46 Focus | AI performance and accuracy to show that the networks are performing efficiently across the widest possible use cases. This requires sophisticated tools for managing the training data and adding in the synthetic data to handle the edge and corner cases. Conclusion Driverless cars are a major area of development for AI in uncrewed systems, and the DNN frameworks used for image analysis dominates the technology landscape. This technology is evolving from ADAS driver assistance to full safety- certified Level 4 and Level 5 autonomous driving, with a wide range of software tools and increasingly high-performance hardware for training the networks and for inference in a vehicle. These capabilities are extending to other applications for UAVs, from positioning and monitoring functions for wind turbines to alternative navigation tools. But there are other AI approaches that can also be used for image analysis in systems that require low power. The hardware and software tools for spiking are also evolving to give engineers more options for the control systems that guide autonomous systems.
