Congratulations on your launch! I think this space is going to be super interesting and allowing companies to build products like this by simply adding an API t

  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.

  Interesting. I didn't know about scale. How would someone figure out that these tools are needed by so and so companies => let's provide APIs. I was of the idea that all the self driving startups have their own people solving these challenges. Why would anyone use scale?

    It's really a matter of productivity. Creating training sets of data is a labor intensive process. It may not be worth the cost to do so, if they can outsource that work instead.
