So I'm not, I'm not a car fanatic.

I'm not a huge believer in new startups that build stuff, driving cars.

I think it's really hard to compete with the giants.

But if you look at the vision advances that have been made there, they've been amazing.

And so could we apply that instead of to controlling cars, could we use that to control computers themselves?

Think of your screen.

It has all these pixels.

You're looking at your browser and all this text.

And if you applied the same algorithms that your self-driving car is using to your screen, it performs remarkably.

It's actually a lot easier.

It's very high quality.

What does that mean?

So let's say you're, you know, you have your browser open and you're looking at like a LinkedIn page, right?

And you're scrolling down.

If you had one of these vision techniques that are being applied, you know, with your car, those reading stop signs that are far away and fuzzy and has bird poop on it, it's much harder, but it's still able to identify those things.

If you take that capability and apply it to your screen,

And we know exactly what's going on, right?

Because the resolution is so high.

And so we can understand the text really well.

OCR accuracy is improved dramatically.
