lvl5
Building 3D maps for self-driving cars using computer vision.
Overview
lvl5 was a startup that developed a novel approach to creating HD maps for self-driving cars. They used computer vision to extract map data from video collected by smartphones in a crowdsourced manner. This allowed them to create maps more quickly and at a lower cost than traditional methods. In 2019, lvl5 was acquired by DoorDash, and its technology is now being used to improve DoorDash's logistics and delivery operations.
