In a move to transform transportation beyond bustling cities, Berlin-based AI startup MOTOR Ai recently showcased its innovative autonomous mobility solutions at the DeveLUP competence center in Ludwigslust-Parchim, Germany. This launch event, hosted by the Ludwigslust-Parchim district and the Ludwigslust-Parchim Transport Company (VLP), united experts from politics, science, administration, and technology to reimagine how autonomous systems can enhance rural mobility.
Key Highlights:
- MOTOR Ai unveils autonomous solutions for rural areas at DeveLUP center
- Event organized by Ludwigslust-Parchim district and VLP, gathering diverse stakeholders
- CEO Roy Uhlmann stresses reliable, efficient rural transport as a priority
- Technology features transparent, rule-based AI, meeting German and European standards
- MOTOR Ai tests autonomous vehicles legally on German public roads
- Launch initiates collaboration for regionally focused, regulated mobility solutions
Rural areas often grapple with sparse public transport, lengthy travel times, and a heavy dependence on private cars. MOTOR Ai’s autonomous technology aims to tackle these issues head-on by offering flexible, on-demand services tailored to less densely populated regions. This approach promises to boost accessibility, especially for those without personal vehicles, such as seniors or non-drivers, fostering greater independence and connectivity.
Roy Uhlmann, MOTOR Ai’s CEO and co-founder, underscored the urgency of this mission. “Public transport must become more reliable, more efficient, and more accessible, especially in rural areas,” he said. “Our autonomous solution proves that modern mobility can thrive outside urban centers and remain economically sustainable.”
What sets MOTOR Ai apart is its status as the only German company legally testing autonomous vehicles on public roads with its own “Made in Germany” software. This technology hinges on a transparent, rule-based AI system using active inference—a method that ensures decisions are clear, predictable, and aligned with strict safety regulations across Germany and Europe.
This event signals the start of a broader effort to weave autonomous mobility into rural life, blending regional needs with cutting-edge innovation. As MOTOR Ai and its partners press forward, they’re paving the way for a future where rural transportation is both practical and forward-thinking.
