E-scooters can impede autonomous vehicle safety. Learn how Aya enabled a client’s AV models to accurately detect and classify e-scooters.

Overview

The electric scooter market is booming and is expected to reach $34.7 billion by 2028, growing at an annual rate of 7.6%. This surge is transforming urban transportation, affecting everything from public transit to city infrastructure, and notably, how self-driving cars are trained to ensure safety.

With more e-scooters on city streets, regulations are struggling to keep up. City planners are working to figure out the best ways to manage this new technology while keeping everyone safe.

As the number of e-scooters grows, it’s crucial for AI companies to adapt to the rise in short-distance vehicles. They need to stay updated on new laws, common human behaviours, and ensure that self-driving cars can navigate safely in urban environments.

The Challenge

The Client needed to address a new challenge in training their self-driving car systems: the growing presence of e-scooters on European roads. Existing open-source data lacked sufficient examples of e-scooters and had inconsistent labels.

The task was to create a comprehensive dataset that would help self-driving car models recognize and predict the movements of e-scooters.

Solutions

Aya Data’s experts labelled 10,000 images featuring e-scooters in various settings and situations. Each e-scooter was marked and categorised by type and other relevant details.

Results

The labelled images were used to train the Client’s computer vision system. This improved the system’s ability to detect e-scooters in real time with 95% accuracy.
