Ottawa company is training autonomous vehicles how to deal with snow and storms

The reason for this is simple; snow is complicated for sensors, especially as we develop autonomous vehicles. However, an Ottawa-based software company is working on a solution by training artificial neural network models to make autonomous cars safer. Sensor Cortek aims to develop a deep neural network and AI-based perception system that can handle almost anything mother nature can throw at a vehicle. After a drive, the data is uploaded to train artificial neural network models. Eventually, this artificial neural network can be paired with sensors on a vehicle to detect road users in poor conditions to allow an autonomous vehicle to make a safer decision.
