Engineers are hoping to develop faster, cheaper and more efficient ways to collect and supply the data needed for autonomous driving systems.
Aeva Inc's co-founders, Soroush Salehian and Mina Rezk – who both hail from the Special Projects Group of Apple – have developed a tiny box that they claim is the future of autonomous mobility according to an insider from The Verge who visited their warehouse last week.
This device can measure the distance and velocity of objects in a scene, virtually in real-time, relative to one another and the device itself, then predict the direction and speed that they will go via artificial intelligence. According to the engineers, however, this is not the innovation.
