epilog··on Sherpa – self-driving AI for your car
CTO of Epilog here!

We built Sherpa on top of openpilot, an open source framework for self-driving cars. The original developer (comma.ai) is shipping it on a LeEco cell phone in a case.

We designed a system with a discrete GPU and 8K optics. Jabil (the manufacturer of Apple's AirPods) helped us make it automotive grade and is handling manufacturing. We're training certified mechanics to install Sherpa in under 30 minutes. It's reliable, user-friendly, and safe.

I'll be around to answer any questions.

epilog··on Chroma – a new way to build cameras
The technique you're referring to is aligning sensors over each other, each collecting a different color so you don't have to use a bayer filter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-CCD_camera). Chroma aligns multiple image sensors next to each other, to scale the resolution without increasing chip complexity. For instance, we can merge 4 4K sensors to create an ultra low cost 8K camera.
