I’m very excited to share that Nexar is acquiring Veniam, a Portugal-based company who is a leading provider of intelligent networking for the internet of moving things. This is a big deal for us, being our first acquisition, and I wanted to share the importance of this step for
Edge devices and very large real-world driving datasets hold the promise of autonomous driving Over the past few years, we’ve seen significant advances in learning-based approaches to the development of automotive safety applications. These advances have been applied predominantly to the perception stage of autonomous driving systems. The decisioning
We’re all hearing and now talking about the inevitability of us ditching car ownership in the future. It’s coming from all sides. > “Uber will take over the world (as long as they can get out of their own way)”. “No one will own a car anymore”. “Millennials
February kept us guessing. From people casually hanging out on the freeway, to a drift that almost ended badly, here are the top moments from last month. Each month, we give you the videos captured by Nexar’s users that created the biggest buzz online. Some are just for fun,
We started Nexar because we believe in several things that few people do. We believe that you don’t have to wait for self driving cars to put a real dent in the 1.3M annual road fatalities. In fact, we believe all of the technology needed to stop most
Nexar was founded on a mission to create a safe-driving network that lets you see everything coming on the road ahead. When you pair a Nexar-powered dash camera with our app, you join this network, which uses artificial intelligence to spot upcoming hazards and alert those in the surrounding area.
A bridge to our autonomous driving future We’ve talked in previous posts about the challenges autonomous vehicles (AVs) could bring or worsen — traffic [https://blog.getnexar.com/traffic-wont-go-away-with-autonomous-cars-d136f22288a8] , time to market [https://blog.getnexar.com/buckle-up-transportation-will-completely-change-in-40-years-c75c5e46845c] , and ridesharing [https://blog.getnexar.com/ridesharing-and-carsharing-is-a-sideshow-54a253d58100] . However, they’re without a doubt
First post in a five-part series about how transportation will evolve as an ecosystem It will take 40 years for autonomous vehicles to replace human drivers across the world. Despite the hype and Tesla’s best efforts, it will not take 20 or 10 years, and definitely not 5. A
In January we saw jaywalkers and jay-bikers, falling telephone poles and strange skateboarding. Take a look at some of the craziest moments shared by our users. Each month, we give you the videos captured by Nexar’s users that created the biggest reactions in the community. Some are just for
Six weeks ago, we gave the beta version of the Nexar app — our smart dashcam — to just 20 drivers in Tel Aviv. After watching and analyzing 60,000 kilometers of driving, 3,000 total hours, and 11 hours of “incident” footage, we were blown away by the results. With those
Autonomous Vehicles Require a New City Model Over the course of the last several weeks we’ve talked about the many effects and even needs of autonomous vehicles as we work towards a future filled with them. We’ve debated whether people will buy fewer or exponentially more cars with
Traffic in Beijing. Fu Ding / For China DailyWe all feel it — traffic is getting worse and worse. Congestion periods have slowly expanded beyond commute times and become an all-day phenomenon. Our commute gets longer and longer with every passing year. In previous posts, we discussed how long it’ll take
We’re only human, right!? It’s a fact that 95% of car collisions are caused by human error. The autonomous vehicle has been heralded as the future road-messiah that will take the wheel and save us from self-inflicted pain and loss. However, it’s important to remember that it
This time we have dancing cops, pileups, and some insane road rage. Here are our last top moments for 2016 Each month, we present the videos captured by Nexar’s users that generated the most community buzz. Some are just for fun, while others present serious safety concerns. In the
