Carmakers are racing to meet new high-tech safety standards, such as automatic emergency braking systems, that are expected to take effect across Europe and the United States next year.
Israeli startup Brodmann17 hopes that its cheaper and hyper-efficient software will lower the cost of the sophisticated artificial intelligence and machine-learning applications behind these new driving features, allowing them to be fitted to more non-luxury vehicles.
Brodmann17’s main breakthrough is a new type of computer algorithm, or computational process, that minimizes the number of calculations made on the data flooding in from cameras and other sensors on the car.
