About Ottopia

Ottopia is a software company founded in 2018 by CEO Amit Rosenzweig and CTO Leon Altarac. The company is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, with offices in San Francisco. Rosenzweig's background includes serving as Head of Product for Microsoft's leading cybersecurity offering, while Altarac founded the Robotics and AV branch of the Israeli Army.

The company develops an AI-powered teleoperation platform that enables remote human operators to monitor, guide, and control autonomous vehicles. Ottopia's software is designed to address edge cases where autonomous systems might struggle, allowing for a human-in-the-loop approach to resolve complex scenarios. The platform combines artificial and human intelligence, leveraging proprietary technologies in networking, video compression, user experience, and cybersecurity to ensure safe, scalable, and reliable remote operation. Its technology features adaptive video streaming, network bonding, and AI-based prediction of network behavior to maintain a low-latency connection over public cellular networks. The system also includes an Advanced Teleoperator Assistance System (ATAS)™ that calculates vehicle trajectories and provides collision warnings.

Ottopia operates on a B2B model, providing its software to automotive OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and commercial fleet managers. The platform is vehicle-agnostic and can be integrated into cars, trucks, buses, construction machinery, and delivery robots. This allows clients to accelerate the commercialization of their autonomous fleets, reduce R&D costs, and meet regulatory requirements. Key partners and customers include Hyundai, Magna International, Deutsche Telekom, Serve Robotics, and NVIDIA. A notable partnership with Hyundai Mobis aims to develop an automotive-grade, end-to-end remote assistance solution by combining Ottopia's software with Mobis' hardware and system integration expertise.

The company has raised a total of $26.5 million over four funding rounds. Its latest funding was a $14.5 million Series A round in January 2023, led by ComfortDelGro and AI Alliance Fund. Ottopia has been recognized for its market leadership, receiving the 2024 Global Enabling Technology Leadership Award from Frost & Sullivan.
