Most people’s 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 on the car itself . It 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 operate on their own . While other companies are combining sensors , sensors , cameras , 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 drive faster . So far , the start - up has raised $ 12 m in venture capital from Oriza Ventures and other unnamed investors .
