Connected Car
By Dr. Georges Aoude, CEO/Co-founder of DerqThere’s no doubt that self-driving cars, or autonomous vehicles (AVs), are much safer than the average person-manned vehicle. In fact, more than 90% of serious crashes are due to human error, which means autonomous vehicles have the potential to significantly reduce the number of collisions and save lives. The incorporation of AI and video analytics in smart roads will further develop the technology of driverless vehicles. These innovations will also revolutionize the safety, comfort, and performance of autonomous vehicles and the overall transportation ecosystem. Derq is an MIT spinoff powering the future of connected and autonomous roads, making cities smarter and safer for all road users, and enabling the deployment of autonomous vehicles at scale.
