TL;DR; Quick and effective extraction of the long-tail of real but rare scenarios are critical to quickly getting AV/ADAS off-the-ground into the real-world. Furthermore, by leveraging insights on the variabilities of such long-tail rare scenarios, scaling them would get easier and affordable. Rydesafely's three products - Ryde-EuroNCAP, Ryde-ADAS, and Ryde-Autonomy, enables such insight extraction for … Continue reading The long-tail of rare but realistic scenarios are thorns in the AV/ADAS software’s flesh

TL;DR: Given the pressing need for affordable scaling of mobility automation solutions, there is a need to formalise this problem. One such method can be drawn from the pages of Big O notation where the growth of data requirements can be measured given an increase of deployment scopes. Scaling ML based autonomous systems is probably … Continue reading Measuring scalability for autonomous mobility solutions and supervised ML

TL;DR: Our technology falls short to know the true one-way speed of light. It casts serious questions on our understanding of reality including if two events should be deemed happening simultaneously, even if they are unfolding right in front of your eyes. No one knows the real speed of light: One mind-boggling thing I learned … Continue reading Light DOES NOT travel at the same speed in all directions or does it?

Back during the year 2018, I was looking for ways to solve pressing problems in India and globally by applying modern Machine Learning (ML) techniques. I made some notes in that pursuit. Sharing them so that others can find it useful if not outdated completely. Thanks to my friends Anirudha, and Akshay and smart & … Continue reading Positioning Machine Learning for Emerging India and Developing World (last updated in 2018)

From September 2020 until almost mid January 2021, I participated in a jam-packed program called Form from the highly coveted EF (https://www.joinef.com/). For a person like who had never been exposed to the commercial side of things, this period led me through like-never-before personal growth. And oh boy, it challenged every nook and corner of … Continue reading My main learnings from 3-month long power-packed EF Form

For the past few months, Rydesafely have been churning out customer discovery calls one after another strictly abiding by the principles of the Mom test. This strategy was tightly coupled with our intent to squeeze the most of our respective experiences of facing the brunt of not being able to deliver machine-learning-based software that can … Continue reading Launching RydeSafely

Sushant Singh Rajput (SSR) died under mysterious circumstances on 14 June, 2020. It breaks my heart to see such a loss to India and to the whole world. He was a manifestation of versatality, curiosity, hope, self-belief, intellect, perserverance, and energy. His work, interests, vision have been nothing short of an inspiration - investments in … Continue reading The Legacy of Sushant Singh Rajput

TL;DR Humans have again started to work actively to set up a permanent base in the space and on other celestial bodies. Factors that led to this renewed interest in space include developments in our space-related technologies, better understanding of rocket science, discovery of compelling resources outside of earth, economic arithmetic and our very own, … Continue reading A New Economy called Space and its Transformative Effects on Earth

In my other blog post, I showed my optimism towards a world with Neural Networks (NN) based autonomous robots by listing the current pain points and their potential lines of solutions around such software systems. The development of NN infused robots has not seen as fast development as in fields like computer vision and NLP, … Continue reading Hardware-based Challenges for building Autonomous Robots
