3D Mapping Startup Carmera Launches

Autonomous vehicles need a constant data feed about their environment, in the form of 3D maps, to stay safe on the roads. Brooklyn-based 3D mapping startup Carmera just launched this week, after spending the last two years taking on the enormous task of mapping the streets of New York City with its LidAR mapping vehicles. Its goal is to gather real-time 3D mapping data that will be used by autonomous vehicle makers, but is accessible to anyone, from city planners and officials to architects and real estate developers. Carmera operates a visual network of road sensors that gather the 3D data, change detection, and analytics data for city streets, and just announced a $6.4 million round of Series A funding.
