Top Distributed Systems Startups in 2027

Based in Silicon Valley, Plus.ai was founded in 2016 by a group of Stanford PhD classmates who saw the strong potential of artificial intelligence to make a big impact on business and society. With trucking being the primary means of shipping in America, the founders decided to focus on self-driving technology to transform the trillion-dollar commercial trucking industry. Plus.ai is one of the most advanced autonomous trucking companies today in terms of technological progress and were the first to obtain California’s Autonomous Testing License. The company has since been working on improving the robustness and safety of its fully functional Level-4 autonomous trucks. Plus.ai closely collaborates with the largest OEMs to build self-driving trucks that are safer than human-operated vehicles. The company operates a fleet of autonomous trucks in pilot programs with the top freight shipping companies.

However, most companies see cloud video security as the future and want to move to the cloud. Coram provides a modern cloud software interface for video security that works with any IP camera and takes only 10 minutes to deploy. With Coram, a user can type what they are looking for, and Coram analyses all the recorded data to find it in seconds. Coram AI is live today with multiple large and mid-size enterprises and customers prefer Coram over traditional video security systems like Cisco Meraki, Avigilon, and Eagle Eye Networks.
