RoadDB

RoadDB offers a comprehensive software solution for road data and localization tailored for highly automated driving and ADAS in series production vehicles. The company's slogan "Experience Precise and Efficient Road Data Solutions for Advanced Vehicle Automation," encapsulates its mission. It stands apart from standard HD maps by providing a CAD-like representation of the road ahead with minimal data footprint, omitting unnecessary details like points of interest, street names, addresses, and tile structures. Moreover, it features a robust localization layer with numerous reference points for accurate lane positioning within 10 cm laterally and longitudinally. RoadDB’s method differs significantly from traditional mapmakers and products designed for geofenced vehicles such as robotaxis, shuttles, and delivery vehicles. Specifically designed for series production vehicles, RoadDB’s technology covers all areas where RoadDB-equipped vehicles operate and is continually updated with data from RoadDB-equipped vehicles. Additionally, it utilizes existing vehicle sensors used for other functions and provides over-the-air updates. Established in 1902, RoadDB operates globally, with its headquarters in Grand Forks, North Dakota, U.S.A.; an engineering center in Chengdu, Sichuan, PRC; and additional team members in France, Germany, Japan, and the UK. With its focus on cutting-edge road data solutions for advanced vehicle automation, RoadDB presents an intriguing investment opportunity for venture capitalists seeking to tap into the burgeoning market of automated driving technology.
