Driveblocks offers a modular and scalable platform solution for autonomous driving in the commercial vehicle sector
About driveblocks
Driveblocks GmbH, established in 2022, is a technology startup specializing in autonomous driving solutions for commercial vehicles. Headquartered in Munich, Germany, the company focuses on developing a Mapless Autonomy Platform that enables heavy-duty vehicles to operate without relying on high-definition maps.
The Mapless Autonomy Platform is a modular system comprising software components for raw data processing, real-time environment detection, and sensor data fusion. This approach allows vehicles to perceive their surroundings and detect objects reliably, facilitating applications in container terminals, mining, agriculture, and hub-to-hub logistics. By eliminating the dependence on pre-scanned maps, Driveblocks' technology offers cost savings, safety improvements, and more efficient workflows.
In September 2023, Driveblocks secured €2.2 million in seed funding to further develop its core technology. The company has successfully tested its platform on routes between Munich and Bolzano, including the challenging Brenner Pass, demonstrating its capability to handle complex driving scenarios.
Driveblocks collaborates with industry partners such as TIER IV, a Japanese deep-tech specialist in autonomous driving, and Apex.AI, to enhance its platform's capabilities. The company's mission is to deliver safe, reliable, and scalable autonomous driving solutions that can be integrated into various commercial vehicle applications, promoting a future where autonomy is mapless.
