Helm.ai advances self-driving tech with new vision system
a startup backed by Honda, has unveiled a new camera-based system named Vision, designed to interpret complex urban environments for self-driving cars. collaboration with Honda will see its system featured in the 2026 Honda Zero series of electric vehicles, promising a hands-free driving experience where users can safely divert their attention away from the road. The company said, it is also negotiating with various automakers for the integration its technology into mass-market vehicles. CEO and founder Vladislav Voroninski was quoted by Reuters as saying: "We're definitely in talks with many OEMs and we're on track for deploying our technology in production. "Our business model is essentially licensing this kind of software and also Foundation model software to the automakers." The California-based company's vision-first strategy is akin to that of Tesla, which also prioritises cameras over other sensors like Lidar and radar to mitigate additional costs. Despite this, industry specialists argue that supplementary sensors are essential for safety, providing redundancy for cameras that may falter in low-visibility conditions. Companies operating robotaxis, such as Waymo and May Mobility, employ a mix of radar, lidar, and cameras to navigate their environment. which has raised $102m in funding, counts Goodyear Ventures, Sungwoo HiTech, and Amplo among its investors. Vision synthesises imagery from multiple cameras to generate a comprehensive bird's-eye view map, enhancing the vehicle's decision-making and control mechanisms. The system is tailored for compatibility with various hardware platforms from companies such as Nvidia and Qualcomm. This adaptability allows car manufacturers to seamlessly integrate Vision into their vehicles' existing systems, which are already equipped with proprietary technologies for predicting and planning vehicle movements.

Honda-backed Helm.ai unveils vision system for self-driving cars
Honda Motor-backed on Thursday unveiled its camera-based system to interpret urban environments, dubbed Vision, and said it was in talks with other carmakers to deploy its self-driving technology in mass market vehicles. is working with the Japanese carmaker to integrate its technology in the upcoming 2026 Honda Zero electric vehicles, which will allow users to drive hands-free and take their eyes off the road. "We're definitely in talks with many OEMs and we're on track for deploying our technology in production," CEO and founder Vladislav Voroninski told Reuters. "Our business model is essentially licensing this kind of software and also foundation model software to the carmakers." The California-based startup's vision-first approach aligns with Elon Musk's Tesla, which also relies on camera-based systems as alternate sensors such as lidar and radar can increase costs. However, Voroninski said while has foundation models that work with other sensors, its primary offering remains vision-focused. Industry experts said other sensors are critical to safety as they can act as backup for cameras, which are known to underperform in low-visibility conditions. Robotaxi companies such as Alphabet's Waymo and May Mobility use a combination of radar, lidar and cameras to perceive their surroundings. has raised $102m (R1,839,466,847) to date and counts Goodyear Ventures, Korean car parts maker Sungwoo HiTech and Amplo among its investors. Vision combines images from many cameras to create a bird's-eye view map, which helps improve the vehicle's planning and control systems, the company said. The system is optimised for several hardware platforms made by Nvidia and Qualcomm. This enables carmakers to incorporate Vision into their existing vehicle systems, which include their own technologies for predicting and planning vehicle movements.
