Teams with Dedrone by Axon, DroneSense and MatrixSpace to remove the human visual observer
Burlington, MA (October 21, 2024) – Expanding its pioneering Drone as First Responder (DFR) program, Campbell Police Department (CPD) is the first in California, using optical and radar sensors, to incorporate radar in a Part 91.113(b) waiver request to conduct single-person operations, which requires only one operator for flight operations. Adding radar also allows Campbell PD to operate without human visual observers at night.

Examining the Dual Approaches to Autonomous Vehicles
Date/Time: Wednesday, September 25 at 11:00 am – 12:00 pm ET
Webinar Description:
This webinar focuses on the examination of two primary strategies or methodologies being employed in developing and commercializing autonomous vehicles, as well as the challenges these approaches face in the process of being successfully commercialized. The first approach is the so-called vision-based end-to-end learning approach, for example, FSD from Tesla. The other approach uses multiple types of sensors including LiDAR sensors and relies on HD maps from the LiDAR sensors to localize the vehicle, for example, Waymo’s approach. We will compare and examine the two approaches from several angles.
