About
Ghost Autonomy (formerly Ghost Locomotion) was a Mountain View, California-based autonomous driving software company founded in 2017 by John Hayes (CEO) and Volkmar Uhlig (CTO). Hayes previously co-founded Pure Storage, taking the company public in 2015. Ghost developed AI-driven self-driving software for automakers targeting highway autonomy for the consumer car market, using a vision-based approach with cameras rather than LiDAR. The company was backed by investors including Sutter Hill Ventures, Founders Fund, and Khosla Ventures, and received a $5 million investment from the OpenAI Startup Fund in December 2023. Ghost Autonomy shut down in April 2024 after failing to commercialize its technology.
