Derq Technology first in Vegas

Derq, an award-winning MIT-spinoff powering the future of roads for the safer and more efficient movement of traffic, is partnering with Motional’s driverless vehicles to test how driverless technology reacts when given an even broader perspective using Derq’s innovative AI road solutions. The revolutionary “bird’s eye view” pilot will be deployed in Las Vegas this Spring.

The Implementation
Derq and Motional are launching the pilot at two high-traffic intersections in Las Vegas. The intersections were selected for their complexity that includes:

• Significant pedestrian and cyclist lanes and crossings
• Challenging sight lines due to trees and/or signs
• Complex vehicle interactions among multiple lanes of traffic

Derq and Motional share a common goal – creating safer roads with innovative technology to reduce the amount of accidents and accident-related deaths on the road.
