Overview
Faction Technology builds driverless electric vehicle fleets and autonomous mobility tools for urban logistics and last-mile delivery. Its DriveLink platform integrates data streams and safety features to enable driverless operation, while TeleAssist provides remote human oversight to intervene in complex situations, forming a supervised-autonomy hybrid approach. The company uses right-sized, three-wheeled EVs and partners with manufacturers like Arcimoto to integrate its software with clients’ order and fleet-management systems for cost-effective fleets. Its goal is to offer a readily deployable alternative to full autonomy that reduces urban congestion and supports last-mile and vehicle-on-demand services.
