Presentation

Developing and validating an AI-first autonomous driving system

The talk presents the Nuro Driver, its current architecture and main components, perception, mapping and localization and behavior. We look into the machine learning and robotics parts of the Nuro Driver and our approach to ensure the safety of the generated trajectories. We also show how to test and validate that the overall system works as intended.
