#120 - Koosha Kaveh - CEO, Imperium Drive

A number of companies are trying to crack the autonomous driving puzzle, and a variety of approaches have evolved. Some companies are taking a software-first approach, building an AD software stack that can work on any hardware environment. Others are taking a hardware-first approach, creating a sensor and hardware environment that can adopt any software stack. Others still are creating a ‘walled-garden’ with software and hardware designed in close conjunction, allowing each to work only with the other for a specific use case. 

Imperium Drive, a UK-based autonomous driving startup, has a radically different take on the autonomous driving problem. Imperium Drive believes that a ‘human-in-the-loop’ is a critical stop on the journey to full autonomous driving. The company is focused on bringing commercially and operationally viable products to the market, even as it pursues its ultimate goal of making autonomy a reality.

We caught up with Koosha Kaveh, CEO of Imperium Drive on this episode of the AI in Automotive Podcast. Koosha shares his view of the evolution of AD, and progress on the autonomy journey. He also introduces us to Fetchcar, their super interesting driverless, human-in-the-loop car rental service.
