Beamr Addresses Autonomous Vehicle Industry's Massive Data Storage Challenge with Compression Technology

The autonomous vehicle industry faces unprecedented data storage challenges as single vehicles generate terabytes of video data daily, with training models requiring hundreds of petabytes of content, creating immense strain on machine learning pipelines and infrastructure budgets.

Beamr (NASDAQ: BMR) is addressing these critical challenges for the fast-growing autonomous vehicle and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems industry, demonstrating 20%-50% storage and networking savings over existing machine learning workflows without compromising model accuracy. The company's technology is particularly relevant given that over 80 autonomous vehicle companies currently have test vehicles on the road.

Sharon Carmel, founder and CEO of Beamr, stated that the company is encouraged by the progress made with their autonomous vehicle offering, indicating that Beamr technology is applicable to fast-growing markets like the autonomous vehicle sector. The company aims to be the best video compression service for artificial intelligence applications.

Beamr leverages its Emmy Award-winning Content-Adaptive Bitrate technology, backed by 53 patents and trusted by leading media and technology companies, to address the urgent need for efficient video data operations in autonomous vehicle and machine learning workflows. The technology optimizes video compression on a frame-by-frame basis based on perceptual relevance.

Originally developed to align with human visual perception, the technology has been adapted to support machine learning perception, ensuring that critical visual cues such as lane markings, traffic signs, and road textures are preserved during compression. This preservation of visual fidelity is essential for machine learning safety in autonomous driving applications.

Beamr's team of video and artificial intelligence experts partners with companies facing large-scale video data challenges in the autonomous vehicle sector and beyond. Through tailored solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing machine learning workflows, Beamr delivers operational efficiency and acceleration, enabling customers to achieve their performance and investment goals.

The company's flexible deployment options include on-premises, private or public cloud solutions, with convenient availability for Amazon Web Services and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customers. Beamr's technology represents a significant advancement in addressing the data economics challenges that have become a major roadblock in the race to build fully autonomous vehicles.
