AI Driver Assistant “Pyrenee Drive”, Dramatically reducing Traffic Accidents.

Pyrenee Drive is the world’s first AI assistant that helps to dramatically reduce traffic accidents. Pyrenee Drive uses DeepLearning and proprietary algorithm on the edge to perform real-time image recognition and hazard prediction. When the risk of a traffic accident is imminent, an audible announcement is made to help avoid an accident. Even today, 1.35 million people worldwide die annually in traffic accidents. Traffic accidents are one of the most serious social issues that have yet to be solved. There are many accidents that cannot be prevented only by the automatic braking systems installed in cars.
