What are some hard mostly unsolved software challenges currently

Question

I came across this article about Polygon Geofencing [0] on iOS and Android which isn't built-in thus requiring a custom solution by the author's company. I was wondering if despite the proliferation of open source software there are still areas that are largely overlooked/underserved.[0] https://transistorsoft.medium.com/polygon-geofencing-d99169a90538

An unsolved software challenge I&rsquo;ve noticed being discussed on HN is the difficulty in creating a competitive alternative to Nvidia&rsquo;s CUDA and the rest of its toolchain. Intel and AMD making strides, but nothing substantial so far. I understand that this is an incredibly difficult problem, especially considering the significant investment Nvidia has made over time, which can&rsquo;t be matched overnight

I hear high accuracy for indoor navigation on Android is still a challenge. Something like https://github.com/AndrewHartAR/ARKit-CoreLocation (outdated?). It's more a framework/SDK, not a product, and those companies who have good SDKs keep the logic to themselves.
