An AI that suggests a scenic route for your roadtrip and a voice agent that lets your car order coffee for you. These are some of the startups selected to join MobilityXlab and collaborate with industry leaders.
MobilityXlab is an innovative mobility collaboration platform in Sweden that has selected 5 startups to join the program and co-develop solutions with its partners Magna, Polestar, Volvo Group, Zeekr Technology Europe and Zenseact.
In this 14th batch, the technologies that attracted the most interest relate to enhanced in-cabin experiences, including AI for location and navigation services, smart EV charging, voice agents for drivers, behavior monitoring, radar technology for autonomous driving, and energy-efficient materials.
The selected startups are Radar Reticence (Sweden), Bareways (Germany), AffinityEV (Ireland), Kilowatts (United States) and TAWNY (Germany). During six to twelve months, they will undergo a structured collaboration process with leaders in the mobility industry.
