HD maps for self-driving cars
We build high-definition maps designed specifically for autonomous trucks and self-driving vehicles. Our maps provide detailed, up-to-date road information that standard navigation systems lack, improving vehicle perception and safety in complex driving environments.
We live in San Francisco, CA and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
San Francisco is where the autonomous vehicle ecosystem is centered. Being here lets us work closely with industry partners and access technical talent familiar with self-driving technology.
