The Raspberry Pi is much more than a hobbyist's board. After more than a decade, it's not uncommon to find them in professional environments and even in commercial products like Velo AI's Copilot device. This gadget attaches to your bike to make it a "smart bike," thanks to a bit of help from our favorite SBC.
The founders behind Velo AI, Clarke Haynes and Micol Marchetti-Bowick, recently interviewed with Raspberry Pi, who shared some exclusive details about the development of Copilot. Initially, the team wanted to use Nvidia Jetson boards, but it quickly became obvious that a Raspberry Pi would be cost-effective while providing just enough power to handle the AI workload. It also helps that the Pi works in tandem with a Hailo AI co-processor.
