With the gradual development of artificial intelligence in the era of the big outbreak, the outline of automatic driving technology has become clear. However, automatic driving AI learning requires a large number of data and simulation tests, the Japanese economic News (Nikkei) 20th reported that now a new AI company in Japan, Ascent Robotics, considering the actual road test data is limited, developed a virtual 3D road information with AI technology, Let the self drive system carry on the deep study. The system, which does not require road experiments, ' ai learning from AI ', is being watched by many factories. Ascent Robotics was founded in September 2016 to assemble technical developers from 11 countries, including Japan, the United States and Israel. Ascent introduced the deep learning model developed by Goodfellow, the original Google, to generate an adversarial network (GAN) to develop software that automatically simulates automatic driving-related data, ATLAS. Gan's principle is, the two groups of AI, a group called the Generator (generator), can create images; The other group is the discriminant (discriminator), which evaluates or judges the output of the generator. Through the process of continuous generation and evaluation, the accuracy of the generator AI is enhanced to bring the output closer to the realistic image. Ascent application of this technology, first take the camera on the road pedestrian or vehicle movements, and then according to its 3D CG image and animation, so that the Atlas software within the AI can be based on the image or animation, in the software to reproduce the surrounding environment of the road. At this point in the atlas of the discriminant AI again for the image, animation to identify it for passers-by action or vehicle movements. Through this process to improve the generator precision, you can reproduce countless groups of passers-by and vehicle movement combination on the computer. These road information data combinations can be used as learning data sources for autopilot AI systems. That is to say, there is no need to allow vehicles to run tens of thousands of or even hundreds of thousands of of kilometers on the road, but also to get a wide range of traffic test data. Ascent aspects revealed that the AI to simulate the actual situation of the road, so that the automatic driving system to learn the practice of the world only ascent to proceed. Almeida, founder and Technology liability, said it was expected to launch an AI system for automatic Level 4 2020 years ago. It is reported that at this stage ascent has obtained the attention of several domestic industry in Japan, and is cooperating in the discussion. Ascent, another entrepreneur, also president of Yishihi Shishi said, although ascenty in automatic driving and AI technology in the beginning than the British DeepMind, the United States Waymo late, but ascent hope to promote overseas IPO in 2020, Prove that Japan can also develop an automatic driving technology not lost to Europe and the United States.
