NEXYAD DEMO CAR DREAMOTOR1 SHOWCASED AT RENAULT,
WITH OUR PARTNER HERE TECHNOLOGIES

 

We could showcase DREAMOTOR1 yesterday at RENAULT with NEXYAD of course, and our partner HERE Technologies.
Functions showcased:
. Safety score,
. Safety CoachThere will be many showcases of DREAMOTOR1 in France and in Europe during 2022.We have integrated technologies from NEXYAD, INTEMPORA, ECOTECHNILIN, and we wrote all the global and detailed specifications for integration of technologies from SBG Systems, YOGOKO, IMPORTANT.

We are discussing with GREENERWAVE to fancy the best way to integrate their technology. DREAMOTOR1 is already the smarter demo car and will remain it in time.
On the picture at RENAULT Guyancourt, I am with Olivier Beldi from HERE Technologies. HERE Technologies believed in NEXYAD from the very start, And we showcase together at RENAULT (that have signed with GOOGLE), and in a way, we « bring » HERE with us, and they help us being better. Small teams may bring strategic advantages … We’re happy about this.

Now that we have DREAMOTOR1, our unique embedded cognitive AI technology SafetyNex, which is second to none, can be showcased for 3 functions:
. Safety Score: much more accurate and relevant than TESLA one. Think again ! it is not everyday that you have the opportinuty to take over TESLA !
. Safety Coach that advices driver during trip and helps to avoid most emergency situations (and then many accidents)
. Preventive ACC / AD (soon available on DREAMOTOR1) that controls vehicle speed in order to keep driving behavior cautious regarding static and dynamic contexts

Nobody stops Dreamotor 1.

NEXYAD’S CES 2022

 January 2022 CES returned to Las Vegas, Nevada. And Nexyad Too. This year saw the opening of the brand new East Pavillon at Convention Center which welcome Automotive section of the CES. The building is huge like usual with several food stands and other commodities. Of course, some space seemed empty because all the cancellations, but in france we say: absentees are always wrong. And two weeks after the show, there is no news about CES Covid cluster.
Nexyad already gives « rendez-vous » for 2023 edition with, we hope, a democar or two. We will drive in the streets of Las Vegas to demonstrate our cognitive AI technology SafetyNex: the best safety score/coach on the market for the best driving experience ever, safe and serene.
And now, an overview of our CES.

 

Big automakers were missing except Stellantis, the 14 brands group displayed numerous cars in the center of East pavillon.

 

Stellantis is the sixth-largest automaker worldwide. Beside big SUVs and Sedans, we noticed the AMI Citröen a micro electric car that allow to drive urban and countryside roads without licence and Fiat 500 with its funny face which seems to laught.  Stellantis Group owns: Abarth – Alfa Romeo – Chrysler – Citroen – Dodge – DS Automobiles – Fiat – Fiat Professional – Jeep – Lancia – Maserati – Opel – Peugeot – Ram – Vauxhall

 

 

Henrik Fisker has presented himself the zero emission SUV Ocean at CES in Las vegas. The Fisker Ocean features the SolarSky, a large solar roof. Thus, the sun’s rays are collected and generate energy which powers the vehicle’s electric motor. The cabin features premium upholstery, floor mats and details made from recycled plastic bottles, reclaimed rubber scrap, used t-shirts and discarded fishing nets from the ocean. See the video of presentation at CES : (15) Facebook Live | Facebook

 

 

 

VinFast is a new OEM that comes to us from Vietnam. Coming from Vingroup in Hanoi, the brand did not hesitate to hire experienced executives from, for example, GM, Pininfarina, and build partnerships with BMW, Magna Steyr, Siemens or Bosch. They has presented three new models at CES, but they cover all segments from A to E. The electric SUV brand will soon be marketed in Europe and North America. See the video of EV Day Event: VinFast Global EV Day Event – YouTube

 

 

From the left our friend John Cooper, Phil Magney VSI CEO, Gérard and Matthew Linder

VSI Labs drove from Minneapolis Minnesota to Las Vegas (more than 1650 miles !) with their technological jewels. These two labcars are just amazing, they embark the best of hardware, software and connectivity systems for research and demonstration purposes in the fields of Road safety, ADAS and Autonomous Driving. VSI organizes tours across the United States on the occasion of major events such as ADAS & Autonomous Technology Expo at San Jose (Ca) next march.

 


Nexyad is still very interested by computer vision technologies. We Found some companies that provides smart dashcams like Movon or Nextbase ou Stonkam from Hong Kong, which offers a whole range of artificial vision products such as this rear-view camera system with image reproduction on interior screens.

 


At last, this curiosity with the autonomous Indy racing cars. We see there a specimen of these single-seater or no-seater with electronics and artificial intelligence in place of the human pilot. The CES organized a competition, the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC), on the Las Vegas racetrack with its cars that can reach speeds of 175 mph.

We are glad to announce two sponsors for DREAMOTOR 1 !

 

                             

We will show their logo, colors, and will relay their messages through our participation to events all over Europe in 2022.

The commitment of those 2 majors industrial of the automotive sector show how important our demo car project is.

 

Presentation of Nextcar and Dreamotor 1 to french media

The second of december at ESIGELEC in Saint Etienne du Rouvray, the french Automotive & Mobility Cluster NEXTMOVE has organized the presentation of the two demo cars involved with Demo ICIM project : NextCar by Nextmove and Dreamotor1 by Nexyad.

New article from Auto News by Laurent Meillaud (in french)

 

NEXYAD, UN AS DE L’IA QUI FAIT MIEUX QUE TESLA ?

La PME française a mis au point un outil qui permet de calculer les risques en fonction du profil de la route, de l’environnement et de la vitesse. Ce système combine l’intelligence artificielle, des capteurs et des cartes de haute précision.

Lors du récent congrès sur les transports intelligents (ITS) de Hambourg, on a pu voir tourner dans les rues de la ville une Renault ZOE baptisée « Dreamotor 1 ». Et elle serait, selon ses concepteurs, l’un des plus sûres au monde. Pourquoi ? Parce qu’elle intègre un système d’intelligence artificielle très évolué, fruit de 20 ans de recherche au sein de la PME Nexyad, et qui a fait ses preuves*. Ce système a pour nom SafetyNex et mesure 20 fois par seconde le niveau de risque en fonction du contexte routier (vitesse, analyse de l’environnement, type de route). Cet outil assez unique s’appuie sur les cartes pour GPS de haute précision de HERE Technologies, dans le cadre d’un partenariat. La ZOE intègre une fonction « safety coach » qui s’appuie sur des données en temps réel pour recommander au conducteur à quelle vitesse maximale il peut rouler. Précisons que ce coach peut aussi agir en cas d’urgence sur le régulateur de vitesse intelligent (ACC), s’il estime que le niveau de danger est trop élevé et en cas de non-réaction. Le système d’IA de Nexyad bénéficie à bord de ce prototype de l’apport d’autres technologies pour calculer encore plus précisément en temps réel le risque routier.

French Automovive Sector day « PFA » In Paris

 

The 26th of october 2021 took place at la Cité des Sciences et de l’industrie in Paris, the day of the French Automotive Sector (PFA). Many officials, president of PFA, Luc Chatel, Industry miniter Bruno Lemaire, and automotive executives as Luca De Meo CEOof Renault Group were present.
Nexyad participated and showed outside its demo car Dreamotor 1 (below).
 

 

DEMO ICIM (above) is a demo car of the French Automotive & Mobility cluster NEXTMOVE that integrates technologies of member SMEs including NEXYAD Cognitive AI SafetyNex. This demo car Demo ICIM is a « sister » of DREAMOTOR 1. NEXYAD and NEXTMOVE have a signed partnership to promote the two cars together and show the excellence in clean and intelligent vehicles.

 

Nexyad has launched the cooperative demo car DREAMOTOR 1 at ITS World 2021 in Hamburg

 

Our DREAMOTOR 1 car was not already available. What we call DREAMOTOR 1 V0 is a RENAULT ZOE that we’ve been renting in Hamburg. In this ZOE we installed a PC + sensors etc. and could showcase 3 automotive functions :

. Safety score : at the end of every trip, we give statistics of caution : driving behavior is described with caution profile, risk (= lack of caution) profile, and global scores such as driving caution score, anticipation ability score, driving skills score, and observed self-confidence score.
. Safety coach : during driving, caution and risk are estimatied onboard in real time (20 times per second), and then are used to give advices to driver in order to avoid incautious behaviors. It has been validated that this system reduces accident rate by at least 25%.
. Anticipative ACC and AD : in real time, knowing context, the same system can estimate 20 times per second what should be the good behavior in order not to exceed a max accepted risk (= lack of caution). In particular, what should be vehicle speed (which brings a setpoint value to ACC).

This V0 did not integrate already all the technologies of partners which bring for most of them new inputs to NEXYAD caution assessment cognitive AI in order to get a better description of context.
This will be done in DREAMOTOR 1 V1.

Some OEMs tried DREAMOTOR1 V0 in the streets of Hamburg (real tests in real streets) and NEXYAD got very good feedbacks. Now we are on partners technologies integration to improve functions.

Soon the next episode at PFA Day (journée de la Plateforme Française de l’Automobile) à Paris.

Article on Nexyad & Here partnership by GeoSpatial World

Maximum speed recommended for a specific vehicle at a specific time

Nexyad’s real-time data aggregation platform provides two output values ​​20 times every second: the lack of caution of the driver and the maximum speed recommended given the road conditions – legal speed limit, road roughness, topography of the road, weather, and traffic. Nexyad bases its analysis on several thousand road accident reports, using a set of rules from modern hybrid AI which includes knowledge-based systems, deep learning, neural gas, PAC (Possibly Approximatively Correct) learning, game theory, reinforcement learning, possibility theory and fuzzy logic.

By recommending a ‘maximum cautious speed’ based on real-time data and context-specific to every single vehicle, driver and driving environment, Nexyad’s approach goes much further than the European requirement for vehicles to be aware of the legal speed limit on each road segment (Intelligent Speed Assist). Nexyad’s safety coach called SafetyNex acts as a true co-pilot for the driver as it provides real-time guidance so as to anticipate possible emergency situations ahead that may lead to an accident. This proactive coaching activates while driving and has been demonstrated to reduce accident rates by at least 25%.

Nexyad and HERE Technologies Deploy Next-Gen cognitive AI to Improve Vehicle Safety

Paris, France – Nexyad, an embedded, real-time platform for aggregating on-board data, and HERE Technologies, the leading location data, and technology platform, have teamed up to bring cognitive Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the world of road safety. Nexyad employs cognitive AI to aggregate and interpret extensive data sources in a vehicle in real-time to determine whether a particular driving behavior is appropriate given the surrounding context. This assessment can be easily delivered to a driver via mobile phone and is calculated using only four sets of data: HERE map, Global Navigation Satellite System, electronic horizon, and acceleration. Nexyad’s platform is also scalable, with the ability to aggregate data from Advanced Driving Assistant Systems (ADAS) sensors such as camera, radar and lidar, weather (visibility and temperature), and traffic data.

A new article of HERE360 about Nexyad Cognitive AI for Road Safety

What if you could see a crash before it even happened?
Welcome to the future of road safety with Nexyad and HERE.

Nexyad CEO: “Our artificial intelligence is a new way of reading maps. »

A car accident in Paris when he was a student would later set Gerard Yahiaoui on the path to making the roads safer for us all.

The incident, which saw both cars damaged beyond repair, was unavoidable, and neither driver saw it coming. Fortunately, Gerard and the driver of the other car escaped without injury. But the incident left him with a yearning to do more to help other people avoid a similar situation.

After his crash Gerard recalls thinking at the time: “I had this thought in my head that I should have been warned in advance. »
