SafeAI raises $5M to develop and deploy autonomy for mining and construction vehicles

Startup SafeAI, powered by a founding talent team with experience across Apple, Ford and Caterpillar, is emerging from stealth today with a $5 million funding announcement. The company's focus is on autonomous vehicle technology, designed and built specifically for heavy equipment used in the mining and construction industries. Out the gate, SafeAI is working with Doosan Bobcat, the South Korean equipment company that makes Bobcat loaders and excavators, and it's already demonstrating and testing its software on a Bobcat skid loader at the SafeAI testing ground in San Jose.
