The State of AV Data 2027
The first map of the autonomous-vehicle data pipeline, built from the people who run it.
What the first edition will answer

- Off the car
How does that data actually leave the vehicle?
- In storage
How much of what's stored is ever used again?
- On the bill
Where does the money go: storing, moving or processing?
- Into the model
How do teams know a change didn't hurt their models?
- CES 2027
