Thank you! Scale is doing great especially in the autonomous vehicles vertical. We are different in a few ways from Scale or other data annotation companies -- one, we really focus on building AI tools that can automate data annotation all the way from label proposals to quality control, and two, all annotations are done in-house without relying on any crowdsourced labor. We think it's difficult to guarantee quality with crowdsourced workers and we see this a lot with Amazon Mechanical Turks. We can do this because our AI tools give a huge speed boost and our in-house workers can go through the data a lot faster. And also, we also collect and provide raw data (limited to images at the moment) to companies that do not have their own.
