The start-up develops software for mobility and autonomous applications. Daimler wants to use it to enable the truck of the future.
Daimler Trucks is joining the start-up Apex.AI with a strategic minority stake. The company, based in Munich and California, develops software solutions for the automotive industry, including the Apex.OS operating system. This system is designed to make programming a vehicle or robot "almost as easy as programming a phone." The operating system's security has already been certified by TÜV Nord, he said.
"Our powerful solutions are deliberately designed for simplicity. That's the approach that is changing the way companies in a variety of industries develop their future vehicle technologies," said Jan Becker, co-founder and CEO of Apex.AI. Becker co-founded the startup with Dejan Pangercic in 2017. The software offered is expected to find application in smart machines in agriculture, mining, and the IoT industry, in addition to the automotive sector. The company has already convinced a number of well-known investors such as Continental, Airbus and Toyota.
