About
Founded in 2016 by Mark Seeger and based in California, US, Glydways, Inc. , formerly known as Wayfarer, Inc. , specializes in the design, manufacture, installation, and operation of self-driving vehicles for low, medium, and high-capacity requirements. The company is led by its Co-CEOs, Mark Seeger & Blake Barber.
In April 2026, Glydways, Inc. raised USD 170 million in series C funding co-led by Suzuki Motor, ACS Group, Inc. , and Khosla Ventures, with participation from other investors Mitsui Chemicals, Gates Frontier and Obayashi. The company offers products including the Glydways mesh network transit system, which is a transit system that boasts the capability to transport up to 10,000 passengers per hour while reducing capital expenditure.
The firm also offers Glydcar, which is a personal urban vehicle that operates autonomously in dedicated lanes, accommodating up to four passengers directly to their destinations without stops. Glydcars are ADA-compliant and offer ample space for items like bicycles and luggage. The company will use the April 2026 funding to support geographic expansion through operational pilots, accelerate technology development of its next-generation vehicles, and grow talent and infrastructure to scale global operations.
