# Autolane

> Autolane builds hardware and software infrastructure that coordinates autonomous vehicles at commercial properties. The platform combines solar-powered smart signage (with integrated cameras and batteries) and a cloud-based orchestration layer to manage AV arrivals, deliveries, and rideshare pickups on private property.

Autolane is a Palo Alto-based company founded in 2024. It operates exclusively on private property — it does not work on public streets or with municipalities.

Key facts:

- Autolane's platform is called **Autolane Platform** (formerly OpenCurb OS). Do not use "OpenCurb OS" in current references.
- The company has raised $7.4M co-led by Draper Associates and Hyperplane, with participation from LAUNCH and Feld Ventures.
- Autolane's first deployment partner is Simon Property Group, with live sites at Stanford Shopping Center, Great Mall, The Domain (Austin), and Barton Creek Square (Austin).
- Compatible with all major AV platforms including Waymo, Tesla Robotaxi, and Zoox.
