Autonomous vehicle software developer Imagry is debuting the latest version of its mapless platform at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES’19) Jan. 8-11. Imagery’s solution uses an approach that requires neither a map nor a cloud connection, aiming to allow the market for autonomous vehicles to scale and commercialize more rapidly, and at less cost.

Imagry’s platform works to identify roads, routes, vehicles, obstructions and pedestrians. Trained by an in-house developed simulator, the software’s Aleph Star algorithm uses physics-based planning to compensate for perception errors in real-time. “Imagry is pioneering a real-time mapless driving solution that provides a more efficient alternative to the marketplace,” said Imagry Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Adham Ghazali. “As of now, the only way to enable a driverless vehicle outside of Imagry’s technology is to map every road the vehicle can possibly drive on. We see our mapless technology as the future of autonomous vehicles, and we’re proud to be leading the way.”

Imagry is currently testing its vehicle platform in Phoenix, Rawabi, Israel, and its U.S. headquarters in Tempe, Arizona.
