About Ottometric

Ottometric operates at the intersection of automotive technology and artificial intelligence, providing a specialized software platform to automate the validation of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS). The company was established in 2019 by a group of seasoned professionals from the automotive sector, including CEO Joseph Burke, who possess extensive backgrounds from companies like General Motors, Autoliv, and NVIDIA. This collective experience in automotive electronics, AI, and computer vision underpins the company's approach to solving a critical industry challenge.

The firm targets a significant pain point for automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers: the costly and time-consuming process of ADAS validation. Traditionally, this process is manual, requiring immense resources—sometimes over a year and up to $100 million per vehicle model—to analyze petabytes of sensor data to ensure safety and compliance with government regulations. Ottometric's business model is centered on providing its software platform to these automotive companies, helping them streamline development, reduce costs, and accelerate their time to market.

The core of Ottometric's offering is an AI-powered platform that automates the analysis of data from a vehicle's complex sensor network, which includes cameras, radar, and lidar. A key feature is its proprietary data distillation technology, which intelligently classifies vast quantities of sensor data into structured, actionable insights. This allows engineering teams to move away from manual review and quickly identify and resolve issues in ADAS software and systems. The platform can significantly reduce validation timelines and costs by over 50% by automatically surfacing critical safety scenarios and pinpointing hard-to-find false negatives, where the system fails to detect an actual event. Based in Boston, the company has secured significant funding, including a $4.9 million seed round in 2023 and a $10 million Series A round in 2025, to fuel its growth and product development.
