Autonomous Vehicle Analytics in Action
See how automotive teams use Sourcetable to solve real AV data challenges
Safety System Validation
A major automotive manufacturer needed to validate their emergency braking system across 50,000 test scenarios. Using Sourcetable, they imported sensor logs, crash test data, and simulation results. AI analysis revealed that braking performance degraded 15% in wet conditions with tire temperatures below 40°F – a critical finding that led to algorithm improvements before production.
Fleet Performance Optimization
An autonomous taxi service analyzed 100,000+ rides to optimize their routing algorithms. By combining GPS tracks, traffic data, and passenger feedback in Sourcetable, they discovered that avoiding highways during rush hour reduced trip time by 12% while improving passenger comfort scores by 18%.
Sensor Calibration Analysis
A research team studying LIDAR accuracy across different weather conditions processed millions of point cloud measurements. Sourcetable's AI identified that accuracy dropped 8% in fog but remained stable in rain – insights that directly influenced sensor placement and calibration protocols.
Energy Efficiency Studies
An electric AV development team tracked energy consumption across urban, highway, and mixed driving scenarios. Analysis revealed that regenerative braking efficiency varied 25% based on traffic patterns, leading to software optimizations that increased range by 8%.
