The automotive industry is under pressure to develop advanced AI capabilities for vehicles, but many projects struggle due to blindspots in their AI development process. These blindspots can lead to model failures, data issues, and slow progress. To overcome these challenges, it's essential to connect data and models in the AI process, making it possible for teams to refine their models and applications together with their data. A solution like FiftyOne Teams can help simplify and automate how AI builders explore, manage, visualize, and curate visual data and models, enabling teams to accelerate time to delivery for new capabilities and improvements. By bridging the gap between data and models, teams can identify and address blindspots, leading to faster success and more reliable AI systems.
