Overland AI

In modern contested environments, the military relies heavily on moving supplies and personnel across unpredictable, off-road terrain, frequently putting warfighters in harm's way simply to execute logistics. While autonomous vehicle technology has made strides on paved roads, off-road autonomy has remained a profoundly difficult physics and engineering challenge. Drawing from a decade of collaboration with the U.S. Army and the DARPA RACER program at the University of Washington's Robot Learning Lab, founder Byron Boots and his team launched Overland AI. Their flagship OverDrive software is a vehicle-agnostic autonomy stack that enables unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) to navigate complex, off-road terrain at high speeds, even in GPS-denied environments.

Cubit Capital backs Overland AI as a crucial frontier technology working to secure safety for all. By proving that highly capable autonomous systems can operate reliably in the most chaotic environments, Overland AI fundamentally removes the human risk from dangerous ground missions, saving lives and transforming how the U.S. and its allies project power.
