•

Will a given action result in fewer fatalities?

•

What will the road users do?

•

When will a facility switch from safe to unsafe?

•

The promise of AI in road safety

1.3 million lives per year: the cost of pattern, sensing, perception, and prediction failures 1.3 million lives per year: the promise of lives saved through road safety applications that leverage the four core capabilities of AI.

Scenario-based progress

If you cannot predict, you will plan in the dark.

If you can predict, you can design a scenario that will deliver road safety.

If you can design a scenario through prediction, all that remains is the will to implement it.
