Autonomous Driving Unmapped: Imagry's Novel Approach
When a vehicle drives autonomously, it's typically using high definition maps to localize within its environment. But what if the car loses connectivity and access to maps? Or construction zones alter the accuracy of the maps?
Imagry, an autonomous driving company and PAVE member, has a solution to these questions. The company provides HD-mapless and hardware-agnostic software solutions for autonomous driving that can be integrated into both passenger vehicles and buses.
Join us for a conversation with Imagry CEO Eran Ofir as we discuss the history of Imagry, the benefits of their HD-mappless approach, and what's in store for the future of automated driving.
