At the CES Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, AIMMO has presented what it describes as the world’s first end-to-end data operations service – ADaaS, or Autonomous driving data as a Service – and explained how the technology has been designed to overcome the industry-wide problem of excessive data collection that has constrained the progression and commercialization of AV technologies.
The use-case complexity of autonomous vehicles has seen the industry use large volumes of data to train self-driving algorithms. However, this approach demands significant data collection which in turn reduces data quality and thus the overall time and efficiency of data operations. AIMMO’s ADaaS approach to solving this problem is distinctly different and marks a paradigm shift – ADaaS focuses on automotive standards of definition, high-quality baseline (or ground truth data) and AI-powered synthetic augmentation. This ‘data-centric’ approach based on quality and accuracy exponentially reduces time and the associated cost of the most significant bottleneck in AV development – the training of self-driving algorithms.
Moreover, AIMMO’s ADaaS service provides all of these gains for customers in a single, integrated, end-to-end workflow. With the potential to exponentially reduce the time and cost of DataOps, while significantly enhancing data accuracy, the tool set offers customers the potential to leapfrog the competition to accelerate their AV deployment to commercial viability.
AIMMO has prioritized wholesale changes to the DataOps process in the automotive and mobility sector as it is a leading vertical undergoing rapid and significant transformation. As a consequence, AIMMO has invested extensively in sector-leading expertise from the AV and automotive domains with personnel experienced in complementary disciplines from operational design domains (ODD) to functional safety as well as machine learning. The Korean-headquartered company, with offices in Europe and the USA, works across the global automotive supply chain with vehicle manufacturers, tier suppliers and new autonomous vehicle developers.
“Over the years, we have seen a huge amount of anticipation around when we will see autonomous vehicles commercialized but with standards and regulations ever-changing across the world, it is an extremely complex market to navigate,” said SeungTaek Oh, Founder and CEO of AIMMO. “However, we believe that the arrival of AIMMO ADaaS is a game-changer for many companies operating in this space. With the rollout of our new service, we hope to make a valuable contribution to the progression of the market.”
