About Barry Prioste

Since 2016 I have been working in the Autonomous Vehicle industry. I create High Definition Maps and Medium Definition Maps used to guide autonomous vehicles. In addition to the mapping work, I use my visual/design skills to create instructional materials and train data labelers (both local and overseas) on the mapping work for developing self driving car technology. While at Cruise I ran a team of four direct reports creating and maintaining the training materials for both the mapping and machine learning teams.I am also a professional artist providing Character Design, Illustration, 2D Game Art, 2D Animation, and Art Direction.
