Brief Description
Transformational Transportation Technologies develops infrastructure-assisted approaches facilitate self-driving cars, including automated vehicle lateral guidance. The company's rail-like automated mobility provides a fail-safe system with measurable reliability for Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) fleets.
The company was spun out to deploy magnetic guidance technology developed at UC Berkeley by researchers Drs. Wei-Bin Zhang and Robert Parsons, in the California Partners for Advanced Transportation Technology (PATH) program. Transformational Transportation Technologies and its partner, Shanghai Electric Co., established a joint venture in Shanghai for the commercialization of a magnetic-guidance-based Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS).
