AIMotive, a Budapest-based startup that recently changed its name from AdasWorks, is revolutionizing self-driving car technology. Rather than putting all their energy into covering autonomous miles and sifting through data, which is what Tesla and Google are doing, AImotive has created a game engine that let’s the company’s software drive a simulated car for testing purposes. This allows the car to be tested at all times without risking a human driver’s life. The best part about this startup’s journey to self-driving glory is that they’re not tying it to a single hardware configuration. AImotive has focused on the software side of self-driving cars, which will allow a wide range of vehicles to adopt the tech. AImotive’s methodology has become a bit of a trend in recent months for tech companies. Rather than attempt to create an entire product on their own, many startups have decided to create DIY softwares that can be used in any setup. And with technology becoming more and more complicated every day, the more inclusion the better. Photo: Flickr / smoothgroover22
