The AI that could help prevent accidents between self-driving cars and cyclists

Argo AI, a startup specialising in the development of autonomous driving systems, is working on creating an artificial intelligence system specially designed to avoid collisions with cyclists. To achieve this, it will have to learn all the behaviours of these often unpredictable road users.

As part of its autonomous driving research, Argo AI has released a set of technical guidelines it is using to ensure that its autonomous cars can operate safely for cyclists. The guidelines were developed with the League of American Bicyclists (LAB), a bicycle advocacy organisation, and are intended to serve as a basis for work and improvement at Argo AI, and, more broadly, for all companies involved in developing autonomous driving.
