Lyft Launches Huge Dataset For Automated Driving Car Development For Free
by
To expand the dispatch service Lyft is the automatic operation car development department 'Lyft Level 5' in July 2017 launch , has developed its own automatic operation system. Such huge data sets that Lyft Level 5 has used for development of autonomous driving cars will be released to the public free of charge, and researchers from universities and other companies will also develop autonomous driving technologies using Lyft Level 5 data sets To be able to move forward.

Lyft believes that automated driving technology improves people's quality of life. By sharing self-driving cars with multiple people, it is possible to cope with environmental problems and the increased burden of urban infrastructure. Lyft's CEO, Logan Green, also emphasizes the development of self-driving cars, saying that 'automating technology not only reduces accidents and saves lives, but can also cope with climate change issues through car sharing.'

While many companies and research institutes are focusing on the development of autonomous driving technology, Lyft Level 5 points out that each research team is not ready to cooperate with each other. The development of autonomous driving technology benefits people all over the world, and developers argue that new investments should be made throughout the field. And, Lyft Level 5 has decided to release 'a set of data useful for developing autonomous driving technology' that he has collected.
The data set published by Lyft Level 5 boasts the largest amount of data in the data set for the development of publicly-known automated cars, and it says, 'more than 55,000 human-labeled 3D annotated frames 'The road surface map that can be run' 'data by seven cameras and three LIDAR sensors' 'HD semantic space map semantically classified objects in the space' etc are included.
The data released this time has been collected by Lyft Level 5 for two years. Lyft Level 5 collects data useful for a large number of autonomous driving technologies from autonomous driving cars that operate as shuttles for moving employees.
Also, HD mapping, which is important for autonomous cars, is being conducted by research teams in

Lyft Level 5 has long thought that mutual research teams need to work together to develop an autonomous car, and works with Aptiv , who is also developing an autonomous car, to operate an autonomous taxi in Las Vegas And other cooperation arrangements. The self-driving taxi is provided by Lyft's platform, which develops a dispatch service, and has already been used more than 50,000 times by Las Vegas users.
Also, with the release of the data set, Lyft Level 5 has decided to hold a contest by individual developers. The details of the contest will be announced in the future, but it will be a contest for training on algorithms using datasets. The winning prize is $ 25,000 (approx. 2.7 million yen), and the winner is invited to the NeurIPS 2019 machine learning conference to be held in December 2019, as well as an opportunity to interview Lyft Level 5 teams.

Academic research promotes innovation, but getting expensive data sets is difficult for public academic institutions. Lyft Level 5 publishes and shares its own data sets, creating an environment where all researchers interested in autonomous driving technology can conduct equal research, and researchers in a wide range of fields We look forward to contributing to development. Lyft Level 5 stated that it plans to release additional collected data in the future.
