About
Optimus Ride was an MIT spinoff founded in 2015 that developed fully autonomous (SAE Level 4) self-driving vehicle systems for geofenced environments, with a focus on last-mile transportation in planned communities, campuses, and urban mobility zones. The company deployed shared, electric autonomous vehicle fleets and provided the full technology stack from perception and planning to fleet management software. Optimus Ride raised $82 million before being acquired by Magna International in January 2022.
