Imagry is an autonomous driving (AD) software provider that has created a mapless driving system. It uses bio-inspired technology that combines real-time vision-based perception and imitation-learning artificial intelligence (AI) for a driving decision-making network that can be installed on passenger cars as well as autonomous buses. [1] [2] [3]
Imagry was founded in 2015 by Adham Ghazali and Majed Jubeh [4] and has been specializing in the automotive sector since 2018. [5] At the beginning of 2019, Imagry released its first version of its mapless autonomous driving software. [6] Company's first funding was obtained in May 2016. To date the company has raised funding of $46M in total.
In 2023, Imagry won a tender to provide the first autonomous bus in Israel, deployed at the largest medical center in the Middle East (Sheba Tel HaShomer City of Health), followed by a second tender win for the first autonomous bus on a public road in Israel. [7]
The company also partnered with Continental to integrate part of Imagry's technology in the Continental Autonomous Parking solution. [8] [9] In 2023, the company received the Software Sensor Award from ICA (Innovation Connectivity Autonomous). [10]
In 2023, Imagry received Frost & Sullivan's the 2023 Enabling Technology Leadership Award - identified as best in class in the European autonomous driving solutions industry. [2]
Imagry specializes in providing mapless driving technologies tailored to enable Level 3-4 autonomous vehicles. The company's platform is designed to operate independently of hardware specifications, utilizing high-resolution visible spectrum (VIS) cameras. Imagry's software operates in real-time and relies on a vision-based perception network, eliminating the need for high-definition (HD) maps. [11] [12]
Imagry operates with headquarters in San Jose, California and an additional development center in Haifa, Israel. Since 2019, it has been operating a fleet of vehicles equipped with its autonomous driving software on public roads in the U.S., Germany, Japan, and Israel. [13]
Imagry collects and processes peripheral information from several cameras installed on the vehicle. This data is sent to a computer in the vehicle whose purpose is to perform, in real-time, the actions that will allow the vehicle to drive autonomously. This technology relies on cost-effective sensors, negating the necessity for a persistent satellite connection or extensive investments in digital HD mapping of roads and cities. [12] [11]
The Imagry solution uses strong machine learning, AI, spatial DCNN (Deep Convolutional Neural Networks), and learning-based IP to plan the motion of the vehicle. [3]
A self-driving car, also known as an autonomous car (AC), driverless car, robotaxi, robotic car or robo-car, is a car that is capable of operating with reduced or no human input. Self-driving cars are responsible for all driving activities, such as perceiving the environment, monitoring important systems, and controlling the vehicle, which includes navigating from origin to destination.
Hexagon AB is a multinational industrial technology company. Headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden and publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange, the company since 2000 has had a particular focus on measuring technology and geospatial tools and software.

With around 24,000 employees, Hexagon's revenue in 2023 was US$5.5 billion, while assets were $18.1 billion.
Vehicular automation involves the use of mechatronics, artificial intelligence, and multi-agent systems to assist the operator of a vehicle such as a car, lorries, aircraft, or watercraft. A vehicle using automation for tasks such as navigation to ease but not replace human control, qualify as semi-autonomous, whereas a fully self-operated vehicle is termed autonomous.
