In 2014, Google’s DeepMind developed end-to-end driving systems, demonstrating the potential for fully autonomous control through deep learning.
This breakthrough highlighted the power of neural networks to learn directly from raw sensor data, bypassing traditional hand-engineered features and significantly reducing development time.
Vision Transformers (ViT) represent a paradigm shift in computer vision
Patchify: Divides an image into patches and treats each patch as a “token,” similar to words in a sentence, enabling the network to process visual information like natural language.
Self-Attention Mechanisms: Allow the network to weigh the importance of different parts of the image when processing information, improving contextual understanding and overall accuracy.
