We are a startup that develops autonomous driving solutions for geo-fenced areas. We already completed several projects at parking garages, factories and exhibitions and have a lot more projects in the pipeline. This is an example of our solution: Vehicles Could Soon Be Driving Themselves Off The Production Line at Ford’s Cologne EV Centre. Our Implementation Team is mainly based out of Berlin in a very nice and comfortable work mobility hub, but remote work is possible. We are looking for people that help us ensure the functional safety of our products and that are willing to bring their ideas to the table to achieve something the entire automotive industry is currently looking for – level 4 autonomous driving based on artificial intelligence (AI).
