The perception team at Zoox is the eyes and ears of our self-driving car. Navigating safely and competently in the world requires us to detect, classify, track, and understand several different attributes of all the objects around us that we might interact with, all in real-time and with very high precision. Computer vision is one of several redundant sensor modalities that we use in our perception stack.
