Seeing the future of self-driving cars coming - TechHQ

In Part 1 of this article, we spoke to Kevin Gordon of NexOptic – a company working to solve the problems of enhanced visibility and pixel-level clarity for an initiative on self-driving cars that goes by the name of ALIIS (Alice), based in South Korea. Kevin explained how NexOptic – originally an optics company – came to be solving the problems that might well one day render self-driving cars the reality we've been promised is coming for a decade. We learned of the trials of getting noisy images cleaned, and the setbacks the company had had with scaling its initial process. In particular, Kevin explained that the South Korean government had been helpful in facilitating the dataset build out for such projects, allowing younger companies at the forefront of innovation to get on board. That's quite the contrast to the way things have gone with Western developments in self-driving cars, isn't it?
