, built and operated by Reka, a Malaysian artificial intelligence automation company which specialises in artificial intelligence, software and machine learning for autonomous driving.
This exercise in testing autonomous driving in the Perodua Bezza used – as seen in these images – focuses on software and machine learning, says Reka COO Mohd Amri Mohd Din, which is why the modifications carried out for autonomous driving are via additional hardware and actuators affixed to the existing driver controls for the steering, throttle and brakes of the production car.
Outside of the walking-pace demonstration held at MAEPS for the 2023 Malaysia Autoshow, the autonomous vehicle test bed is tested exclusively on the dedicated, and the Reka lab is also situated in Cyberjaya for ease of logistics for the autonomous vehicle testing team, Amri said. “We’ve done a project in Singapore that aimed to increase port efficiency while reducing accidents due to human error. By programming our autonomous vehicles to prioritise safety, we were able to develop a reliable and efficient solution for industrial use,” he said.
