Ottopia’s Teleoperation platform has been evaluated by leading automotive players and was recently selected by the BMW Group as a preferred multi SIM teleoperation technology to support autonomous driving services. Over the course of several months, Ottopia’s solution had been put to the test on public roads while using public LTE networks on an autonomous BMW Group vehicle. The test included transferring 360 degrees High Definition video from a moving vehicle to a control center located at the BMW Group´s Autonomous Driving Campus in Unterschleißheim, and measuring multiple performance metrics such as delay and video quality.

Deutsche Telekom and Ottopia partnered to commercialize Ottopia’s technology, making it available as a solution for demanding customers such as automotive OEMs, Tier1 suppliers and commercial fleet managers. Ottopia’s patent pending teleoperations technology uses Artificial Intelligence to predict the cellular network and enables resilient and ultra-low latency data transmission when streaming a 360 degrees video from a moving vehicle to a control center. Combined with advanced safety, Ottopia builds and provides algorithms to deal with situations such as sudden connectivity loss, or unexpected hazards on the road. The solution can be utilized immediately to address a multitude of customer use cases. The joint offering by T-Systems and Ottopia provides unparalleled performance, thanks to the combination of Ottopia’s AI-based prediction capabilities and T-Systems’ unique connected vehicle and automotive expertise.

EasyMile provides software and complete solutions for driverless mobility and goods transportation. It’s people mover, the EZ10, is the most-deployed driverless shuttle in the world. For material handling, it offers TractEasy, a tow-truck solution for cross/indoor-outdoor automation at factories and industrial sites. We work together in the EU-funded AWARD project that demonstrates heavy-duty autonomous vehicles in harsh weather conditions and real-logistics operations. For example, our technology is being integrated so that when an EasyMile vehicle needs help it will be able to signal an operator in a remote location who can, using Ottopia’s proprietary teleoperation solution, give it guidance or manually control it. This allows maximum vehicle uptime with minimal operations staff.

Since 2013, Gaussin has been developing Autonomous Driving systems for its electric, self-driving vehicles and has integrated world class partner systems and software to provide the most efficient turnkey solution for yard and terminal automation. By combining Ottopia’s platform into their product lines, GAUSSIN is the first company to provide battery and hydrogen fuel-cell electric Autonomous Vehicles with built-in teleoperation technology. This unique combination provides unparalleled service levels and performance for GAUSSIN’s vehicles which operate in mission-critical environments such as ports and airports.

Ottopia leverages automotive grade LiDAR from Innoviz to power the detection systems for ATAS™ – Advanced Teleoperator Assistance Systems. As a result, operators receive Collision Warning alerts and, if necessary, the vehicle triggers Collision Avoidance and stop in its tracks. InnovizPro hardware can be retrofitted onto any vehicle in any fleet and Innoviz’s proprietary perception software gives an accurate picture of the environment in real time. Integrating that critical information into the ATAS suite of algorithms, teleoperated vehicles can now easily circumnavigate problematic obstacles and keep everyone safe.

May Mobility’s autonomous drive-by-wire control system and autonomy stack can be applied to a wide variety of platforms to solve unique mobility challenges. In addition they also collect data to unlock insights that can benefit future planning for cleaner, safer, and more accessible cities. Like all autonomy companies, there are edge cases. By integrating Ottopia’s universal teleoperation system into the autonomy stack, May Mobility can monitor and support vehicles remotely on an as-needed basis.

As an NVIDIA DRIVE® ecosystem partner, and NVIDIA Partner Network (NPN) preferred partner, Ottopia has optimized its safe and secure remote teleoperation software on the automotive-grade NVIDIA DRIVE AGX platform, including NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Pegasus™. Ottopia is also compatible with all devices in the NVIDIA® Jetson™ family e.g. Jetson Nano™, Jetson™ TX2, Jetson Xavier™ NX and Jetson AGX Xavier™ series.

Via and Ottopia offer a single solution that, when integrated with an AV, enables the deployment of level 4 transportation. This partnership leverages Via’s fleet management technology and Ottopia’s teleoperations technology to remove the need for a physically present safety driver and accelerate the implementation of AVs in public and private transit systems.
