About

Most autonomous trucking systems depend on HD maps and can operate only on routes prepared in advance. Long-haul shipping requires flexible routing across constantly changing lanes. Mars Auto does not use maps. We built a vision-focused end-to-end AI driving agent that learns directly from real driving data. The vehicle is equipped with seven cameras, and the system interprets its surroundings from real-time visual input. It can operate on roads it has never seen before, similar to a human driver.
