AI-powered ADAS and AD systems are getting more complex with every iteration. New sensors, higher resolution cameras and increasingly sophisticated deep learning algorithms have substantial computational requirements. Traditionally, they have relied on compute resources in the cloud. But as systems get more advanced, relying on the cloud alone carries significant risk to systems that are supposed to work in real time under significant cost, space and power constraints. So how do we deal with this reality?

Enter Edge AI. An elegant solution that helps process part of the input from various sensors locally, rather than in the cloud. In other words, ‘at the edge’. 

In this episode of the AI in Automotive podcast, we are joined by Orr Danon, CEO of Hailo Technologies, a company that is bringing powerful edge AI solutions to the automotive industry. Hailo’s technology and processor have the capability to process several high-resolution video inputs in real time with low latency, without impacting the accuracy of the algorithm.

Orr and I dig deeper into what exactly edge AI is, what advantages it delivers and what its relevance is to ADAS and AD systems. We also talk about the future of autonomous driving, and discuss how the levels of autonomy might evolve in the future. 

I hope you enjoy our chat today as much as I did recording it with Orr. If you do, do give our podcast a shout on your social media, or share a link with your friends and colleagues.

AI in Automotive Podcast


Hosted by Jayesh Jagasia, AI in Automotive Podcast is a series of conversations that go beyond the headlines and technical specifications. It focuses on the human stories and strategic decisions driving this transformation. Each episode brings you directly into dialogue with the innovators, engineers, and business leaders who are applying artificial intelligence to redefine everything from vehicle design and manufacturing to energy management and how we move. The discussions are grounded in real-world applications, exploring the commercial and marketing implications of these technologies as much as the engineering breakthroughs. You’ll hear about the challenges and opportunities at this unique crossroads of automotive, energy, and tech. This podcast provides a clear-eyed look at how AI is being integrated right now, making complex topics accessible and relevant for anyone interested in the business of tomorrow's mobility. It’s an essential listen for understanding the practical forces shaping the industry's future.
