ExoNav

Description: ExoNav’s core product is the Kinematic Map, an inference of the roadway network that we generate and update automatically by aggregating vehicle fleet data. The Kinematic Map holds reference trajectories for every single maneuver on the road, hence setting a baseline path and velocity for a self-driving car to follow. There are myriad situations in which sensors alone do not allow a robotic vehicle to navigate safely –think bad or absent lane markings, unprotected left turns, adverse weather conditions… By combining real-time sensor inputs with our crowdsourced trajectory map, automobile manufacturers will be to able reach the levels of reliability required for mass market commercialization.
