About the company

Glydways is reimagining what public transit can be. We believe that mobility is the gateway to opportunity-connecting people to housing, education, employment, commerce, and care. By making transportation more accessible, affordable, and sustainable, we empower communities to thrive and unlock economic and social prosperity.

Our mission is to revolutionize transit with a solution that delivers high capacity, exceptional user experiences, unmatched affordability, and minimal environmental impact.

The Glydways system is a groundbreaking network of carbon-neutral, interconnected transit pathways powered by standardized autonomous vehicles on dedicated roadways. Operating 24/7 with on-demand access, it offers personalized and efficient mobility-without the burden of heavy upfront infrastructure costs or ongoing taxpayer subsidies.

With Glydways, we’re building more than a transportation system; we’re creating a future where everyone, everywhere, has the freedom to move.

Meet the team:

As a part of the larger Autonomy Team, the Autonomy Integration group is responsible for the high level design of the overall system (both online and offline). The team is composed of C++ experts who are comfortable around the whole autonomy stack. We empower other autonomy groups (through tooling and design), develop the simulator (making sure it meets the needs of the org), maintain core functionality on-vehicle, add features to the vehicle safety system, and support drive testing of the Glydways vehicles. The Autonomy Integration team interfaces with many other groups across the org, including hardware and systems teams.
