Intelligent Vehicle
Operator
The race to achieve an autonomous vehicle is on. Leading companies such as Google, Mercedes-Benz, Ford and Volkswagen, are on their way to impact the market with autonomous cars. However, these cars are expensive, they do not offer a generic solution for existing vehicles, utility vehicles, buses, trucks, etc..
The Intelligent Vehicle Operator (IVO) provides a high tech, low cost, adaptive solution for these problems.
