Nexar Joins Berkeley DeepDrive Consortium to Shape the Future Of Driving

"Although remarkable progress has been made in the field of computer vision, the vast majority of both these theories and technologies have yet to transition to the real automotive world, where you have a huge variety of road infrastructure, side buildings, road signs, vehicles, and most importantly, human driving behaviors," stated Nexar co-founder and CTO, Bruno Fernandez-Ruiz. "At Nexar, we've assembled a first class technical team dedicated to propelling the automotive industry into the future using deep learning. Alongside fellow industry leaders participating in the BDD Consortium, the Nexar team will apply its rapidly expanding data network and industry know-how to infuse state-of-the-art deep learning techniques for the optimal and safest driving experience." Since its launch in February 2016, Nexar has tracked upwards of 20 million miles and recorded more than a half-million instances of driving incidents worldwide. This has provided the company with a large and diverse panel of data of real-world driving conditions, a databank that continues to expand every day and serves as a vital resource for the future success of the autonomous car industry.
