Hyundai Mobis and Russia-based company ‘Cognitive Pilot’ have announced the completion of a software module for active safety and autonomous driving.
The companies say their computer vision based software module is capable of recognising different classes of objects moving along the roads such as various types of cars, buses, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians. The core technologies used in the development of the module are described as ‘deep learning neural networks that provide the system with the required recognition accuracy’.

The module, they say, will be integrated in the control systems of luxury vehicles, making them even smarter and safer.
The developed ADAS system and computer vision based software module are consistent with SAE automation levels 3 and 4.
Olga Uskova, president of Cognitive Technologies, said: “The main goal of our joint work was to create one of most reliable and safe autonomous driving systems in the world. We have successfully solved the most difficult task of an accurate detection of traffic participants: pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and other objects that don’t have a constant shape. The system works in almost any conditions: rain, snow, fog, bright sun and night time. In the nearest future the company expects to present more exclusive agreements with the world’s leading car manufacturers and OEMs. Those are the developments in the field of creating ADS for ground transportation and 4D imaging radar sensors.”
Cognitive Pilot, a subsidiary of Cognitive Technologies group, is Russia’s first player in the autonomous vehicles market. Besides standard vehicles, the multi-platform C-Pilot system can be installed on trains, urban electric trains and agricultural machinery, the company says.
In 2018 the company also developed a 4D imaging radar for self-driving cars. It says the Cognitive 4D Imaging Radar can detect objects at a distance of 300 m ‘in the range of azimuth angles greater than 90-100 degrees and elevation angles up to 15-20 degrees’.
Cognitive Technologies says it has had software development contracts (OCR CuneiForm) with companies including Samsung, Hewlett Packard, Canon, Oracle and Xerox.
