Artificial intelligence engineers in the LG Electronics Silicon Valley Lab are working with machine learning experts at Unity Technologies to develop advanced simulation software that will enable autonomous vehicle developers to accelerate system training for safer driverless cars. The collaboration on the LGSVL Simulator on Unity Simulation leverages LG’s AI leadership and expertise as a leading technology partner to the global automotive industry, combined with complementary skills of Unity Technologies, creator of the world’s leading real-time 3D development platform.
Towards a Driverless Future
The collaboration between the two companies in advanced simulation is expected to greatly benefit the automotive industry as it moves toward a driverless future. Autonomous vehicle developers running the LGSVL Simulator on Unity Simulation will be able to dramatically accelerate the training of their systems by running multiple scenarios in parallel. With Unity’s latest advancements, the LGSVL Simulator can create digital replicas of real-world environments with accurate sensor models to train autonomous vehicles across multiple scenarios.
Training and validating an autonomous vehicle is a prime example of how a virtual environment can dramatically reduce the risk for both the car and those around it, allowing businesses to stress-test systems before they are put on the road. The LGSVL Simulator combines LG-developed technologies with Unity’s Data-Oriented Tech Stack and the High-Definition Render Pipeline to enable testing and training for safer operation of autonomous vehicles.
