Laplace Intelligence red-teams robots and self-driving cars before they hit the real world

Robots and self-driving software are usually tested against fixed scenarios, but real streets throw up stranger situations. Laplace Intelligence builds simulated environments from real map and Street View data, then lets AI agents hunt for failure cases, like adding afternoon traffic to a reconstructed highway. The University of Michigan spinout says the goal is to expose failures in simulation first.
