News Summary:
Beamr is scheduled to exhibit at the Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo from June 23-25, 2026, in Stuttgart, Germany, where it will discuss the requirements for ML-safe compression across the AV pipeline. This follows an exclusive AAVI feature first published in April 2026, which emphasized the critical need for compression in the autonomous vehicle industry. Previously, on April 21, 2026, Beamr announced a 31% file size reduction on footage from dSPACE RTMaps using its ML-safe compression, a technology validated on April 20, 2026, for dSPACE data logging. This validation aims to mitigate challenges posed by the terabytes of multi-camera video data generated by AV fleets, which can strain storage and slow development. Earlier in April, on April 16, 2026, Beamr broadened its focus to include perceptual quality as a service, questioning the reliability of objective metrics like PSNR, SSIM, and VMAF in accurately reflecting human visual experience. This initiative was preceded by the April 10, 2026, launch of Beamr VISTA, a tool enabling video teams to conduct large-scale subjective quality testing with real viewers, producing verified results without the operational overhead of traditional methods. Beamr plans to demonstrate VISTA at NAB 2026 by validating NVIDIA RTX Video Super Resolution AI quality enhancement.
