A Dubai startup is testing the performance of self-driving vehicles in Las Vegas

Derq, a startup company within the “in5” incubator specialized in the field of artificial intelligence, announced that it has signed a first-of-its-kind partnership with the leader in self-driving technology, Motional, with the aim of testing how autonomous vehicles with smart infrastructure perform in a city. American Las Vegas.

Dirk is an artificial intelligence company based in Dubai and Detroit, whose idea originated in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and specializes in video analytics that supports and enhances the future of roads to achieve safe and efficient movement of road users and self-driving vehicles, and is at the forefront of the use of artificial intelligence and “vehicle-” technology to-Everything" that enables the car to communicate with everything around it.

Dirk said in a statement today, that its award-winning infrastructure visualization system will provide an immediate comprehensive view of the roads for Motion's self-driving vehicles.

She added that the cameras placed over the complex and crowded Las Vegas intersections that witness a great deal of pedestrian, cyclist and vehicle intersections will be connected to the artificial intelligence systems of Dirk, which in turn will transmit live data to the Motional vehicles.

Dirk's technology can also detect and alert road operators about serious traffic accidents not related to autonomous vehicles, such as collisions and drivers taking the wrong road.

Thus, Dirk's technology can provide better visibility into road safety hotspots and send this information to autonomous vehicles and road operators to improve guidance, design and planning capabilities.
