Imagry

What Imagry does

Imagry is a privately held software company that develops an HD-mapless, camera-only autonomous driving platform built on a distributed neural network architecture. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Haifa, Israel, with a US engineering office in San Jose, the company operates at approximately 120 employees and designs its technology to enable Level 3 autonomy in passenger vehicles and Level 4 autonomy in M3-class electric buses without HD maps, LiDAR, or cloud dependency. The platform uses eight onboard cameras for 360-degree perception up to 300 meters and delivers sub-100ms reaction times, with an AI Driver release in January 2025 leveraging NVIDIA GPUs for lower compute and latency. The company has accumulated more than 100,000 kilometers of safe autonomous operation and was the first to pass full NCAP safety testing for M3-category buses across 90 test configurations.

Imagry operates a software-only, licensing-based business model, pricing its autonomy stack at approximately $3,000 per vehicle (versus an industry average cited at $100,000) and full vehicle integration at approximately $70,000 per vehicle — roughly one-third of comparable offerings. The company sells through direct enterprise engagement with public transportation operators and municipalities, and through OEM and tier-1 embedded channels including Continental, eVersum, Toyota Tsusho, and Transdev. Named deployments include Line 5 in Nahariya, Israel (Nateev Express), Sheba Medical Center campus routes, a Japanese pilot with Toyota Tsusho, and an L4 roboshuttle route in Riga, Latvia with Carguru. ARR was reported at $14.3 million in 2024 against a $42.8 million valuation, with the company targeting the structural bus-driver shortage (cited at 16%+ professionally and a projected 36,000-driver gap in Japan by FY 2030) as its primary demand driver.

Core offering

Imagry develops and licenses an HD-mapless, camera-only AI autonomous driving software platform called the Imagry AI Driver. Using eight onboard cameras and distributed neural networks, the system performs real-time perception and decision-making without HD maps, LiDAR, or cloud dependency, supporting Level 3 autonomy in passenger vehicles and Level 4 autonomy in M3-class electric buses for public transportation operators, bus OEMs, and municipalities.

Product overview

Imagry is a software-only autonomous driving technology company offering a suite of AI-based products centered on its HD-mapless, camera-only autonomous driving platform. The core offering is the Imagry AI Driver software, which uses eight cameras and neural networks for real-time vision-based perception without HD maps, lidar, or cloud dependency. This platform is complemented by the Cortex perception system and Safe Driver Overwatch guardian-angel safety module. The technology supports Level 3 autonomy for passenger vehicles and Level 4 for M3-category buses. The system costs approximately $70,000 per vehicle—one-third of comparable market offerings—and can be retrofitted to existing vehicles or integrated during manufacturing.
