The Spark of Inspiration
It all began with a seemingly ordinary evening for Mark Pittman. Leaving the University of Utah campus one night, he found himself stuck at a traffic light. As many of us have experienced, he pondered why the red light wasn’t turning green, leading him to question the intricate web of infrastructure that facilitates our daily mobility. This moment of reflection prompted him to ask, “What can I do to help?” It was the ignition for the creation of Blyncsy.
From that moment, Mark and his team embarked on a journey to explore the potential of computer vision, machine learning, and AI technologies in revolutionizing the transportation system that we often take for granted. Their objective was clear: to enhance the safety and efficiency of the roads that enable the transportation of goods, food, and clothing – the very essence of our modern lives.
