We build technology that changes the way the world moves. Our guiding principle is simple: the future of transportation is dynamic, shared public mobility — the kind that reduces carbon emissions across cities, compliments existing transit infrastructure, and provides equitable access to efficient, affordable ways of getting around. For everyone.
Cavnue is building smart roads for smart vehicles, and future-proofing the nation’s roadways. The interstate highway system defined mobility in the second half of the 20th century. Now, transportation is changing again. Mobility in the 21st century will be defined by intelligent, connected, and autonomous vehicles and while billions have been invested into developing in-vehicle technologies, only a small fraction has been spent on developing infrastructure to support and enhance advanced roads. We are the first company of its kind focused on designing dedicated roadways for CAVs, combining technology and road infrastructure to unlock the full potential of these vehicles. Ultimately, it is our company’s vision that drives our work: to build supportive infrastructure that will ensure safer roads, fewer casualties, reduced traffic congestion, and increased traffic efficiency. We are building the future of roads through innovation and collaboration with major vehicle manufacturers, road operators, and government. We believe collaboration on smart roadways and connected infrastructure is crucial to the success of a vehicle manufacturer-neutral technology platform that helps scale vehicle autonomy at all levels on public roads safely. In August 2020, we were selected by the State of Michigan to serve as the Master Developer for the nation’s first CAV Corridor. The initial deployment, which spans over 25 miles, will connect two major metros in Southeast Michigan and will eventually lead to a state-wide network. Since then, we have signed multiple letters of intent with leading road operators to pursue enabling infrastructure for passenger and freight CAVs. In April 2022, we closed our Series A capital investment round at $130 million to continue scaling the nation's first network of CAV corridors. Lead investors in the round were Ford Motor Company and Sidewalk Infrastructure Partners with additional investment from Openvia and Landstar—bringing together a leading global automaker, road operator, and freight logistics provider to invest in the future of roadways.

Empower’s mission is to transform the “Gig Economy” so that hard-working Americans can earn a sustainable living. This transformation begins with the rideshare industry. To do that, Empower has built innovative software that allows drivers to set their own rates and collect and keep 100% of the fare. Empower’s software also enables riders to indicate what matters most to them. By decentralizing pricing and providing riders with greater choice, Empower’s software is able to suggest the driver that is the best match for a rider, not simply the driver that is closest to them. Empower is revolutionizing the transportation industry. Not by providing transportation, but by selling software that puts transportation decisions back into the hands of drivers and riders. Empower provides the information and tools that drivers need to take control of their financial future and the choices that riders need to safely and affordably get from point A to point B. With Empower, both drivers and riders win. By getting rid of the middleman, drivers using Empower earn more and riders using Empower pay less. At the end of the day, Empower understands what the rideshare companies don’t: While there are no rides without riders, there are also no rides without drivers. At Empower, we believe that everyone has a voice and we are listening. Together we can EMPOWER!
