Driverless Trucks, for real.
We are building autonomous trucks that drive themselves over long distances, allowing truck drivers to safely operate the vehicle remotely from a terminal near the highway exit, rather than being behind the wheel the entire trip. Our system handles the driving on highways autonomously, improving road safety and giving drivers a better quality of life by reducing time away from home.
We are currently based in San Francisco, and intend to remain here after YC.
San Francisco is the center of autonomous vehicle technology and startup talent. Being here gives us access to the right engineers, partners, and investors who understand the complexity of autonomous trucking.
