Sameep Tandon, co-founder of Drive.ai, said the company was inspired by an attempt to apply deep learning techniques to vehicle systems during the work of the AI Lab at Stanford University, which is the most sophisticated form of artificial intelligence, It is also the best technology to respond intelligently to various road conditions.

Drive.ai is planning to test a sensor vehicle equipped with a software based on depth learning, a car interface, and a display screen mounted on top of the car and used to tip around pedestrians and other vehicles. The screen will show whether the vehicle will brake, change lanes, or turn. The original target market for this technology was a fixed line of vehicles. Drive.ai has not yet announced the price of the system and the opening hours.

Wunda's wife, Drive.ai co-founder Carol Reiley, said: "We focus on developing a new language for cars, helping cars showcase their intentions and interacting with people inside and outside the vehicle in complex ways." Future vehicles need to communicate with us transparently, will have their own personality, let us feel comfortable and safe, even without the artificial driver. ”

With the expertise in the field of deep learning, Drive.ai has begun to cooperate with a number of auto manufacturers. Vehicles carrying Drive.ai technology were tested on the road in California this April.
