Company mission
To prove cutting-edge AI software that empowers automakers and Tier 1 suppliers to launch the world's safest and most advanced L2 through L4 autonomous driving systems at scale.
Our take
Automakers are in a race to produce the best self-driving vehicle systems to future-proof their businesses, and the key focus depends on the development of hardware such as radar and video sensors. Whilst these produce essential data required for autonomous vehicles to assess their surroundings, the industry lacks a software framework for the analysis of this data to improve self-driving capabilities.
Helm.ai develops software that aims to understand sensor data in the same way that humans can assess information whilst driving a car manually. Uniquely, this software uses machine learning to train neural networks without the need for on-road testing and manual data analysis, in an attempt to increase the rate of self-driving vehicle development and reduce the costs required to do so.
The autonomous vehicle sector has had its fair share of bumps, from regulatory challenges to underperformance in publicly listed companies. But there's still a massive opportunity in less populated areas, especially for long-haul right fleets. 2024 was a busy year for Heal. ai as it introduced a range of products designed to meet these specific needs. And with its cutting-edge technology and expertise, it's perfectly positioned to bring autonomous vehicles to market and support the future of transportation in these growing markets.
