Lvl5 builds advanced computer vision software and crowdsourced HD maps to support autonomous vehicle deployment. The company created a dashcam app, Payver, to collect mapping data from drivers and pays $0.01–$0.05 per mile. Its founders include former Tesla Autopilot engineers and a computer vision engineer from iRobot, providing team experience in autonomy and perception. Lvl5 says it is working with many Uber and Lyft drivers who run the dashcam app throughout the day. The company also has existing pilots with major OEMs that will pay an initial fee to install the system into vehicles. These activities are positioned to enable mass production of autonomous vehicles by scaling data collection and map generation.
