An update from @drogersuk.bsky.social on some of our historical shorthand research, which we have been building AI/ML models to assist with.

We are currently working on other use cases and applications of this model as it has proven highly effective!

This is particularly good as a belt-and-braces approach to ensuring that vehicles are not making poor decisions based on being setup to fail in the real-world physical environment. Our solution ultimately improves the overall safety on roads and motorways.

Applications of this AI model aim at enhancing the security of ADAS and autonomous vehicles by automatically detecting defaced or manipulated signs, sending a signal to the vehicle that the sign should not be trusted.

While trained and tested using a Copper Horse heavily modified mod of a driving simulator game, it proved efficient and accurate on real-world dash cam footage, further confirming the potential of using digital twins to effectively train AI systems.

It was a challenging day with very wet track conditions, but Sophia didn’t let that stop her—she managed to shave 2 seconds off her time between the first and second practice runs! Unfortunately, Run 3 didn’t go as planned. A brake failure at Esses led to an unfortunate encounter with the Armco...

It was a pleasure to be at Bletchley Park to show off our work on deciphering 17th century shorthand using AI that we have developed. It's a work in progress and we intend to open source it in order to help historians read the tens of thousands of unread pages of shorthand! #earlymodern #ai
