SOMERVILLE, Mass., Dec. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Perceptive Automata, the leading provider of human behavior prediction software for machines, announced today that the company has been included in the Cool Vendors in Automotive and Smart Mobility report by Gartner, Inc. (October 2018). The report profiles four innovative emerging vendors that are using artificial intelligence to make mobility easier, smarter and more efficient.
According to the report, “The[se] vendors use AI techniques to generate a better understanding of human behavior. As a result, they provide solutions for the intelligent mobility of the future or use AI to bring the solutions seamlessly into the automotive ecosystem.”
Perceptive Automata uses behavioral science techniques to give automated vehicles the ability to understand the state-of-mind of humans, pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists. Automated vehicles need this capability to drive safely, smoothly, and predictably in a human-dominated road environment.
The company is working with customers and partners to integrate its software into their driver assistance (L1-L2) and autonomous driving systems (L3-L5). Perceptive Automata recently announced its Series A financing led by JAZZ Venture Partners with participation from Toyota AI Ventures and Hyundai CRADLE. The company also recently announced a collaboration with Honda at CES 2019.
