About Senior Auto
Senior Auto develops Level 4 automated-driving systems for large industrial logistics operations. The company works both by converting established vehicle types to unmanned operation and by developing purpose-built vehicles for automated transport.
Its focus is closed or controlled industrial workflows where vehicles move materials across large sites. The company supplies the driving technology and vehicle programme; deployment scope, route design, safety controls and operating permissions depend on the customer site and selected vehicle.
