
AI has revolutionized autonomous driving and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). From core applications like driving and parking to advanced comfort and safety features, AI is making vehicles smarter and more adaptive to user needs. In this talk, I will explain recent trends in AI-driven autonomy, covering critical topics such as bird’s eye view perception, early sensor fusion, and self-supervised learning—key components in improving perception and decision-making in autonomous systems. We’ll also delve into how cutting-edge technologies like Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs), Gaussian Splatting, and foundation models are not only transforming visualization and digital twins but also playing a crucial role in enhancing autonomy itself.
