Draft:Autobrains
| Submission declined on 27 June 2025 by Greenman (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

- Comment: Lots of promo-ish wording that should be removed, like "this marked a significant milestone in the company’s commercial rollout and global expansion", or "announced a strategic collaboration". Make sure the sourcing you use is secondary and independent, press releases should not be used. A list of media coverage isn't needed, instead, you should use the content of these publications to write the article itself (again, only if they are independent).

Autobrains Technologies Ltd. is an Israeli startup that develops artificial intelligence (AI) software for autonomous vehicles. Headquartered in Tel Aviv, the company also operates in Munich, Germany, the United States, and China. It has conducted additional testing and operations in France, India, and Vietnam.
The company was founded in 2019[1] under the name Cartica AI by Igal Raichelgauz as a spin-off from the AI firm Cortica Ltd. The company was later renamed Autobrains to reflect its focus on cognitive machine learning applied to automotive systems.[2]
Autobrains is supported by investors including Toyota, BMW, Knorr-Bremse, VinFast, and Continental AG. Its chairman is Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann, former CEO of Continental, Opel, and Volkswagen China.
Autobrains develops autonomous driving and advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) AI software. Its technology is designed to process input from a range of sensors – such as cameras, radar, and lidar – using a self-learning model. Rather than relying on labeled data, the system organizes input into "signatures" based on shared characteristics. These signatures allow the software to adapt to unfamiliar or unusual scenarios, which the company identifies as critical for handling edge cases in autonomous mobility.[3]
In November 2021, the company announced it had raised $101 million in Series C funding, and in March 2022 said it had brought in another $19 million, for a total of $120 million. Autobrains has to date raised just under $140 million in total.[2] Its backers include Continental, BMW’s venture capital arm BMW i Ventures, Temasek the sovereign wealth fund of Singapore, Toyota Ventures, Knorr-Bremse and VinFast.
Clients
[edit]In May 2024, Autobrains announced that its software would be integrated into a production vehicle from a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer. The deployment marks the company's initial move toward commercial-scale implementation of its ADAS platform.[4]
Partnerships
[edit]Autobrains previously worked with Continental on a camera-based ADAS platform. Together, they developed a system designed to reduce cost and power consumption while supporting driver-assistance features such as emergency braking and lane-keeping assist.[5] Autobrains also collaborated with Ambarella, a semiconductor company, and Seeing Machines on a multi-camera single-box driver monitoring solution shown at CES 2023.[6]
In December 2024, Autobrains announced a collaboration with JOYNEXT offering a single-box Smart Camera solution, optimized for cost-effective Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.[7]
Technology/Products
[edit]The company's proprietary AI software is based on an unsupervised learning approach that reduces reliance on labeled data. It processes data into binary, high-dimensional signatures that group similar objects by appearance and behavior.[8] This reduces the need for compute-intensive processing and improves hardware flexibility. The system is designed to require minimal recalibration if hardware configuration changes and is compatible with a wide range of sensors and chipsets.[9]
Autobrains’ autonomous driving approach follows a modular AI framework known as “Skills,” where specialized AI agents are trained for individual driving tasks, such as navigating roundabouts or detecting occluded objects in poor weather. This architecture enables precise adaptation to edge cases while reducing overall system complexity and compute load. Each agent can be independently optimized, allowing incremental system updates and faster iteration cycles.[10]
In 2024, the company introduced Air2Road, a localization technology combining aerial imagery with ground-based perception. The system is designed to improve localization in complex environments and reduce dependence on satellite navigation or pre-mapped data.[11] It aims to provide reliable positioning even in GPS-challenged areas such as urban canyons or tunnels.[12]
In May 2025, Autobrains announced that its Skills-based software would enter series production as part of a Level 2 driver assistance system for a Chinese OEM. According to the company, this marked a major milestone in moving from research to road deployment. The system uses a low-cost 8MP camera and a 2 TOPS (Tera Operations per Second) chip, reflecting the company's focus on scalable, cost-efficient autonomy.[13] Autobrains also stated that its R&D[14] team is actively developing solutions aimed at Level 3 and Level 4 automation.
