About the Team

The Connectivity Edge AI team owns the software in the vehicle that moves and makes sense of vehicle data. Our work covers broadly these areas:

• On-device AI. Running voice detection, speech and other ML models directly on vehicle compute so features keep working when the network does not.

• Vehicle data collection - The upload and retrieval path for large payloads such as camera clips and ADAS recordings, including throughput, reliability, and cost over Wi-Fi and cellular.

• Connected features
