By: Imagry Imagry Uses a Location-Independent Autonomous Driving Model Imagry software combines cutting-edge technology that captures and recognizes a real-time video feed with a deep neural network to make complex driving decisions instantly, based on current driving conditions. As such, the solution is location-independent ("mapless"), and therefore not limited to pre-learned geographic areas. This is a tremendous benefit for transportation authorities and urban planners who want to employ the latest autonomous driving technology with minimal engineering requirements, reducing both project costs and time-to-market. Autonomous Public Bus Project Joins Existing Autonomous Shuttle Project The autonomous bus project is preceded by an autonomous shuttle pilot program taking place at the Sheba Medical Center, the largest hospital in the Middle East. This pilot program is an integral step in the application of Israel's City of Health vision at the Sheba Medical Center, representing a shift in the principles of a green environment combined with innovation and the creation of an empowered human and patient experience. In both ventures, Imagry relies on the use of "best in class" components, including state-of-the- Imagry's autonomous shuttle service is planned to start in the first quarter of 2023. The autonomous bus service in Nahariya is scheduled for initial roll-out for testing purposes at the end of the second quarter of 2023. Autonomous Driving is Ready for Prime Time "We are pleased to meet the challenge to operate the first autonomous buses on public roads in Israel," states Eran Ofir, CEO of Imagry. "It is a testament to the viability of our mapless system, which enables the vehicle to respond to traffic signs, road conditions, stationary obstacles, and pedestrians in real time, just like a human driver would. It is also a strong vote of confidence in our capabilities overall." Visit https://www.imagry.co End
