Our guest today is Andras Palffy, Co-Founder of Perciv AI: a startup offering AI based software solutions to build robust and affordable autonomous systems.
In our conversation, we first talk about Andras' PhD focusing on road users detection. We dive into AI applied to autonomous driving and discuss the pros and cons of the most common pieces of hardware: cameras, lidars and radars. We then focus on Perciv AI. Andras explains why he decided to focus on radars and how he uses Deep Learning algorithms to enable autonomous systems. He finally gives his take on the future of autonomous vehicles and shares learnings from his experience in the field.
