Our take
From the switch from manual driving to automatic in the 40s, and now the rise of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the past 5-10 years, cars have come a long way. The excitement of the fully automatic Tesla may have meant other AVs were overshadowed. It’s often not realised how many vehicles, from forklifts to stock chasers, are now operable in certain capacities without direct driver control.
Cyngn is a well-established company providing autonomous vehicle solutions. The company prides itself on a team of knowledgeable engineers and software engineers that make its DriveMod product easily unified with companies' current workflows, claiming “if a human driver can do it, so can DriveMod”.
Cyngn has raised significant funding since its founding in 2009, which reflects not only the quality of it's product, but the trust the industry has in it as well. It has made a number of impressive collaborations and partnerships in recent years; such as signing with US Continental to provide self-driving stock chasers, as well as working alongside Jtec Industries to bring a sophisticated cart system to its autonomous vehicle deployments, which opens new revenue opportunities for the company.
