The promise of AI in road safety
1.3 million lives per year: the cost of pattern, sensing, perception, and prediction failures 1.3 million lives per year: the promise of lives saved through road safety applications that leverage the four core capabilities of AI.

Scenario-based progress
If you cannot predict, you will plan in the dark. If you can predict, you can design a scenario that will deliver road safety. If you can design a scenario through prediction, all that remains is the will to implement it.
