Brodmann17 develops AI that is revolutionizing safety in mobility. The company’s computer-vision-centered technology saves 95% of compute power. This huge saving in cost has brought AI for the very first time to new verticals including mass-market passenger vehicles, video telematics and micro mobility. Brodmann17’s AI is based on deep learning neural networks that extract all possible information from a video to make the entire ADAS software smarter. Brodmann17’s patented perception software is scalable. It is easy to integrate and deploy as it is hardware agnostic and works on any processor from low-power edge to the cloud. Brodmann17 is growing fast and has attracted high-profile technology and automotive industry players - it is backed by Silicon Valley, European and Israeli VCs as well as Samsung, Sony, and Xilinx. The company was founded in 2016 by a group of deep learning, computer vision and edge AI experts who wanted to bring uncompromising AI to the edge and everyday applications. The company is named after Professor Brodmann, who organized the human brain into 52 regions. Area 17 is the primary visual cortex. Over a century later, Brodmann17s’ deep learning scientists have made this research more relevant than ever by creating the digital version of Area 17. Brodmann17’s cutting-edge technology, which delivers state-of-the-art accuracy using only a fraction of cominpute power, is built from the ground up and designed against the industry’s toughest standards for the world’s largest OEMs and Tier-1 automotive suppliers.
