New Liquid AI-Powered Skills Solution Offers a Modular, Optimized for Edge Cases, and Affordable Alternative to Existing Autonomous Driving Approaches

Autobrains, a leading innovator in automotive artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), is proud to announce the launch of its groundbreaking product line, Skills, powered by its proprietary Liquid AI technology.

Each Skill, End-to-End AI, is optimized for a specific driving scenario.

The Skills product line represents a significant leap in autonomous driving technology, offering modular, scalable solutions that effectively address edge cases while reducing computational requirements compared to existing approaches.

As the automotive industry accelerates toward full autonomy, Autobrains’ new approach tackles the key limitations of traditional AI models by introducing a flexible and adaptive solution. While current end-to-end systems rely on a single, large neural network, or complex, resource-heavy compound systems, Autobrains’ Skills solution delivers superior adaptability and efficiency.

“Our Skills product line represents a paradigm shift in autonomous driving,” said Igal Raichelgauz, Founder and CEO of Autobrains. “With Skills, we offer a flexible, scalable AI solution that can be deployed incrementally, starting with ADAS and extending toward full autonomy.

Existing autonomous driving solutions face substantial challenges in handling edge cases, which demand new, more adaptive AI technologies. Compound architectures, like those employed by Mobileye, divide tasks into separate modules, resulting in an information bottleneck. Monolithic end-to-end systems like Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) suite face issues with explainability, transparency, and efficiency in adapting to new scenarios.

Autobrains’ Skills architecture addresses these issues by decomposing autonomous driving into a collection of smaller, context-specific AI models – referred to as “Skills”-each trained and deployed independently. These Skills are activated dynamically based on the driving situation, optimizing performance and significantly reducing computational power demands.

Key advantages of the Autobrains’ Skills product line include:
Optimized for Edge Cases: Each Skill is optimized to handle specific driving scenarios, leading to superior performance in edge cases.
Scalability: The Skills architecture can expand from tens of skills for ADAS applications to hundreds of thousands for full autonomy.
Adaptability: Skills are activated only when relevant, minimizing power consumption.

With Air2Road, Autobrains is setting new standards in localization technology for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles. Based on Autobrains’ Liquid AI technology, Air2Road combines aerial images and vehicle camera data for highly precise localization. The multimodal system enables centimeter-level accuracy, thereby improving the safety of assistance systems.

Autobrains, a global leader in AI-powered automotive solutions, is pleased to unveil its latest innovation: Air2Road, a breakthrough localization technology developed to enhance the capabilities of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving solutions. Powered by Autobrains’ Liquid AI Technology, Air2Road delivers precise, real-time vehicle localization for safe and efficient navigation, even in challenging conditions such as occlusions, adverse weather, and complex urban environments.

Autobrains’ Air2Road Localization Technology
Fusing aerial images with ground images for highly precise and reliable localization.

As the automotive industry accelerates toward fully autonomous vehicles, reliable and accurate localization is crucial for determining both vehicle position and the driving environment. Traditional localization systems, heavily reliant on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) or crowd-sourced maps, face significant challenges such as limited coverage, high costs, and susceptibility to interference. Additionally, these systems rely on a single source of sensor-based information, leading to frequent errors and over-reliance on one type of input during driving.

“Air2Road is a game-changer for autonomous driving technology,” said Igal Raichelgauz, CEO and Founder of Autobrains. “By providing multimodal redundancy and unmatched precision, Air2Road pushes the boundaries of what’s achievable in vehicle navigation and safety, ensuring autonomous systems operate reliably under even in the most challenging conditions.”

Air2Road sets a new standard for vehicle localization by combining Signatures derived from two independent modalities – aerial imagery and ground-based perception – ensuring multimodal redundancy and accuracy. These Signatures are sparse binary hyperdimensional representations of both the driving environment and objects within it. This innovative approach overcomes many of the limitations inherent in traditional systems. These include:

• Multimodal Redundancy: By creating a joint representation of Signatures from two independent modalities (aerial images and ground-based data), Air2Road enables an unprecedented advantage of multimodal redundancy. Other existing systems use a fleet of vehicles with similar ground-based data sources, which increases repetitive mistakes and dependency on a single source of information.
• Full coverage: Unlike GNSS-based systems, Air2Road, with its Signature-based technology, continues to function effectively even under trees, bridges, between buildings, and in any other scenario with bad reception of the GNSS signal.
• Aerial Perception: Aerial images generate additional data layers-such as road markings, traffic signs, and obstacles-enabling safer and more efficient driving decisions and a redundancy to real-time perception.
• Scalable and Efficient: Traditional localization systems, such as crowd-sourced maps, require a fleet of vehicles to repeatedly traverse roads for data harvesting and building the map before the localization service becomes available for any vehicle. In contrast, Air2Road, enables the first vehicle on the road to achieve precise localization instantly, ensuring scalable deployment across various regions without compromising accuracy.
• Cost-Effective: Air2Road is compatible with affordable aerial imagery from multiple vendors, and its compressed Signatures technology enables large areas to be stored directly on the vehicle. This allows for a low-memory, low-bandwidth system, eliminating the need for constant cloud connectivity.
• Environment-Aware Path Planning: By leveraging real-time data on road conditions, traffic flow, and parking areas, Air2Road supports safer, more optimized navigation.

Inspired by the human brain’s ability to process multisensory information, Air2Road replicates mechanisms such as situational awareness and attention focus to ensure accurate decision-making. By filtering out irrelevant data and focusing on critical elements like road edges and buildings, the system significantly improves localization precision.

With its data-driven approach and revolutionary dual-modality technology, Air2Road is poised to redefine the future of localization, facilitating safer and more reliable autonomous driving solutions.

Autobrains, an automotive AI powerhouse, is unveiling its new groundbreaking AI technology, Liquid AI, which effectively tackles the three major challenges in today’s automotive AI landscape – covering edge cases, achieving a viable cost point, and bridging the gap between perception and decision.

Autobrains, a leader in automotive AI headquartered in Tel Aviv, introduces its latest breakthrough: Liquid AI. Liquid AI represents a paradigm shift in autonomous driving and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), addressing challenges that even the best automotive companies struggle to overcome. It combines Autobrains’ signature-based self-learning approach with a modular and adaptive architecture of specialized, scenario-based end-to-end skills. “While current technologies perform well in handling average conventional driving tasks, they fall short when faced with unexpected real-world driving scenarios that demand greater precision. By using or implementing our Liquid AI, automotive companies can close their AI gaps,” adds Autobrains’ Founder and CEO, Igal Raichelgauz.

The Challenges Faced by Conventional AI Systems:

• Edge Cases: The infinite variety of unexpected driving scenarios presents conventional AIs with practically unsolvable tasks. Today’s manually trained black-box systems cannot cover edge cases. Attempts to address this by feeding the systems more labeled images result in a loss of trackability and controllability.
• Cost: Addressing real-world driving problems by expanding existing systems with more data, labeling, layers, and computational resources leads to escalating costs and power consumption, resulting in diminishing returns. Achieving a substantial improvement in system accuracy by a factor of 10 requires 10,000 times more computational resources.
• Perception-Decision Disconnect: The missing interplay between perception and decision functions hinders effective and precise decision-making. For the AI to make optimal driving choices, it requires specific information. However, when details are missing or overly complex, precision is compromised, leading to incorrect reactions.

Liquid AI – Human Brain-Inspired:
Autobrains draws inspiration from the human brain, which consists of specialized areas akin to task-specific narrow end-to-end AIs. Just as our brain adapts its architecture based on context – such as light/weather conditions, surroundings, and relevant road users – Liquid AI follows the same approach. Here’s how it works:

• Network of Specialized Narrow AIs: Liquid AI comprises hundreds of thousands of specialized narrow AIs, each designed for specific tasks, making reactions very precise and tailored to the relevant driving scenario. This specialized AI approach enables scalability, ranging from a few tens to hundreds of AIs for ADAS systems, scaling up to thousands for higher levels of automated driving, all the way to hundreds of thousands of AIs for full self-driving.
• Adaptive Architecture: Unlike fixed systems, Liquid AI’s architecture adapts dynamically to the driving context, activating only relevant modules as necessary. This significantly reduces power consumption and compute requirements, not only resulting in cost savings for the System on Chip (SoC) hardware.
• Efficiency and Precision: By mimicking the brain’s flexibility, Liquid AI achieves superior performance, cost-effectiveness, and safety.

The Future of Automotive Intelligence:
Autobrains’ Liquid AI bridges the gap between conventional AI limitations and the promise of truly intelligent autonomous systems. By mimicking the human brain’s flexibility, Liquid AI achieves superior performance, cost-effectiveness, and more explainability and controllability.
