Logistics
Company's Story
DriveU.auto develops autonomous vehicle technology purpose-built for last-mile logistics in complex, high-density operational environments. The company's platform enables self-driving vehicle movement across port yards, logistics hubs, and terminal facilities. Essentially, it provides the ability to handle the transfer of vehicles and cargo with minimal human intervention and without requiring purpose-built infrastructure.
DriveU.auto's approach is built around deep sensor fusion, real-time spatial mapping, and adaptive AI that enables vehicles to navigate dynamic and unpredictable environments safely. The platform is designed for the kind of setting where reliability and zero tolerance for operational disruption are non-negotiable, and where a human driver represents a bottleneck rather than an asset.
“Automation solves real operational gaps in container ports, and DriveU.auto offers a practical solution that can be implemented quickly and scaled easily. We’re honored by this vote of confidence by Ashdod Port, one of the most innovative and forward-looking ports globally, in our technology approach.”
CEO, Alon Podhurts
Work at Ashdod Port - Autonomous Operations at Ashdod Port
DriveU.auto's collaboration with the Port of Ashdod brought its autonomous vehicle platform into one of Israel's most active and operationally complex port environments. The port handles thousands of vehicle and cargo movements daily across a large yard with simultaneous human-operated machinery, variable traffic patterns, and no tolerance for downtime. The pilot focused on autonomous yard movement, testing DriveU.auto's ability to navigate Ashdod's internal road network, interact safely with human-operated vehicles and machinery, and maintain operational continuity under live port conditions. The results demonstrated that autonomous last-mile logistics is key for Ashdod.
