SAN FRANCISCO Pearl Automation, a Silicon Valley start-up founded by former Apple employees who tried to combine Apples dedication to quality with a more open corporate culture, has gone out of business.The three-year-old company, whoch closed its doors last week, made $500 automotive backup cameras that transmitted data wirelessly to the drivers smartphone. The devices were simple to install and were aimed at the tens of millions of older vehicles without preinstalled backup cameras. But the devices proved too expensive in a market with less elegant but cheaper alternatives.We ran out of money, said Bryson Gardner, Pearls chief executive. We were probably two years ahead of our time.
