Yaak Technologies UG: When the student becomes the master: driver coaching platform and AI data collector Yaak raises 7.3 million

Berlin-based driver coaching platform Yaak has raised €7.3 million in a new funding round in order to further its ambitions of improving the safety of human drivers in order to build safer self-driving vehicles. Yaak has developed a proprietary safety platform, SafetyOS, which trains and tests drivers on the road and provides realistic simulations via virtual reality. Initially working in tandem with driving schools, driving instructors first demonstrate to the AI best driving practices in a number of real-world and VR-based simulations. From here, Yaak equipped cars can be used by driving students to complete self-guided virtual driving lessons. "We won't see omnipresent AV's before they are proven better than 95% percentile human drivers.
