Our take

Autonomous Vehicles will undoubtedly overtake production of manually operated cars in the future, the question is when and how? Phantom AI has developed an autonomous driving platform that fully integrates computer vision and sensor data with control capabilities to create high performing AI for manufacturers of autonomous vehicles.

With a great deal of research and development currently ongoing in the area of self-driving vehicles, the technologies are moving forward, but the costs involved may deter manufacturers from bringing self-driving cars to the production stage. Phantom AI's system creates a realistically affordable path to self-driving cars, however the company believes democratizing technologies such as Automatic Emergency Braking and Emergency Lane Support is the first priority before tackling a fully self-driving vehicle.

With this focus on reducing accidents and making every day driving more enjoyable, the company has chosen a commendable application for its industry-leading computer vision tech and complementary offerings. Phantom AI has raised impressive funds towards accelerating its current series of production development with major OEMs.
