Congratulations to our portfolio company Helm.ai on the launch of Helm.ai Vision, a production-grade perception system designed to support Level 2+ and Level 3 autonomous driving in mass-market vehicles.
Helm.ai Vision offers a robust, scalable, and cost-effective solution for urban driving, providing real-time 3D object detection, semantic segmentation, and multi-camera surround-view fusion without the need for HD maps or Lidar. The system is built on Helm.ai’s proprietary Deep Teaching™ technology, which utilizes large-scale unsupervised learning to interpret complex driving environments across international regions.
Validated for mass production and optimized for leading automotive hardware platforms—including Nvidia, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Ambarella—Helm.ai Vision enables automakers to accelerate the deployment of vision-first autonomy solutions with high accuracy and low latency.
Notably, Helm.ai has achieved ASPICE Capability Level 2 and ISO 26262 ASIL-B(D) certification for components of its perception system, reflecting the company’s commitment to safety and high engineering standards.
We are proud to support Helm.ai in its mission to enable scalable autonomy through innovative AI software. Their continued progress exemplifies the type of transformative technology Honda Xcelerator Ventures is committed to fostering.
