Ask HN: Startups working on Hard tech problems?
Hey, I wanted to find examples of startups working on challenging tech problems, perhaps the ones you don't hear about too often.
I don't mean to put down other startups here obviously, I'd be a food to do so, considering the value that these companies add in our daily lives.
But, I wanted to find examples of companies that are trying to tap to sectors that haven't been tapped into yet and are innovating with technology instead of just enabling the industry with technology or companies that truly have a technology based IP instead of an operational IP , which can be focused purely on one sector only.
Thanks!

I do believe we can honestly improve rider situational awareness and safety too, so we will be saving lives.
- isstiaung 11y agoHey that's a pretty awesome product! Can definitely see the need for it, especially in developing countries where motorcycles are incredibly prominent, maybe not at that price point though. But, love the product!
