About PRODRIVER
PRODRIVER is Embotech’s solution to the problem of motion planning for autonomous or highly-automated vehicles. It is an essential component of the autonomous driving software stack, within the so-called ‘decision making’ layer. As a motion planner, PRODRIVER is responsible to generate drivable trajectories or directly actuator commands such as steering, accelerating and braking. These are computed given the surrounding environment information. PRODRIVER does so by continuously making predictions and solving an optimization problem in real time. Its most important inputs are information about the drivable space, the obstacles within it and a goal (which could be a position or an objective such as making progress along a route). Its outputs can be used directly to control the vehicle or to provide set-points for the vehicle’s low-level controllers to track. The diagram below gives a schematic overview of how PRODRIVER is integrated within a typical autonomous vehicle software stack.

Kodiak Driver
Kodiak AI’s technology centers on the Kodiak Driver, a unified autonomous driving platform that combines advanced AI-powered software with modular, vehicle-agnostic hardware to enable scalable, real-world autonomy for trucks and ground vehicles. Designed to integrate seamlessly across different vehicle types and operating conditions, the system uses a suite of sensors, housed in field-swappable SensorPods for full 360° perception, deep-learning based perception models to interpret complex environments, forward planning to anticipate changes in the road ahead, and redundant compute, power, steering, and braking systems engineered for safety and reliability in demanding use cases. It supports deployment in commercial long-haul trucking, industrial logistics, and defense ground vehicles, with connectivity and telematics enabling over-the-air updates, remote fleet management, and Assisted Autonomy capabilities that allow human oversight.

Waymo
Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company that develops self-driving vehicles and operates fully driverless transportation services. Originally created as Google’s self-driving car project in 2009, the company later became an independent subsidiary of Alphabet with the goal of making transportation safer, more accessible, and more efficient through autonomous mobility. Its core technology, known as the Waymo Driver, combines artificial intelligence, high-resolution cameras, radar, lidar sensors, and detailed digital maps to allow vehicles to perceive their surroundings and navigate roads without human intervention. It continuously analyzes traffic signals, pedestrians, other vehicles, and road conditions to determine safe driving actions in real time. Before operating in a new area, Waymo vehicles map roads in extreme detail, identifying lane markings, signs, and intersections, and then combine this information with real-time sensor data to maintain precise positioning.

Oxbotica Selenium
Selenium is our flagship product, a full-stack autonomy system, the product of over 500 person-years of effort. An on-vehicle suite of software which given a drive-by-wire interface and very modest compute hardware, brings full autonomy to a land-based vehicle. Selenium has the ability to transform any suitable vehicle platform into an autonomous vehicle, both at prototype volume and at scale. It is a collection of interoperable software modules that allow the vehicle to answer three key questions, where am I? What’s around me? What do I do next? Selenium spans the technological spectrum, from low-level device drivers, through calibration, 4-modal localization, mapping, perception, machine learning and planning, and its remarkable vertical integration even covers user interface and data export systems. It does not even need GPS or HD-Maps (although this can still be utilized, if available).
