Helm.ai Announces Level 3 Urban Perception System With ISO 26262 Components
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Helm.ai, a leading provider of advanced AI software for high-end ADAS, autonomous driving, and robotics automation, today announced Helm.ai Vision, a production-grade urban perception system designed for Level 2+ and Level 3 autonomous driving in mass-market vehicles. Helm.ai Vision delivers accurate, reliable, and comprehensive perception, providing automakers with a scalable and cost-effective solution for urban driving.
Assessed by UL Solutions, Helm.ai has achieved ASPICE Capability Level 2 for its engineering processes and has been certified to meet ISO 26262 ASIL-B(D) requirements for components of its perception system delivered as Software Safety Elements out of Context (SEooC) for Level 2+ systems. The ASIL-B(D) certification confirms that these SEooC components can be integrated into production-grade vehicle systems as outlined in the safety manual, while ASPICE Level 2 reflects Helm.ai's structured and controlled software development practices.
Built using Helm.ai's proprietary Deep Teaching™ technology, Helm.ai Vision delivers advanced surround view perception that alleviates the need for HD maps and Lidar sensors for up to Level 2+ systems, and enables up to Level 3 autonomous driving. Deep Teaching™ uses large-scale unsupervised learning from real-world driving data, reducing reliance on costly, manually labeled datasets. The system handles the complexities of urban driving across several international regions, including dense traffic, varied road geometries, and complex pedestrian and vehicle behavior. It performs real-time 3D object detection, full-scene semantic segmentation, and multi-camera surround-view fusion, enabling the self-driving vehicle to interpret its surroundings with high precision.
Additionally, Helm.ai Vision generates a bird's-eye view (BEV) representation by fusing multi-camera input into a unified spatial map. This BEV representation is critical for improving the downstream performance of the intent prediction and planning modules.
Helm.ai Vision is modular by design and is optimized for deployment on leading automotive hardware platforms, including Nvidia, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Ambarella. Importantly, since Helm.ai Vision has already been validated for mass production and is fully compatible with the end-to-end (E2E) Helm.ai Driver path planning stack, it enables reduced validation effort and increased interpretability to streamline production deployments of full stack AI software.
'Robust urban perception, which culminates in the BEV fusion task, is the gatekeeper of advanced autonomy,' said Vladislav Voroninski, CEO and founder of Helm.ai. 'Helm.ai Vision addresses the full spectrum of perception tasks required for high end Level 2+ and Level 3 autonomous driving on production-grade embedded systems, enabling automakers to deploy a vision-first solution with high accuracy and low latency. Starting with Helm.ai Vision, our modular approach to the autonomy stack substantially reduces validation effort and increases interpretability, making it uniquely suited for nearterm mass market production deployment in software defined vehicles.'

MSCI Announces the Results of the MSCI 2025 Global Market Accessibility Review
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI), a leading provider of critical decision support tools and services for the global investment community, announced today the results of the MSCI 2025 Global Market Accessibility Review. The detailed report, covering market accessibility assessments for 86 markets, has been made available on Bulgaria is not included in the MSCI 2025 Global Market Accessibility Review report released today. Information for this market will be made available on June 24, 2025, concurrent with the MSCI 2025 Annual Market Classification Review announcement. As a reminder, Bulgaria is under review for potential reclassification from Standalone Market status to Frontier Market status. Key takeaways: There were more improvements than deteriorations in market accessibility ratings. A significant portion of those improvements are attributed to developments in Market Infrastructure across Emerging and Frontier Markets. The MSCI Global Market Accessibility Review aims to assess and track the evolution of accessibility in individual markets, and to inform market authorities about areas that global institutional investors perceive as not meeting international standards and would welcome improvements. Consistent with prior years, the MSCI 2025 Global Market Accessibility Review provides a detailed assessment of market accessibility for each equity market included in the MSCI Indexes and evaluates the following five market accessibility criteria: Openness to foreign ownership Ease of capital inflows/outflows Efficiency of the operational framework Availability of investment instruments Stability of the institutional framework These five criteria reflect areas that international institutional investors generally place strong emphasis on when evaluating investment accessibility of a market, including equal treatment of investors, free flow of capital, cost of investment, unrestrictive use of stock market data, and market-specific risk. MSCI uses 18 distinct accessibility measures to assess these five criteria, described in detail in the MSCI 2025 Global Market Accessibility Review report. Market accessibility, along with economic development and size and liquidity, determine classification of markets into Developed, Emerging, Frontier and Standalone Markets. The classification of markets is a key input in the process of index construction as it determines the composition of the investment opportunity sets to be represented. The results of the MSCI 2025 Annual Market Classification Review will be announced on June 24, 2025.
