About
About FiveAI
FiveAI developed automated-driving software and engineering tools covering perception, prediction, planning, simulation and safety validation. Its platform processed camera, lidar and radar data to identify road users and generate vehicle trajectories in complex urban environments. The company also built simulation and data-management systems for testing driving behaviour across large scenario libraries.
FiveAI conducted public-road development in the United Kingdom and worked on autonomous passenger-transport technology before shifting toward supplying software to vehicle programmes. Bosch acquired the company in 2022 and integrated approximately 140 employees into its cross-domain computing and automated-driving organisation. FiveAI no longer operates as an independent business.
