Kognic is taking on one of the most challenging areas in mobility - the quest to make automated and autonomous driving systems more accurate and safer.
Today, we help machines reliably make sense of a messy, chaotic, and unstructured world. Our data platform enables partners and OEMs to get to market faster with less risk - and data engineers simply love working with our tools as they build ADAS/AD systems.
Our future though goes far beyond automated driving. Perception is a vital technology in understanding the world around us and our expertise in machine learning is poised to positively impact other markets, such as Robotics, Manufacturing and Heavy Industry just to name a few.
