Suddenly, a future full of self-driving cars isn’t just a sci-fi pipe dream. What used to be considered a scary, uncertain technology for many Americans looks more like an effective tool to protect ourselves from a fast-spreading, infectious disease.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented public health, economic, and logistical challenges for the world. As billions of people shelter in place in hope of vanquishing the novel coronavirus, they’re turning to technology to adapt to the new normal.

Most sensors contained within self-driving vehicles are of the type that takes visual information from outside the car and use it to navigate a path. An Israeli startup is looking at a new way of implementing sensors in self-driving cars.

Private companies and government players need each other to navigate the heavily regulated industry of mobility, whether it’s to introduce new automotive models, fund transportation infrastructure or launch new initiatives.

Tactile Mobility wants to move beyond sensors that simply help cars look at the road ahead. The Israeli tech company has created software that allows a car to sense the road and react to changes, without relying on visual aids.

Tactile Mobility Ltd. was founded eight years ago with a mission to fill a missing gap for smart and autonomous vehicles. While advances in automotive technology resulted in a comprehensive visual-based platform, in-car systems lacked vehicle-to-road tactility or the ability to feel conditions in concert with car itself.

While most sensors aim to enable autonomous vehicles to ‘see’ their surroundings, new technology is introducing tactility into their ability to feel the road.

Israeli transport intelligence company Tactile Mobility has formed a partnership with HERE Technologies, the Dutch-based mapping services company, to commercialize tactile virtual sensing data that will provide automotive companies and municipalities with real-time data on road conditions.

Porsche is intensifying its collaboration with Israeli technology company Tactile Mobility with a minority investment. The company is one of the leaders in the field of “tactile data” and is based in Haifa.

Tactile Mobility, a tactile virtual sensing and data company headquartered in Haifa, Israel, today announced that it’s secured $9 million in funding from Porsche, Union Tech Ventures (the technology investment arm of the Union Group), and previous investors.

TEL AVIV (Reuters) – Israeli automotive technology startup Tactile Mobility said on Tuesday it secured $9 million in funding from Porsche (PSHG_p.DE), Union Tech Ventures and previous investors.

Tactile Mobility (previously MobiWize), a Haifa, Israel-based startup founded in 2012, developed a solution that it calls “tactile sensing.” By collecting non-visual data such as wheel speed, wheel angle, RPM, paddle position, and gear position and performing sophisticated analytics, it’s able to generate actionable insights in real time.

Founder and CTO Boaz Mizrachi stresses the need to encode the chaos of real roads into a more structured representation. “You need a formalized representation of the analog world. If you want to do accurate prediction or detection of the tactile world, you must have a formalistic language to describe it,” Mizrachi argues.

Today’s autonomous vehicles use a combination of cameras and other sensors to try to replicate human perception, but they still struggle, especially in bad driving conditions. New technologies under development could help fill the gaps by letting vehicles “see” and “feel” things from different perspectives.

In the sunny climes of Tel Aviv, Israel, the Smart Mobility Summit, held from October 29 to 30, brought together city administrators from across the globe, research institutions, major car companies, and stealthy startups.

Smart cities are gaining momentum, yet current city street maps aren’t sufficiently detailed to help autonomous vehicles (AVs) get around safely. Before AVs become mainstream, they must have a much better grasp of their surrounding environments – otherwise how can we expect them to safely navigate the streets?

Frequent flights and travel can ruin your productivity and focus, but as this CEO has learned, you can adopt some practices that will help you thrive.

One of the newest and hottest spots is Israel, where inventiveness and originality are on display at EcoMotion, an exhibition that has grown steadily since its inauguration seven years ago.

Google and Apple loom so large over the field of digital mapping that it’s understandable why it may seem they represent the beginning and the end of this market. But the demands of a wide range of services such autonomous vehicles and smart cities are giving rise to a new generation of mapping competitors who are pushing the boundaries of innovation.

What will autonomous vehicles do when heavy rain lifts the tyres from the road? By Boaz Mizrachi

According to Amit Nisenbaum, autonomous vehicle progress relies on treating AVs like blind pedestrians. This means the tactile tools cities can adopt to help AVs navigate safely and efficiently.

Autonomous vehicles are supposed to be the future of urban transportation, yet AVs still can’t make decisions the way humans do.

Tactile Mobility’s technology uses information from existing vehicle sensors to more precisely control acceleration and braking. Porsche is among the start-up’s key backers.
