Sony Semiconductor is teaming up with San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan's office, the tinyML Foundation and San Jose's Department of Transportation to launch a global traffic safety hackathon. The hope for the collaboration is to utilize community ideas on how to use "tiny machine learning's AI software" in cameras to capture quantitative data, not physical images, regarding the presence of pedestrians throughout the city in a project called Vision Zero which aims to reduce pedestrian deaths in the city down to zero.
