What We Do
Imagry develops real-time, mapless autonomous-driving software for public transit, fleet vehicles, buses, shuttles, and passenger cars. Its vision-based AI uses deep learning, visual-spatial perception, and imitation-learning decision systems to support Level 3/4 autonomy without HD maps, LiDAR, or costly sensors. The hardware-agnostic platform integrates with existing vehicle systems and is designed to provide scalable, cost-effective autonomy for automakers and transit operators.
