This AI vision startup, Recogni, has its sights set on enabling fully autonomous vehicles

With a mission to design a novel vision-oriented artificial intelligence platform, this Silicon Valley-based startup, Recogni, is the only solution on the market that has the performance and efficiency necessary to enable fully autonomous vehicles (AVs). The company is headquartered in San Jose, California, with operations in Munich, Germany. It is backed by leading venture capital firms, including GreatPoint Ventures, Toyota AI Ventures, BMWi Ventures, Faurecia, Fluxunit – OSRAM Ventures, and DNS Capital. Recogni's system could deliver unprecedented inference performance through novel edge processing, allowing vehicles to see farther and make driving decisions faster than humans while consuming minimal amounts of energy. The auto industry is experiencing an evolution to vehicle autonomy Current solutions are based on repurposing legacy technology, constraining their performance and efficiency, rendering them ineffective with regards to enabling full vehicle autonomy.
