Motor AI

Motor AI is a Berlin-based technology company developing Level 4 autonomous driving systems grounded in cognitive neuroscience and advanced German research. Their core product is an AI-driven autonomous driver that mimics human decision-making processes, enabling explainable, deductive actions in complex and unfamiliar traffic scenarios without the need for extensive data-driven training. This approach allows Motor AI’s system to remain reliable and safe without accumulating millions of test miles.

The company’s technology leverages a comprehensive sensor suite-including LIDAR, radar, cameras, microphones, GPS, and ultrasound-to achieve precise environmental perception and localization. Sensor fusion models combine data from these sources to create a detailed, real-time understanding of the vehicle’s surroundings, which forms the basis for the AI’s decision-making.

Motor AI distinguishes itself by focusing on certifiability and compliance with the highest industry safety standards, particularly those set in Germany, the first country to establish a legal framework for autonomous vehicles on public roads. Their system is designed to integrate suburban and rural areas with existing public transport, aiming to improve mobility, reduce traffic, and support sustainable transportation solutions.

Founded in 2017, Motor AI operates with a diverse, international team and is among the first companies in Germany to pursue legal certification for autonomous driving. Their mission centers on enabling individual, on-demand, and safe mobility for all, particularly in regions where traditional transport options are limited.
