Our take

As electric and autonomous vehicles become more prevalent, Kinetic is looking to support this mobility transformation with tech-enabled vehicle servicing.

The company operates a network of service centers that deliver digital maintenance and servicing for EVs and AVs. The centers are manned by certified technicians and powered by Kinetic's own AI, computer vision and robotics technology.

As cars become more software-reliant, vehicle repair needs a change - and Kinetic's solution certainly has the potential to shake things up. The company has raised substantial funds that will allow it to expand to meet the growing demand for EV and AV digital maintenance and servicing and support its newly launched Las Vegas hub.
