Sherpa: Retrofit your car with self-driving AI.

Epilog first got started making human-vision quality cameras for the smart cities industry, but we started to feel like the biggest problem we wanted to solve was sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the 880 every day. We had already built a prototype low-cost 8K camera using our Chroma [1] technology and stuck it on a minivan with OpenPilot, an open source driving agent for cars with ACC (adaptive cruise control) and LKAS (lane keeping assist). Using our custom vision pipeline and AI, we found we could improve the unreliable performance of OpenPilot to a solution that drove perfectly. Today Epilog is announcing Sherpa: a windshield mounted device that drives your car. Sherpa is a totally custom system with an 8K camera that sees the road as a human does; it has the resolution to recognize stop signs and traffic lights, yield to pedestrians crossing the street, and move over for bikers. We're raising money on SeedInvest [2] and accepting reservations today! [1] https://www.epilog.com/news/intr... [2] https://www.seedinvest.com/epilo...
