Surround was built by a team of technology and data science veterans with decades of experience. Some were key architects of Amazon Web Services, Windows, Internet Explorer, gmail login, MSN Messenger, as well as developers of big data frameworks that power Bing and Azure.
Xevo’s news release says that Surround “has been developing an industrial-scale machine learning infrastructure with a specific focus on applying computer vision to automotive scenarios and enabling vast numbers of cars to share information and act cooperatively.”
