- 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. Thanks to the organizers for giving us the opportunity to present our technology, fully developed in Flanders and backed by our investors LRM, Ethias Ventures, SFPIM and Belfius
- 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
- Building a pure-play defence business? At the last Dual Nexus Meetup, two public investors, a VC and two defence founders explained why that's (usually) setting yourself up for failure. The money is there, and it moves way faster than I expected. But... one army as a customer doesn't cut it for investors, defence buys on a two-year clock, and the successful founders build a civilian business that pays the bills while defence business does the growing. The next day, Mark Rutte and the NATO Innovation Fund's Dr. Ari Kristinn

- There are a few things you won’t hear at a defence event where shiny new tech, “partnerships” with global companies and letters-of-intent are in every pitch. 👇 For example: in the real world, defence buyers won’t bet an operational requirement on a vendor that might run out of cash mid-pilot. Contracts take months of sign-offs. Pilot schedules slip. Payments come late. Investors pull out at the last minute. Somewhere in there, a small company can run out of money.
