RoadSight aims to enhance autonomous vehicle night vision with AI

#artificialintelligence

Among the challenges facing autonomous vehicle developers is the need to gather and process vast amounts of data gathered by cameras quickly and efficiently. Last month, BlinkAI Technologies Inc. announced its RoadSight product, which is designed to improve camera performance in low-light conditions. While some autonomous vehicle makers are using multiple cameras rather than more expensive lidar technology, that approach has raised safety concerns. The National Traffic Safety Board recently found that a contributing factor to the fatal Uber crash in 2018 was that the automated driver system did not recognize a jaywalking pedestrian in a low-light setting. BlinkAI spun out from the MIT-Harvard Martinos Center of biomedical imaging and emerged from "stealth mode" over the past few months.
