Summary: Germany is opening up A9 Autobahn for testing self driving cars. Previously, German companies couldn't test on the public roads due to regulations. German car companies don't want to depend on Google for autonomous driving technology.
http://www.autoevolution.com/news/a-short-history-of-mercede... is an image of the actual vehicle I worked on.
So, while we couldn't test in no-humans onboard mode, we logged hundred of miles in fully autonomous mode.
Technical notes: the programming language was Occam. I'd have to look through my notes to see what the network size was, but the vision system alone (my main focus, no pun intended) was in the low double figures of processors, with most of those being dedicated to variance calculations to find prominent horizontal edges. I seem to recall we processed the video stream at 15 frames per second by the time I left.
Best. Internship. Ever...
