Latitude AI (lat.ai) develops automated driving technologies, including L3, for Ford vehicles at scale. We’re driven by the opportunity to reimagine what it’s like to drive and make travel safer, less stressful, and more enjoyable for everyone.
When you join the Latitude team, you’ll work alongside leading experts across machine learning and robotics, cloud platforms, mapping, sensors and compute systems, test operations, systems and safety engineering – all dedicated to making a real, positive impact on the driving experience for millions of people.
As a Ford Motor Company subsidiary, we operate independently to develop automated driving technology at the speed of a technology startup. Latitude is headquartered in Pittsburgh with engineering centers in Dearborn, Mich., and Palo Alto, Calif.
Meet the team:
The State Estimation team is responsible for multi-object tracking and scene estimation, in both a classical physics-informed and modern ML sense. Collaborating with other ML teams, systems engineering, and product management, State Estimation builds advanced models that blend the best of the research literature with the needs of industry to estimate long-duration characteristics (e.g. kinematics, shape, etc) of both actors and road features. State Estimation is the interface of the perception system to various downstream autonomy consumers including motion planning, prediction, and localization. The team takes these algorithms and models from the lab to the road, and directly powers production grade perception systems on our vehicles.
