Thank you, @Prudhomme. I believe it's important to approach discussions thoughtfully. Could you clarify if you and your wife's car can accurately detect a vehicle in your lane traveling at 100 km/h from half a kilometer away?

Yes. It is great to see a smart Ghanaian doing all this work but these technologes have been in existence for several years. I wonder if this is a case of poor reporting. Perhaps he has come up with an "improved" or more user friendly version of the AI Softwares that drive these nnovations.
Now driverless autonomous vehicles have become a common sight in many Western countries but particularly in major cities in China (which seems to have taken very big lead in AI driven autonmous vehicle technology)

Great doctor for saving at one life from accident. You know I was about to sue the TV stations for showing Tom and Jerry film for the mice in our rooms to become wise .Nowadays poison , trap don't catch a mouse and they don't fear cats also meaning Tom and Jerry films they watch on TV, they have learned their lessons but our drivers see accident every day and they think once you get involved in an accident then you have won the best driver award killing us more than

Such a brilliant idea and you want to manufacture and export in Ghana. Sounds a great idea and a patriotic one indeed but so r do it ! They will either use politics or stealing to run down your business. You don’t know Ghanaians, they will destroy you in a second. If you still want to do it here, then stay at the backend and let Obroni front for you. We don’t value our own! Some of them will come after me but I just said the truth!

Good initiative and my warmest congratulations to the innovator. However, in a country like Ghana where driving license can be bought (due to corruption) no amount of technology can lead to a decrease in the number of traffic accidents on our roads. We need a total overhaul of attaining a driving license in Ghana. The current system where people get a driving license without going to a
driving school is not doing us any good.

He must be fast to get a patent right. The West will study it, tweak it a bit and take the patent right. After all when we came up with AZONTO DANCE, they made attempts to claim originality. Same goes for the OWARE GAME.

Dr has done very well whether some of the current vehicles feature the intelligence system he has been talking about or not. My prayer is that the current government takes the system seriously and provide all the financial support required to have the system implemented. Dr Thomas Mensah was in the country with all his ideas. Whether he was financially supported with his high speed train only God knows. He got sick and passed away just like that. I might be wrong but it seems the "Abayifo" in the country do not like very intelligent individuals. God bless.

Thank you Dr. That is what we need to adjust proper living standards instead of placards in and on streets demanding increment of salaries; strikes “Ya Te Atua” That I suggest is lazy means to encounter life and its economics.
Going everywhere has nothing to with travelling. Rather observing then subsequent implementation of what had been observed to adjust the standards of home area worth recognition. Thank you Dr.
The exact procedures beyond the seas where life is developed. A well degree Prof.;Dr.; or simply academics “Nte Atua” Challenge the brains and muscles more instead of disturbing the authorities.

As an AI expert I commend this feat as it’s a good one . However I just hope they just don’t rely on accuracy as a metric to determine it’s viability as there are more powerful evaluation metrics like F1-score which specifies the precision rate , false positive and false negatives , in the case of classification or RME and MAE and even R- square , to determine its actual generalization accuracy . Some models can perform well on trained data but could struggle with unseen data . All in all , this is good news . I’ve made a model that ECG can use to detect fault of transformers even before they happen and I wish they can give this attention to it .
Good job Doc.

The technology Dr. Arbadiah is claiming as new already exist. It is called the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). It features include Forward Collision Warning, Pedestrian Detection, and Adaptive Cruise control. The technology currently exist in vehicles sold in the US in the last ten years. What he is trying to do is to have the technology installed in vehicles in Ghana that are not equipped with this technology Control, while falsely claiming he has invented a new technology.

It could be an improvement over the existing technology. Dr, please don’t bring it to Ghana. The NPP and NDC with use your creative skills for propaganda, and claim that the idea was proposed by them.
