Helm.ai Aims to Streamline Self-Driving Development

Removing the human driver from behind the steering wheel may require removing the human being from the development lab. Helm.ai, a startup based in Menlo Park, Calif., that recently came out of stealth, seeks to dramatically reduce the bottlenecks in autonomous vehicle development cycles with an AI training method known as unsupervised learning. Like other advanced learning tools such as active learning, unsupervised learning takes an intelligent approach to training to lessen the burden on human annotators.
