These former Apple engineers are building a whole bunch of cool car tech - here's their first product
Kif Leswing/Business Insider
Pearl is the name of the startup, and RearVision is its first product. It's a backup camera and alert system that's easy to install. It's basically a license plate frame with two cameras.
Those cameras sync to your phone, either through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. So start the Pearl app on your phone, and you'll see what's behind you as you back up your car.
Pearl's CEO, Bryson Gardner, was one of the key people behind several Apple products, including the iPod Nano, and his team at Pearl has over 50 former Apple employees. He tells me the rear-view camera is only the first of a set of computerized accessories for your car that the company is currently building.
