Talking Autonomy: Hardware to Enable Scalable Autonomy

Ghost Autonomy hardware/firmware engineer Arpita Ghosh Dastidar takes us on a tour of the Ghost Reference Hardware, and how less than $1,500 of commodity hardware can enable an autonomous vehicle that consumes less than 150W of power for autonomy. Ghost has focused from inception on creating a technology recipe for autonomy that can scale to ANY car - not just luxury cars and robo-taxis. Key to that recipe is a deep co-optimization of hardware and software, and designing a hardware stack that takes advantage of high-volume, commodity components like camera sensors and GPU-enabled SoC compute who's innovation is being driven by the global cell phone industry. Arpita walks us through all the key components of the Ghost hardware architecture, and discusses key optimizations to enable the low-cost, low-power design. Thank you for watching Talking Autonomy, a series of short tech talks that explain the key elements of our work at Ghost. Subscribe and stay tuned for new episodes as we continue exploring the core technologies behind the Ghost Autonomy Engine and sharing insights from the founders, engineers, designers, mathematicians, and even the policy-makers who are responsible for bringing Ghost’s self-driving technology to the roads.
