FiveAI
FiveAI is building the world's most reliable autonomous vehicle software stack to solve the most difficult problem of all - delivering a solution that's safe in complex urban environments, without any driver involvement. That's defined as the top level in autonomy - 5.Early approaches have required highly-accurate dense 3D prior maps and localization to solve this challenge.
FiveAI are using strong AI to solve the challenge, meaning they don't need to map 37.2 million kilometres'of road across the planet to deliver a reliable solution.
The FiveAI solution will enable safe, cost-effective urban mobility for all and they'll be announcing partnerships to deliver it to consumers in staged deployments across cities and towns as they grow.
