Alex Israel, CEO of Metropolis, making the future of parking ticketless with computer vision!

Alex has made the future of parking checkout-free by using AI and computer vision. Earlier this year, he led Metropolis in a $1.8 billion financing and take-private of 100-year-old parking company, SP Plus. This deal made Metropolis the largest operator of parking networks in North America with thousands of locations. This unique model has made Metropolis both the operator and the technology provider with its state-of-the-art computer vision detection for ticketless parking. Metropolis' drive-in and drive-out technology is a real-world application of AI that removes the traditional pain points associated with the parking experience. The company's innovations have given so many people their time back, prevented the build-up of lines, and simply made the experience much more seamless. There is much talk about AI being applied to so many categories, and while some have materialized and some haven't, Metropolis has built a real solution that effects millions of people daily! Alex discusses his unique approach to scaling Metropolis’ AI and computer vision platform to thousands of locations across the country. He shares how the idea originated, how his previous parking technology experience helped him, and touches on the future goals toward the company's mission. He is one of the most impressive people in AI today and his journey is fascinating!
