Apply the most advanced game development technology in the mobile system development site.

I heard that in order to develop the driver assistance system, the game development technology was effectively used. It is very interesting to use game development technology in Denver, which is involved in the development of mobility systems.

I have been engaged in the development of game machines before. Although the design of GPU and the research and development of CG image processing have been carried out, I gradually want to effectively use CG in the real society. Soon, the development of driver assistance system in society became prosperous, and I thought I might be able to use the technology I have obtained so far flexibly. Therefore, in 2017, I moved to Denver. Combining CG and GPU technology, the virtual environment is developed to be used in the development of advanced driver assistance system (hereinafter referred to as ADAS).

I heard that many engineers who develop car simulation games like cars. What about Mr. Koguchi himself?

Small mouth: Because of my hobby, I often go to the seaside and the mountains, and then I hold the steering wheel and enjoy a ride. I haven't set foot in the field of buying competitive vehicles to participate in competitions (laughs). However, I wanted to understand the mobility fundamentally, so I got an internal license to test the course driver. During the lecture, it took about 2 months for special training on the test route, such as applying 0.5G or 0.7G pressure through the brake and driving almost sideways at high speed on the slope (the slope at the corner of the track, etc.). Instructors also have good guidance on the structure and action of mobility, so they have deepened their understanding.

That's great!

Small mouth: The biggest gain is that we not only carry out CG research and development in virtual environment, but also realize the importance of actually running mobility to deepen understanding. This experience has greatly changed my understanding of driving skills.

Speaking of which, why use game development technology for mobile system development?

Small mouth: because I think I can solve the problem of ADAS development.

Take parking support and automatic parking as examples. In order to park the car at the target location, it is necessary to detect the appropriate parking lot and stop it if there is a dangerous situation. In order to develop this cognitive function, it is necessary to use huge data about the parking environment for AI to learn and verify the system. With the increase of functions and models, more and more data should be collected.
