SiaSearch

Seed Round in 2019
Driven by digitalisation, ADAS and automated driving, automotive companies face one of their biggest challenges yet: the amount of data they are collecting is exploding. Most organisations use less than 5% of what they collect, are not able not commercialise their most valuable asset and instead waste millions on excess storage. To address this challenge, we have developed SiaSearch the category-leading search engine for petabyte-scale automotive data. Our technology automatically structures raw sensor data based on semantic attributes and keywords such as cut-ins, crowded intersections or dangerous overtaking. This metadata is powerful. By searching it, we can eliminate the time wasted on manual data crawling, automate the decision of what data to store and provide intelligent suggestions of what data would be most valuable to collect. With SiaSearch we are helping our customers to build smaller, higher density data sets. This does not just fast track their development but enables them to commercialise their data as an asset.
