Automotus: Funding, Investors & Team (Aug 2026)

The objective of the Automotus team is to revolutionize the movement of vehicles within cities, airports, fleets, and small businesses by addressing the growing issues related to congestion and emissions caused by commercial vehicles. We have pioneered advanced computer vision technology that provides our customers with comprehensive real-time data on curb activity to enable smarter policy decisions. Our technology fully automates the payment process for commercial vehicle loading and parking, automates the enforcement of curb rule violations, provides real-time data on curb availability for drivers, and encourages the adoption of electric vehicles by offering incentives. Our solutions are designed to benefit everyone, from residents and small businesses to entire cities, by enhancing safety, health, and efficiency. Our technology has already supported cities in the US and Europe, including the first zero-emissions delivery areas in Santa Monica and Los Angeles.

About FundedIQ's Automotus Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Automotus is left off this page rather than filled in.
