MOTOR Ai Raises $20M to Scale Certified Platform for Level 4 Autonomous Driving
- MOTOR Ai makes a self-driving system that explains its decisions and follows strict European safety and legal rules.
- The company has raised $20 million to advance regulatory approval and deployment of its explainable Level 4 driving system.
MOTOR Ai has raised $20 million in seed funding, led by Segenia Capital and eCAPITAL, to complete regulatory approval and scale its Level 4 autonomous driving system. The software is already in use with safety drivers in Germany, with full driverless certification expected by 2026.
MOTOR Ai’s system powers the decision-making inside autonomous vehicles. Instead of relying on pre-programmed responses, it uses real-time data to reason through each situation, much like a human driver would. This approach makes the vehicle’s actions easier to explain and audit, helping it meet Europe’s strict safety and certification standards.
“In a regulated environment like Europe, trust and compliance are non-negotiable,” said Michael Janßen, General Partner, Segenia Capital, in an official press release. “MOTOR Ai has built a solution that is not only technologically differentiated but fundamentally aligned with how Europe thinks about infrastructure and public safety. This is how autonomy will scale in future.”
Founded in Berlin in 2017 by Roy Uhlmann and Adam Bahlke, MOTOR Ai has focused from the start on developing in-house, legally accountable AI for public roads. Its system is already active in select districts and is positioned to support what the company sees as the foundation for trustworthy, fully autonomous mobility across Europe.
🌀 Tom’s Take:
People will only trust autonomous vehicles if they’re proven safe. MOTOR Ai’s focus on meeting clear rules and safety standards is exactly what the industry needs to move forward. Platforms that help vehicles gain approval under strong regulatory frameworks are critical to earning that trust.
