Drive.ai, a start-up from Stanford's artificial intelligence lab, has entered the driverless car race. However, Drive.ai has said that it will only focus on the "brains of the car" rather than building the car itself. Drive.ai differs from all the other self-driving car companies in that it is using deep learning software, which has the ability to communicate and interact with humans, as well as allowing the computers to learn on their own. While other companies are combining sensors, LiDAR, Radar, high-resolution maps, and GPS in their technology to allow the car to locate itself, Drive.ai wants the car to deduce what's around it and react faster. The company says its cars can drive autonomously for up to an hour without any human intervention.
