Utilizing Unikie’s autonomous vehicle development and automated driving for testing and developing, Sfara has shortened the time-to-market on its mobile safety solution, which offers 24/7/365 AI coverage for detecting crash situations. The solution and the technology have been already adopted by one of the world’s largest luxury automotive manufacturers and showcased in their spearhead production vehicle. In the selection of development partner for mobile safety, the automotive manufacturer conducted a rigorous evaluation and testing program of mobile solution providers in the market, seeking a technology that stands up to its standards. As a part of Sfara’s development network, Unikie played a part in offering development knowledge and technology to reassure the end client. Unikie’s pioneering work around machine learning, machine vision, realtime process management and secure connectivity are also valuable in creating secure, safe and reliable solutions in the future.
