Discoperi Inc. is a Ukrainian-based automotive startup company with a headquarter in Madrid, Spain. It was founded in 2016 and is developing a smart device for cars — System “Eye” — an intelligent IoT device based on AI algorithms, big data, and blockchain network. It is designed as a video control system that recognizes all participants on the roads, understands the surroundings and notifies drivers on unusual behavior and possible collisions.

About System “Eye”

The System “Eye” consists of three fundamental components: an on-board IoT device, AI algorithms and a protocol that connects all devices into a single network (DCNV).

The device can be installed on the windshield of any vehicle in order to identify and parse data such as road situations, vehicles characteristics, and status, driving behavior, and transfer it to the Cloud.

Core characteristics of the device:

• 8Mp IR camera 1200 front view
• Full HD
• High speed connection (100+ MB) ~250g
• GPU with 256 cores Figure 9 – System “Eye”

To support the data transfer and exchange, Discoperi has also developed a Fast Short Message Protocol (FSMP).

Discoperi is to create a fully cycled automotive ecosystem with drivers in its center. Driver-centric partnerships include automotive OEMs, fleet management, insurance companies, law enforcement agencies, and municipalities.

History

In May 2016, the Discoperi's R&D core team started working on the first product prototype and a few months later the first product prototype with deep-learning algorithms was delivered.

In early 2017, the company has been approved as an Associate Member of Khube (KPMG Hub for Entrepreneurs). At the same time, the team has developed a Fast Short Message Protocol (FSMP) to support the data transfer and exchange across the community in less than a second.

Later on, Discoperi launched the first deployment of System “Eye” in Madrid and started shooting roads to educate AI algorithms. Engaging with taxi fleet, Discoperi started collecting data required for the pilot roll-out.

EQT Ventures took Discoperi as a project and at this point System “Eye” prototype could already recognize cars.

In November 2017, System “Eye” was showcased to Ford Motor Company management team. It received very positive feedback from Ford’s focus groups (9 out of 10 people would like to use System “Eye” daily).

At the end of 2017, Discoperi has decided to change the focus towards blockchain and distributed community to ensure data protection and independence. Since then, the R&D team has been expanded and began its work on developing blockchain network based on Ethereum protocol.

By May 2018, Discoperi has completed the White Paper and secured initial ICO funding from a prominent crypto fund.

In June 2018, Discoperi has opened a new R&D office in Kiev, Ukraine.

In September 2018, Discoperi has presented the first prototype of System "Eye" at TechCrunch Disrupt. By the end of the year, Discoperi is planning to finish System “Eye” beta version.
