What is AImotive?
AImotive's team has practical experience in artificial intelligence, computer vision, navigation and other fields. This company's autonomous driving solution not only does not use lidar, but does not even use radar. It relies directly on several cameras installed on the body of the car. The company's solution only costs $6,000 to turn an ordinary car into a self-driving driverless car.
What is the development history of AImotive?
In 2003, Laszlo Kishonti founded Kishonti, a computer vision technology research and development company, which provides computing performance analysis and optimization services to companies in the field of visual computing. Its customers include several NASDAQ Fortune 100 semiconductor research and development companies.
In 2009, Kishonti released NaviGenie, a real-time navigation application that supports offline use, and won third place at the NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenging that year.
In 2015, the research team received $2.5 million in Series A funding from Nvidia, Bosch Venture Capital and other institutions, and officially separated from Kishonti to form AdasWorks, headquartered in Budapest, Hungary.
In early 2016, BlackBerry's subsidiary QNX announced a partnership with AdasWorks. Several functions of AdasWorks, including lane recognition, moving object recognition and object classification, were ported to the QNXOS platform. By integrating the technologies of both parties, driving assistance technology and autonomous driving technology were developed.
In September 2016, AImotive established its first overseas office in Mountain View, California, marking its official entry into the U.S. autonomous driving market.
At the CES show in early 2017, AImotive took a very important step since the company was founded and demonstrated its latest autonomous driving kit - aiDrive.
On June 30, 2017, the company finally obtained the 36th autonomous vehicle road test license issued by the California Department of Transportation.
In the summer of 2017, the company began testing fleets in Hungary, France and California, USA.
