- Our Head of Engineering, Rodrigo Senofieni, had the chance to speak at Flanders Technology & Innovation Festival about safety-critical high-speed driving and AIDOPTATION EdgeDrive, our fully deterministic autonomous driving software. It was also a pleasure to showcase the car and let visitors and industry experts see our technology taking shape.

- AI is going to have a massive impact on our lives, especially in autonomous driving. But I believe AI and traditional white-box, fully deterministic approaches should work in symbiosis rather than compete. That is exactly what the EdgeDrive safety layer does: it takes control when everything else has failed and handles the most safety-critical situations of autonomous driving at any level, from L2 to L4. Think of emergency avoidance maneuvers where the vehicle uses 80 to 100% of the available tire grip, all handled in a fully
- First in Belgium. First in Europe at this scale.

Last week, we gathered with our partners and media for a press day to showcase everything we’ve built and reflect on every step that made this achievement possible. Getting approval for high-speed L4 testing isn't just about software: it’s about relentless hard work, rigorous safety validation, and the

- Founders building the future of insurance: this interview is worth your attention. In his latest interview, Philippe Lallemand, CEO of Ethias, shares a clear conviction: AI, cybersecurity, mobility, cloud and data are no longer future trends. They are becoming central to how insurers prevent risks, serve customers and create value for society. For us at Ethias Ventures, this reinforces why Ethias continues to invest in innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems. Some of the most impactful advances in insurance will come from

Aidoptation has received approval to conduct fully autonomous Level 4 driving tests on public highways in the European Union — a remarkable achievement for the team and an important step forward for the future of safer mobility. What stands out to us is not only the technological breakthrough. It's the ambition behind it.
