Paris, Porte de Versailles, March 22th 2023.
Nexyad visited Autonomy 2023 to discover what is new in the world of Mobility : electrification, soft mobility, charging facilities, Autonomous vehicles, car-sharing, insurances, technologies for fleets, etc.
Autonomy is also conferences, workshops, test tracks, and opportunity to meet nice partners (who recognize themselves on pictures) prospects and suppliers.
more to discover here : Autonomy Mobility World Expo (amwe.world)
Paris-Orsay,march the 14th 2023.
Our CEO, Gerard, was invited by Jacques EHRLICH, Emeritus Director of Research at French University Gustave EIFFEL, Professor at the French Engineering school Telecom Paris that is member of Polytechnic Institute of Paris.
Gerard teached “Autonomous Vehicle – from perception to Automation and Control”.
Very good students with lots of relevant questions.
Always a pleasure to share.
Thanks Jacques
St Germain en Laye, March 10th 2023.
Now DREAMOTOR1 is piloted by our AI SafetyNex for vehicle automatic speed control (longitudinal part of autonomous vehicle, that is also called sometimes Predictive ACC or Contextual ACC). Vehicle slows down automatically to stay PRUDENT (that the only criteria) when needed and else accelerates to speed limit.
No complex control laws, no cut into use cases: process is continuous and the only value to control is PRUDENCE level.
First implementation under fine tuning at NEXYAD is what we call our MVP (Minimum Viable Product): no ADAS sensors, only digital map, electronic horizon, and GNSS.
In the following months, we intend to integrate NEXYAD perception solution involving a camera (at least one) and a lidar. Perception will use NEXYAD perception AI software modules:
. VisiNex that measures visibility and detects lacks of visibility such as fog, heavy rain, lack of lighting, snow, etc
. RoadNex that detects drivable surface of the road plus lines
. ObstaNex that detects any object and recognizes vehicles, and pedestrians (soon more objects)
From this NEXYAD perception kit the 1st additional information that will feed the AI software module SafetyNex is interdistance, the second will be weather conditions, and the 3rd will be “presence of vulnarables”.
V2X will also feed SafetyNex with hazard warnings.
NEXYAD has shown that lateral control of vehicle is also possible by using the notion of PRUDENCE.
This will be done in 2023.
An Autonomous Vehicle on a new kind, based on PRUDENCE CONTROL, will then demonstrate that this new paradigm is lean (computing power, memory, …), efficient, in-used-monitored (with prudence assessed 20 times per second), and then finally TRUSTABLE (for people, for insurers, for authorities).
A revolution that may enable market.
Contact us to know more.
St Germain en Laye, March 8th 2023.
NEXYAD just finished to raise funds, for the 1st time (1st time, 1st round).
Raised funds : 570 000€
A small fundraising that gives their first “market price” to actions. This price is rising everyday as we get more and more good news.
Investors in NEXYAD will not be disappointed.
This 1st round is to be followed by 2 others, as car OEMs intend now to put NEXYAD AI software modules into series vehicles, and as Tier One Companies intend to integrate those AI modules into their products.
A new exciting adventure has started.
In addition, our integrators in aftermarket PRUDENCE assessment solutions for fleets and insurers are currently starting mass deployment. NEXYAD AI PRUDENCE calculation module SafetyNex (MVP version) will be soon used worldwide, running into smartphones and telematics devices (Minimum Viable Product).
Good news in this current depressed world.
We are proud to share. Take the wave with us.

. If we know what is behind the bus, and if there is nothing (*), it is possible to drive straight ahead, not slowing down, and still be PRUDENT (because nothing and no one may surround from behind the bus): Autonomous Vehicle Behavior #1
A complete Game Changer, what we call at NEXYAD “flexible thinking”.

Hello, NEXYAD wishes you a Happy New Year from CES Las Vegas Gerard, CEO of Nexyad |
 |
|
The 2023 edition of CES in Las Vegas seemed to be the year of resurrection. Not quite the same CES as before COVID-19 period, but much bigger than in 2022, even if the Chinese were still absent. We noticed the geant booth of Stellantis, a surprising Vinfast that presented 4 models, superb Mobileye with house of screens and Central Plaza alive with Waymo, Forvia, Valeo, Volkswagen, Aptiv aside and of course HERE Technologies that shows Nexyad video in a loop. |
There are more and more lidar companies at each corner of West Hall. Nexyad special interest also drove us to Amazon Automotive, Magna the famous tier one, Map provider Tomtom, AVL, Nira Dynamics that brings Vehicle Onboard Analytics and Road Perception, software maker Cariad for Volkswagen, and we met people from Lucid Motors, GM, Albizia Capital and Software République. |
Partnership of AEVA with Plus to propose highly automated trucks using 4D lidars long range detection. Paccar owner of DAF, Kenworth and Peterbilt, shown electric autonomous trucks L3 and L4 fast charger or hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.
|
There was quasi no Chinese this year in on the strip of Las Vegas as the Convention Center, however CES attracted lots of French people. They were everywhere. It was the right occasion to see our partners all together in the same place…

The 11th October 2022. NEXYAD CEO spoke at a round table for Maths students from all French Universities, and he explained NEXYAD activity on advanced Artificial Intelligence for road safety, and the special place of maths in the company. In particular, he talked about AI Knowledge Representation, Fuzzy logic, Possibility Theory, Deep Learning, Reinforcement Learning, and Neural Gas. He also insisted on Physics-Informed AI and on the complexity of transforming a real world problem in maths with simplicity. This round table was moderated by Juliette Venel, Professor-Researcher in Mathematics, CERAMATHS, Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France, and there were 3 other speakers with NEXYAD CEO:
(*) French National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (**) French National Basic Science Research Center

September 29th 2022. In the context of a technological partnership, DSPACE applied with success an advanced AI module of NEXYAD on the asynchonous real time framework RTMaps, for guiding autonomous driving robots: drivable surface detection from a camera, with our AI perception module RoadNex.
Note : free space detection here is performed only based on the camera video stream. The lidar sensor that is displayed is not used for this free-space detection and can be used for other functions (e.g. SLAM-based positioning, objects detection, free-space redundancy… what so ever).

We had the pleasure to showcase our road safety AI SafetyNex in the streets of Meudon, with our DREAOMOTOR1
demo car. We could discuss with high level experts of driving schools and find potential way to use this AI for different
applications. Very good meeting. The demo consisted in pasting on dashboard recommended speeds in real time
to help driver anticipate, and alert when prudence is too low.
