## About

Based in Germany, Driveblocks GmbH operates as a software development company offering the Mapless Autonomy Platform for autonomous driving of commercial vehicles without relying on high-definition maps. Based in Munich, Germany, and founded in 2021, Driveblocks GmbH operates as a software development company specializing in the autonomy of commercial vehicles. In December 2025, Driveblocks GmbH raised EUR 3.5 million in venture funding from FORWARD.one, Bayern Kapital and Rethink Ventures. The company provides a technology that empowers heavy-duty vehicles to detect objects and understand their surroundings without relying on high-definition (HD) maps. Driveblock's flagship software platform, Mapless Autonomy Platform, offers autonomous driving by offering a modular solution that enhances perception and sensor-fusion capabilities. This allows vehicles to operate independently of maps, ensuring scalability, performance in all weather conditions, as well as performance using transformer neural networks, and the ability to navigate GPS-denied environments like container terminals, mining, agriculture, and hub-to-hub logistics. Driveblocks GmbH generates revenue by selling its modular autonomous-driving software to commercial and off-road vehicle operators and OEMs, earning income through B2B software licensing, integration projects, and deployment support services. The company will use the December 2025 funding to develop its off-road AI perception software, complete safety certification, and start production work with vehicle makers and system partners.
