End-to-end autonomous driving with foundation models

Job Number: P24INT-31
​Honda Research Institute USA (HRI-US) is seeking a self-motivated researcher to join our Mobility Research team. This individual will contribute to the development of efficient foundation models for end-to-end autonomous driving. This task will entail finetuning of an existing multimodal foundation model to adapt to the driving task. A key requirement of this task will be real-time inferencing, which will require adaptation of the model to yield an efficient architecture.
Mountain View, CA
