Autolane Inc

Based in the US, Autolane Inc is a technology firm that develops infrastructure to support autonomous vehicle (AV) operations, enhancing efficiency for retail, grocery, and QSR sectors. Autolane Inc was founded in 2024 by CEO and co-founder Ben Seidl, in Palo Alto, US, focusing on infrastructure for autonomous vehicle operations. In December 2025, Autolane Inc raised USD 3. 45 million in seed funding co-led by investors Draper, Hyperplane Venture Capital, with participation from other investors LAUNCH and Feld Ventures.

The seed funding values Autolane Incat USD 12. 02 million post-money. Autolane specializes in developing infrastructure designed to facilitate autonomous vehicle (AV) operations across various sectors, including retail, grocery, and quick-serve restaurants (QSRs). Their core product, OpenCurb OS, is a comprehensive curbside operating system that manages AV pickups and drop-offs in high-traffic areas such as shopping centers, big-box retailers, and stadiums.

This platform integrates multi-sensor kits installed at parking stalls to provide precise AV coordination, authentication, and trunk access, thus transforming traditional parking lots into intelligent hubs for autonomous commerce. Additionally, Autolane coordinates rideshare AVs, enables customers to send their own AVs for autonomous pickups, and orchestrates AV fleets for last-mile deliveries. The company's technology has been deployed in various U. S.

markets, including Texas and California, and targets property owners, retailers, and mobility providers as its primary clientele. Autolane's revenue model is primarily driven by partnerships and subscription-based agreements with businesses in the autonomous vehicle sector. Their flagship product, OpenCurb OS, represents a significant aspect of their service offerings, enabling seamless operations for AV pickups and deliveries. In transactions, clients such as shopping centers and retailers engage with Autolane through contractual agreements that outline the technology's implementation and ongoing support.

The pricing structure is tailored to each client based on the specific needs and scale of the integration, thereby facilitating a direct business-to-business (B2B) relationship. By positioning themselves as a crucial technology provider, Autolane aims to enhance operational efficiency and customer experience for its partners in the autonomous commerce ecosystem. The company will use the December 2025 funding to expand deployment of its technology for autonomous ride-hailing and delivery services, and to improve operational efficiency in vehicle management.
