Venti Technologies announced that it has entered into an agreement to develop and commercialize driverless sanitation vehicles and system solutions with Aerosun Corporation. The initiative will start with creating a prototype autonomous street sweeper for use in pedestrian lanes where there is increasing demand to promote health and safety, and a decreasing workforce available to undertake the role. Using Venti Technologies’ best-in-world Perception System, which enables autonomous vehicles to move at safe speeds and detect threats and avoid obstacles with real-time response, the prototype design will optimize efficiency and effectiveness – with low speed, low risk and low cost utilization. Venti’s autonomous mobility platform surpasses slow, inflexible situation-based-coded systems through using Deep Learning and Model Predictive Control algorithms. Venti’s vehicles are able to maneuver around parked cars, people, animals, scooters and other obstacles, and have 360° vision for optimum safety. The Venti-enabled autonomous vehicles see small obstacles such as a 12-oz. can, and can see around corners. The AVs do not need any lane markers or beacons, can drive forwards and backwards, can do three- and five-point-turns and have rain operation. Venti’s system is the first in the world to improve both obstacle detection and vector velocity estimation accuracy by merging the analyses, to enable AVs to drive safely and reliably in complex environments.
