Perceptive Automata develops software aimed at helping automated driving systems understand the states and intentions of nearby human road users. Its product, SOMAI (State of Mind AI), uses a visual-psychophysics framework to enable vehicles to assess the awareness and intent of pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users, supporting quicker and safer decisions. The company targets the deployment of highly automated vehicles (Levels 2–5) and serves OEMs, suppliers, and autonomous-technology firms that build or integrate ADAS and autonomous driving systems. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, and founded in 2016 by researchers from Harvard and MIT along with software engineers and ML experts, Perceptive Automata sits within the software development segment of the autonomous driving ecosystem. In May 2021 it announced availability on the NVIDIA RTX A6000 platform.
