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 make vehicles smarter, roads better, and mobility-ecosystems enhanced.

Our solution mimics and surpasses human driving capacity, by letting in-car systems of self-driving cars not only to “see” the road but also “feel” it. This pioneering approach brings to life accumulated research of more than a decade, tested and perfected in rides for over tens of millions of miles of road data across multiple continents. By augmenting visual sensing with the missing vehicle-road tactility, actionable insights are fed back to onboard computers to optimize driving decisions in real-time. Data is also anonymized and uploaded to the cloud for big-data analysis, generating a constantly updated crowd-sourced mapping of global road conditions for accurate monitoring.
