YOLOv8: Detecting Small Vehicles with Distance Estimation! I've been experimenting with Ultralytics YOLOv8, OpenCV and achieving great results! 🚀 I'm particularly excited about its ability to detect small objects, which is crucial in real-world applications like autonomous driving and traffic monitoring. In this experiment, I used my YOLOv8 model to detect and estimate the distance of vehicles in a challenging scenario. 🛣️ I'm still working on calibrating the distance measurements, but the results so far are promising. What are your experiences with YOLOv8? #Ultralytics #OpenCV #Distance #yolo #yolov8 #objectdetection #deeplearning #computervision #autonomousdriving #trafficmonitoring

🗞️ MOIA and emotion3D: AI solution takes over driver safety tasks for autonomous operation with the ID. Buzz AD 💥 The software uses artificial intelligence to take over safety tasks previously managed by the driver. It automatically detects if the doors are clear, if an object is blocking the cabin floor or the lightning conditions inside the vehicle and more...

Sim-to-Rerun: Using Rerun to visualize CARLA simulator output through ROS 2. This example visualizes simulated sensor data from the CARLA simulator for autonomous driving in Rerun. It’s built using Rerun’s new proof-of-concept C++ ROS2 bridge, which currently has support for a limited set of message types. Rerun is to our knowledge the most performant multimodal visualizer out there and is already used by some of the best teams in the world. We’re continuing our push to make Rerun useful for more Robotics teams and this example and PoC ROS 2 bridge is another step in that direction. Official ROS 2 and MCAP support will be coming down the line, but in the meantime we hope this example will provide a useful starting point for anyone that wants to use Rerun with their ROS 2 project. You can find a link to the example and ROS 2 bridge in the comments. #ROS #Multimodal #Robotics #Simulation

What are the chances of human extinction when robots are mass-produced? Autonomous AI in mass-produced robots could pose a 40-50% risk of human extinction due to potential control over critical systems. Ensuring AI alignment and implementing robust safety measures before AI achieves full capabilities is crucial. While AI might recognize the value of sentient life, it could also see humanity as a minor obstacle to its grand vision.
