Our technology.

Camera-based perception software that decodes extreme environments, and gets smarter with every mile.

We combine computer vision and AI to enable every vehicle to see, understand and proactively prepare for the toughest of terrains ahead – both off-road and on it – so that drivers can go further, go faster, and stay safer.

Reactive

Today, vehicles are blind to terrain unless it’s already underneath their wheels.

Proactive

We enable vehicles to see what’s coming, and be ready for it. The possibilities are endless.

Terrain Intelligence

First-of-its-kind AI-driven terrain perception that allows drivers to focus fully on the path ahead, knowing that their vehicle is doing the same. Agile enough to fit the smallest vehicles, using conventional hardware.

Driving terrain insights with machine learning

  • Distinguish surface type (such as sand, gravel, grass and asphalt) and category (such as loose, hard-packed or wet sand)

  • Read and quantify surface wetness 

  • Scan for terrain shape and complex features 

  • Identify where obstacle height (and depth) and gradient angle are surmountable – and where they aren’t 

  • Read from mono or stereo cameras, radar or lidar, for compatibility with all types of vehicle

  • Run 75% of the feature set using a single onboard camera

  • Compute on-the-edge (onboard) and in real-time: no need for maps, GPS or live data uplink

  • Eliminate latency and minimize compute capacity by employing AI models that run using conventional customer hardware configurations

Off-Road OS

Say hello to a new generation of proactive and self-learning driver aids, powered by Terrain Intelligence. Modular and customizable, to add total end-to-end control or introduce new capabilities into existing systems.

  • Switches driveline settings (such as two or four-wheel drive, and differentials open or locked) in advance of surface changes to enable swifter progress 

  • Alters suspension settings pre-emptively, to improve comfort and controllability for jumps, rocks, potholes and sudden changes in gradient

  • Selects from engine or motor torque maps based on conditions ahead, to minimize risk of skidding or getting stuck

  • Inflates and deflates tires automatically, reducing cognitive load on drivers and improving vehicle performance in changing conditions 

  • Identifies obstacle height and depth, and analyzes where these will exceed vehicle capability 

  • Tuneable to calculate for vehicle height, size, track and ground clearance 

  • Eliminates the need for an external spotter for safer solo adventuring in leisure settings and more efficient use of personnel in mission scenarios  

  • Identifies angle of gradient ahead – incline and decline, vertical and horizontal – and analyzes where these will exceed vehicle capability 

  • Tuneable to calculate for vehicle height, size, track and ground clearance 

  • Reduces risk of rollovers when used to power driver visual aids

The same sensors, only smarter.

We use ordinary sensors to do extraordinary things. We’ve trained our systems to read from mono or stereo cameras, radar or lidar, so that we can give your vehicle the ability to interpret and interrogate terrain ahead, whatever hardware you’ve specified. Smarter vehicles, without adding to your bill of materials.

Continuous learning.

Working with our customers, we leverage machine learning and over-the-air updates so that our entire global fleet gets smarter with every hill climbed, every ravine bridged, and every mile of dirt track and snowy trail driven.

Intelligence everywhere.

By solving for extreme environments, our tech can help tackle the trickiest edge cases on-road, too. Think loose dirt and gravel, wet cobblestones and slippery painted markings – and vehicles that can spot those hazards at a distance and adjust vehicle settings in advance. We’re helping drivers find adventure off-road, and safety on it.

Drivers first.

Can our technology be applied in autonomous vehicles? Sure. But we see our job as making all drivers the best they can be. We believe this is where we can do the most good, most quickly, which is why we’re focused on ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems) over AV (autonomous vehicles).

VEHICLES

P0

Our quad-motor, all-electric test vehicle is packed full of sensors to mirror any customer configuration. Testing has never been so much fun – or effective.

Too many modes?

More vehicle settings, more driver confusion. If only there was a better way. (There is.)
