Podcast 384: Can AI solve car accidents and find you a parking space?
Maybe cars won't drive you home, but with AI and crowdsourcing, maybe they can avoid driving us crazy.
In this episode, we chat with Eran Shir, CEO of Nexar, a company that provides smart dashcams. Using machine learning and the power of crowdsourcing, Nexar aims to help everyone drive smarter without sacrificing privacy.
Show notes
Graybeard conference alert! Eran and Ryan both started their technology journeys on the venerable Commodore 64.
During his academic days, Eran helped to map all the BGP (background gateway protocol) gateways in the world. This got a fair bit of press recently during the six hour Facebook outage.
Nexar provides smart dashcams and an app that help cars understand the roads around them.
While networked cameras on every car could be a privacy nightmare, Nexar says that they have privacy as a foundational part of the SDLC.

There is no AI. Let alone an “AI” that can’t be fooled by simple pixels to thinking Dog as cat. What we have is hype from “Felon” Musk.
It’s nonsense. If car makers and oil companies cared about people’s lives, they would of had supported more bills for building trains. With more trains, there will be less cars and less chance for accidents. Trains are generally safer. But no, that interferes with their profit.
AI cant even figure out that I delete and unsubscribe from every single Minecraft video that gets recommended to me on YouTube, let alone do anything of any importance, like protect you from a car accident
