Safer, more efficient and enjoyable driving experience, anywhere, anytime – with tactile data. Feeling the tactility (i.e. dynamics) that is created between a vehicle and the road is key for optimizing safety, user experience, and efficiency, either if a person or a computer drives a vehicle. Tactile Mobility provides smart and autonomous vehicles (AVs) with the missing tactile sensing and data that makes vehicles smarter, roads better, and mobility-ecosystems enhanced. Solutions Our tactility-sensing innovation empowers multiple data solutions that maximize safety, user-experience, and driving efficiency in the mobility industry. Already crunched +10,000,000 km, and analyzed +100,000 trips, Tactile Mobility’s platform offers the following value propositions: - For OEMs - Benefit from the new industry standard in vehicle data. Through our software licensing and data services, OEMs leverage a unique system empowering them to give smart and autonomous vehicles the tactile capacity that augments vision and auditory sensing. The missing sense delivered by Tactile Mobility is central for both smart vehicles (ADAS / level 2-3 AVs) and autonomous vehicles (level 4-5 AVs) alike. - For mapping companies, road authorities, transport associations, insurers - Benefit from our cloud-based analytics that generates a SurfaceDNA HD map layer of great accuracy and coverage, outlining roadway grades, banking, curvature, and any hazards such as bumps, cracks, and potholes. This level of information is immensely valuable for planned maintenance, real-time hazard detection, post-accident analysis, and more. - For fleet managers, car manufacturers, part suppliers - Benefit from our hardware and web tool, offering vital information for optimizing fuel consumption, fuel theft detection, route pricing, and preventive maintenance based on our innovative SurfaceDNA and VehicleDNA data models.
