• Abstract: Computing platforms in autonomous vehicles record large amounts of data from many sensors, process the data through machine learning models, and make decisions to ensure the vehicle's safe operation. Fast, accurate, and reliable decision-making is critical. Traditional computer processors lack the power and flexibility needed for the perception and machine vision demands of advanced autonomous driving tasks. Hardware accelerators are special-purpose coprocessors that help autonomous vehicles meet performance requirements for higher levels of autonomy. This paper provides an overview of ML accelerators with examples of their use for machine vision in autonomous vehicles. We offer recommendations for researchers and practitioners and highlight a trajectory for ongoing and future research in this emerging field.

  We present a framework that monitors active vehicles using camera images and state information in order to determine whether vehicles are autonomous. Essentially, it builds on the cooperation among vehicles, which share their data acquired on the road feeding a machine learning model to identify autonomous cars. Experiments show it is possible to discriminate the two behaviors by analyzing video clips with an accuracy of 80%, which improves up to 93% when the target state information is available.
