Technology start-up driveblocks, a software specialist for fully autonomous driving of commercial vehicles, has closed a 2.2 million euro seed round led by Rethink Ventures and Bayern Kapital. Angel investor Joachim Drees (former CEO of MAN SE and MAN Truck & Bus SE) and existing investor Friedrich & Wagner Holding also provided fresh capital. The founding team intends to use the funds primarily for the further development of driveblocks’ core technology: the Mapless Autonomy Platform.
Transformer neural networks leverage context information via attention-mechanisms. Learn more about how we leverage this to improve edge-case performance in the Mapless Autonomy Platform.
We are excited to announce our partnership with Apex.AI! We have pre-integrated the Mapless Autonomy Platform with the safety-certified framework Apex.Grace and can now offer a ready to deploy solution to joint customers and development partners.
driveblocks, a technology company providing perception software for mapless autonomous driving, releases a revamped version of its Mapless Autonomy Platform. The key update is a new backend for the core sensor-fusion algorithm.
Innovusion, a global frontrunner in high precision and resolution LiDAR sensor technology, and driveblocks, a pioneer in AI-based perception and sensor-fusion for mapless autonomous driving, have joined forces. The objective: To speed up commercial vehicle automation by providing a robust and integrated solution designed for a diverse range of environments, including agriculture, container yards, and highways.
The Mapless Autonomy Platform leverages transformer neural networks in conjunction with a geometrically-interpretable sensor-fusion to combine the advantages of state-of-the-art deep learning approaches with explainable sensor-fusion.
