Limerick’s Provizio showcases car safety tech at CES Las Vegas

Provizio is gearing up to take autonomous driving mainstream by aiming to make its 5D Perception technology as ubiquitous as seat belts.

Founded in 2019 by former Arralis CEO Barry Lunn, Provizio has developed a five-dimensional perception system called 5D Perception that it claims can continually see, track and interpret vehicular behaviour and identify roadway elements – even during bad weather conditions.

“The real key to this technology achieving mass adoption is the ability for it to be implemented at scale,” Lunn added. “On any one day, Provizio and our partners are testing on roads in Shannon and Palo Alto, in German cornfields, down Pittsburgh mines or scooting in Stockholm.”
