Autonomous driving through extremely-tight-dynamic environments with complex, stochastic, and adversarial traffic-dynamics, or simply through an absolute chaos, on sub-urban unstructured roads in India. This kind of traffic and environment has never been attempted in the history of #autonomousdriving. There were no traffic-rules to abide by on this road, other... show more

Appreciate the work but it doesn't seem like those other people in traffic had knowledge of what you were doing and I doubt they at least I wouldn't appreciate being a unwitting participant in your test drive. What if your system misjudged something and throttled hard on the accelerator?

It is more of a risk for us than to anyone else. It is career at stake. We wouldn't do anything for a cheap fame. Unless the tech is rigorously tested, we wouldn't do anything. Yesterday media came to do live demo off-roads. We realized there was a construction going on with pile of mud dumped from dumper trucks on the side of the road. I gave them an explicit warning, that I know our vehicle will avoid it but this is untested. They said their safety inside our vehicle is their risk, and only then we did the demo off-roads, and did two tests, where our vehicle did avoid the pile of mud on the side, before doing a live demo with them. The vehicle was never shown before pile of muds, and our explicit obstacles detection software was also never trained for that. So whatever we do, safety is of paramount importance. Everything else can wait in life. This motion planning and decision making framework has gone rigorous testing. Our electromech system is designed as such that a safety driver can easily take control. In Bolero it is controlled by a motor which has to actuate and thus there is no electrical current based system that cannot be controlled or monitored. This is the reason why we are not running Thar in dense roads, because it has directly input to the ECU.

This is miraculous...your autonomous vehicle is already better than 90% of Indian drivers 🤣

When you think of driverless vehicles, one thing that never comes to our immediate attention are the roads. We are so used to seeing autonomous vehicles run in controlled environments or great quality roads. Our imagination of self driving cars are always picturing a developed nation with HQ roads, no potholes, no uneven surfaces, at least not at every 10 meters. Seeing autonomous vehicle doing path planning on Indian roads, and in this video specifically, it is as basic as it can get in terms of majority of Indian roads, is highly appreciable. Even though there are so many more variables are at play and many more things to do, this gave me such a positive kick.

Great demo! At 3:11 in the video, there is a person visible on the driving seat. Does that person manually operate the car at any point of time? If yes, then could you please elaborate which of the manoeuvres were human-assisted? Thanks in advance! Really great work!

It is doing lot of last minute obstacle avoidance. More like swaying away. Could this be a feature or you working on to make it anticipate incoming cars much faster when they are at a safer distance?

Genius

I believe the car's vision is able to find the traversability region and utilise it... but its still inefficient when we got a traffic scenerios and a sudden appearance of say a bike(occlusion).. that's why we are still long away from having a driverless car

Cool stuff. Really appreciate the people who did this work 🙏🏻

Awesome never seen this before and simply love 😍the Flag on the vehicle🚩🚩🚩🚩
