Boaz Mizrachi, Co-Founder and CTO of Tactile Mobility – Interview Series
- Boaz Mizrachi is the Co-Founder and CTO of Tactile Mobility. The company specialises in combining signal processing, AI, big data, and embedded computing to enhance smart and autonomous vehicle systems. Its technology enables vehicles to “feel” the road in addition to “seeing” it, optimizing real-time driving decisions and creating accurate, crowd-sourced maps of road conditions.
- Boaz with his team developed new software in the vehicle’s engine control unit (ECU) that allowed to generate new insights like current vehicle weight, tire health, and surface grip through “virtual sensors” that connected to the current vehicle set up and didn't require additional hardware.
- Tactile Mobility uses AI and machine learning to convert processed data from various hardware sensors (wheel speed sensor, accelerometers, steering and brake systems, tire sensors) into real-time insights, or “virtual sensors,” that convey information about the vehicle’s load, grip, and even tire health.
- The System enables adaptive functions, such as adjusting the distance in adaptive cruise control based on the current friction levels or informing drivers that they need to allow more distance between their car and the cars in front of them.
- Tactile Mobility’s technology helps in estimating the friction coefficient between the vehicle and the road resulting in real-time understanding of road conditions, enhancing safety and efficiency.
- Tactile Mobility operates through two technology solutions – VehicleDNA™ and SurfaceDNA™ – Virtual sensors focused on vehicles and surface respectively to provide a clear understanding of the vehicle’s performance limits on any given road, enhancing safety and efficiency.
- By leveraging this vehicle-specific data in the cloud, smart cars will be able to deliver an unprecedented level of precision in sensing and responding to its surroundings. This can lead to smarter cities as vehicles communicate with infrastructure and each other to share real-time insights, ultimately enabling a more connected, efficient, and safer mobility ecosystem.
- Boaz sees the next decade as an expansion of Tactile Mobility’s software in more OEMs globally, offering precise and impactful insights in the automotive industry.
