Unite! seed-funded project explores next generation of intelligent vehicles

As automated vehicles become more advanced, their energy demands increase rapidly, especially for perception and decision-making. While conventional AI approaches offer high performance, they are often too energy-intensive for scalable and mobile applications in automated vehicles. A promising alternative is neuromorphic computing, which uses brain-inspired techniques like event-based cameras, spiking neural networks, and specialized low-power hardware.
