How AI Technology Helped These Startups in Asia Pacific Get Ahead In Their Industries

One industry that has thrived on its smart use of "machine learning" is the ride-hailing platform Grab. Its backend AI technology has enabled it to tweak and develop a more reliable platform for drivers and passengers. Thanks to the vast amount of GPS trails the platform have collected, the company has developed a more accurate map on the app for drivers and users, giving them better estimates on travel time and routes. In the future, Grab is also looking into developing a new feature that will enable the platform to turn photos sent by users into accurate addresses, helping drivers to locate passengers even better. Again, it's a technology that benefits all parties on the platform -- passengers can get home faster, while drivers can earn more from completing more trip requests.
