Automakers and AV companies use GPR’s subterranean mapping and localization platform to deliver a safe automated driving experience without relying on clear lane markings, cooperative weather and lighting, or stable visual landmarks. GPR is expanding where and when consumer vehicles with automated features and AVs can operate, opening up new markets and bringing a level of autonomy that can earn the public’s trust. At TC Sessions: Mobility 2022 GPR CEO Tarik Bolat details how GPR’s product works, how automakers and AV companies are using it today, and what it means for the future of high volume passenger vehicle autonomy, robotaxis, and automated freight.
