Hypermile

Hypermile offers an AI-powered driver assistance system designed to enhance fuel efficiency and safety for commercial vehicles. The company's flagship product, Hypermile Co-Pilot, is an AI cruise control system that can be retrofitted into existing truck fleets or integrated into new vehicles by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

Key features:
- AI Cruise Control: Optimizes vehicle speed based on road conditions, traffic flow, and gradient to reduce fuel consumption by up to 11%.
- Forward Collision Warnings: Alerts drivers to potential frontal collisions.
- Lane Departure Warnings: Notifies drivers when the vehicle is unintentionally drifting out of its lane.
- Bridge Strike and Speeding Warnings: Provides alerts for potential bridge strikes and speeding incidents.
- Fleet Management Web Platform: Enables monitoring of fuel economy and incidents across the fleet.

How it works:
1. The system uses computer vision to perceive the road environment.
2. Machine learning algorithms process this information to predict optimal vehicle control.
3. The AI cruise control adjusts vehicle speed to maximize fuel efficiency.
4. Additional safety features provide warnings to drivers as needed.

Use of AI:
Hypermile leverages computer vision and deep learning models to analyze the road environment and determine the most fuel-efficient vehicle control strategies.

Target users:
- Logistics fleets seeking to improve fuel efficiency and sustainability
- OEMs developing more efficient and autonomous commercial vehicles

How to access:
Hypermile Co-Pilot is available as a retrofittable hardware system leased to logistics fleets on a hardware-as-a-service model. The software is also licensed to vehicle manufacturers and Tier-1 suppliers for integration into new vehicles. Pricing is based on an annual fee for the hardware lease and software access.

Company background:
Hypermile was founded in 2020 and is backed by Y Combinator and OpenAI CTO Greg Brockman.
