AI and You – The Israeli Start-ups Helping to Build Trust in AVs - Auto Futures

By 2025 the automotive AI sector could be creating as much as $26.5 billion in annual revenue. The sector is clearly booming, particularly in Israel, which has become a hotbed of talent. Ottopia is one Israeli start-up that has just closed $3 million in seed funding from investors. Unlike, some autonomous driving companies, it believes there's still a need for humans in the self-driving process. "We tackle the most difficult 1% of AV performance with a remote human operator. A remote human is called whenever and wherever the AV isn't sure what to do on the road. The trigger could also come from passengers in the AV," Says Co-founder and CEO of Ottopia, Amit Rosenzweig.
