Summary

Builds "embodied AI" foundation models for driving — end-to-end, mapless autonomy meant to be hardware-agnostic across carmakers, in contrast to rivals' HD-map-dependent stacks. Positions its approach as 'AV2.0'.

Notable

$1.05B Series C led by SoftBank with new investor NVIDIA and existing backer Microsoft — one of the largest AV funding rounds outside the robotaxi operators themselves.
