Helping Cars See Dangers That Humans Can’t

 -Imagine this. You are driving through a dark tunnel on a stormy night with the glare from rain and headlights making it difficult to see. What if your car could see for you and detect a motorcyclist who’s waiting out the rain on the side of the road in the tunnel? Well, the good news is that the mobility tech company, Magna, is the first company to design a digital radar technology that can do just that.ICON Radar offers drivers an added layer of safety and security on the road. Your car might already have sensors that flash in your rearview mirror when a car is in your blind spot, or that beep when someone passes behind you in a parking lot. ICON Radar takes this kind of vehicle-sensing technology to a whole new level. It can scan a car’s environment 50 times faster than the blink of a human eye. And because it’s digital, the signal is sure to be strong and reliable — such as cell phones when they shifted from using analog signals to digital ones.A vehicle with ICON Radar can actually scan the environment around your vehicle in four dimensions: distance, height, depth and speed. That helps it see objects such as a shredded tire on the road ahead of you, or that motorcyclist hiding from the rain in that dark tunnel. When obstacles are detected, drivers get an alert so they can take evasive action and safely steer clear of the danger.This technology can detect an object just 12 inches high from 164 feet away, a pedestrian more than a football field length down the road and another car ahead of you from more than three football fields away.It can also separate objects and detect if a person or bicyclist is next to a guardrail or a motorcycle in between two semi-trucks.We can all use some help staying safe on the roads. Magna is bringing new technology to the road to do just that as we head down the path toward full autonomy.

What is DNS

D NS stands for Domain Name System is used to as the medium to translate domain names to their respective IP addresses when a client initiates a request query. DNS stores the database of all the domain names and their IP addresses which are registered on the network. Most of us are quite familiar with the term DNS or Domain Name System. DNS can be thought of as an attendance register for various websites present over the internet. In the case of DNS, it maintains the database of all the websites Domain Names and their IP (Internet Protocol) addresses that are operational all over the world. Historical Notes The origins of DNS date back to the time of the ARPANET  when there were only a few computers to get an entry in the database. A HOSTS.TXT file was maintained by Stanford Research Institute, which constituted the data of all the machines, and was copied by all the host machines to remain updated. Jon Postel from the Information Sciences Institute requested Pau...

getting GPU and anaconda ready to use GPU with tensorflow

 Hello there and welcome  As the title suggests this post is about updating you GPU driver(Nvidia) and updating Anaconda to be able to use GPU with tensorflow(or any other) Let's start first off go to search bar and type Geforce Experience then open that applications If u have a nvidia Gpu card but don't have that driver go to  https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/geforce-experience/   to download it Then go to Drivers  and if the update is available it should so something like this           Go ahead and update  after downloading be sure to install it Next is to upgrade conda(Anaconda) be sure that when we are installing GPU support in tensorflow we will be using virtual enviroment for doing so Open up powershell as admin mode You can either go to Search  bar and type powershell, right click it then click start as administrator or press windows_key +x  and then press a   then type conda update conda  T...
