You don't need an AI for that. Look up opencv.

Ironically, this sounds like a great job for OpenCV.

Anyone have any ideas on the computer vision techniques used here?

Just spin up a good computer vision algorithm!

Errr, what? This project uses huge neural nets for detection, nothing like that is available in OpenCV. I think they only use OpenCV for IO (accessing webcams etc).

Doesnt it use vision on camera feed? should be enough.

gnarbarian Sep 27, 2013 View on HN

OpenCV plus a ton of training data should do the trick.

computer vision things these days.

What could Uber and Lyft be using OpenCV for?

How good would this be for computer vision applications?
