Zoox is taking a different approach to solving autonomy, developing a ground-up robotaxi designed for AI to drive and riders to enjoy. Without a human driver, the Zoox robotaxi relies on a robust perception system as its eyes on the road. Using an array of sensors and sophisticated machine learning algorithms, the vehicle is able to see and understand the world around it. The Zoox perception system not only detects and classifies several different types of agents in an environment, but can also understand if a pedestrian intends to cross a road or a construction worker directing traffic. In this presentation, RJ He, Director of Perception at Zoox, will explore how Zoox’s perception system enables safe autonomous driving of the company’s ground-up robotaxi.
