Who are we?
Our team is the first in the world to use autonomous vehicles on public roads using end-to-end deep learning. With our multi-national, world-class technical team, we’re building things differently.
We don’t think it’s scalable to instruct an algorithm on how to drive through hand-coded rules and expensive HD maps. Instead, we believe that leveraging experience and data can make our algorithms more intelligent, enabling them to easily adapt to new environments.
Our goal is to be the future of self-driving cars: the first to launch in 100 cities all over the globe bringing autonomy to everyone everywhere.
