I made some very small tweaks for Carla 0.9.15 ROS Bridge and ROS 2 Humble compatibility. Unlike other versions this one has an updated docker build file: https://lnkd.in/eY_b55M2 #docker #ros2 #CarlaSimulation

This is a great paper and one of the quickest ways to understand the Cruise robotaxi incident.

The BC ADIT Robotaxi Report plus recent news from Waymo indicates that total robotaxi mileage thus far is 60M miles or more. Here's a run-down on activity in robotaxis, roboshuttles, and autonomous buses worldwide. Plus.... ruminations from Moi on the early days of autonomy and how it all might have come to nothing. #driverlesscars #robotaxi #roboshuttle

The end of ZIRP has hit a lot of companies very hard (I should know, I got terminated 🙃). But! One great side-effect is an increased interest from Automotive OEMs and suppliers for collaboration in open source projects! Come check out how Eclipse uProtocol can help wrangle all your apps 🤠

Hi Andrew Feldman - a few questions on these Llama3.1-70b performance numbers, given that the WSE-3 has no HBM and all parameters need to be held in on-chip SRAM. > Based on what was presented at Hot Chips '2024 in August, you need 4x CS-3 racks, each with a WSE-3 to run this model. Is this an accurate assumption? > With 4x CS-3 racks , each WSE-3 having 44G of on-chip SRAM and running the model in FP16, one needs 140GB for parameters. With a total of 44.*4 (176GB) of SRAM; that leaves us with 176-140 = 36GB of memory for user-KVCache, assuming that none of the on-chip SRAM is needed for other things like holding program data. Is this an accurate assessment? > Given the 568 T/s for Llama3.1-70b and at a context of 8K, one needs 2.44GB (FP16) per user for KVCache. Is it correct to assume that there can be a maximum of 36/2.44 = ~14 concurrent users on the 4-CS3 rack solution or is it actually less concurrent users with current system capabilities for these T/s numbers? > With these 4x CS-3 Racks, at 34kW for each rack, would this mean a 136kW solution for these T/s results? > What are the implications when context length goes up to 128K and results in significantly increased KVCaches? > How many racks are needed for a 405b model?

News about ADS - Jun 17, 2024: 😢 1) Waymo driverless vehicle contacts with a tele pole in an alley near 7th Avenue and Roosevelt Street 8 mph when pulling over in AZ on May 21, 2024 -> SW recall on Jun 12, 2024 https://lnkd.in/g9xQScah https://lnkd.in/gC_MYrE2 https://lnkd.in/g8zAxcQZ Root cause: "SW map" seems not a real root cause-> possible perception issue 2) Real robot driving a car - robot driver Misachi 😁 https://lnkd.in/ggpB_u3G 3) "NVIDIA Research Wins CVPR Autonomous Grand Challenge for End-to-End Driving" 👍 https://lnkd.in/ginE6CWF 4) Tier IV & Suzuki partner up for ADS 👍 https://lnkd.in/gTzvTrEJ 5) A sad story - but what happens to the driver who used the phone - too unresponsible 😔 - Tesla with FSD engaged from AP News https://lnkd.in/gCS9eXuZ

A little not known fact, a CPU, here an intel 56 cores is capable of 12 TERABYTES per second cumulated across the cores bandwidth, and it is matching easily the bandwidth of E.Us in GPUs. The hard part is to make sure you get a 99% L1 cache hit, then, you easily match GPU in performance. With the neurones becoming more complex, you can expect this to become an advantage.

Waymo to add Hyundai EVs to robotaxi fleet under new multiyear deal 🌏 Hyundai Motor and Waymo have agreed to a multiyear, strategic partnership that includes the self-driving company adding the South Korean automaker’s Ioniq 5 electric vehicle to its robotaxi fleet. Initial on-road testing with Waymo-enabled Ioniq 5s will begin by late 2025, and they are expected to become available to Waymo One robotaxi riders in the years to follow, the companies said. * Ride-hailing drivers will be Disrupted by Technology, Artificial Intelligence with Autonomy 🤖

June 2024, I recompiled and modified the linux kernel and successfully verified its scheduling with an ASIL-D micro-controller attached to the high-performance system, making the high-performance system compliant with ASIL-D in term of scheduler. Of course, you know me, the patent is filed, and I will be attempting to push the modifications to the public code base. This will allow many sectors to run detection of abnormal behavior with a highly safe system, introducing virus detection by a safety trusted separated sub-system, intrusion detection and so many more security related topics. I expect all data centers to have their processor scheduling to converge to this solution in the next few years. #ADU / #mSoC are equipped with such a system.

Did you know that it's possible to build with a stable Rust compiler, but break compatibility guarantees and allow usage of nightly features? 🦀 🛠 From what it looks like cargo-tarpaulin is an example of this, where in order to build doc test coverage with the --doc flag we need to supply RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1 to allow usage of nightly features. More on this feature of rustc here 👇 https://lnkd.in/eDV26fcA. Where it should be noted: > This should never be used except when bootstrapping the compiler. 😆 Does anybody know of other tools that require this behavior? 🤔

New SMACC demo in Isaac Sim 4.1 using the NOVA Carter, ROS2 and Nav2! This is what a ROS Autonomy demo should look like. We built this state machine application from the ground up using the IsaacROSDev Containers from the Isaac ROS 3.0 release, and they are totally awesome. Gordon Grigor, Hemal Shah and the rest of the team at NVIDIA Robotics, I think you guys have changed robotics with that move. We're counting on that containerization strategy greatly simplifying the deployment of SMACC applications onto the Jetson platform. This demo has also laid the groundwork for us to incorporate important pkgs like the NITROS Pipeline, Nvblox, FoundationPose and others into our future autonomy demos. Jensen Huang, Can I please borrow one of these NOVA Carters from the robotics team? I'll bring it back in one piece. It might get a little dirty but I think it should be fine. For all the ROS developers out there, the source code is licensed under Apache2. https://lnkd.in/gmGjXDJ5 - It's yours to do with as you please. Use it as the starting point for your own robotics applications. #SourceCodeAndVideo Mike Oitzman|Lukas M.
