Who We Are

Built on deep roots

Founded by a veteran of a strategy and technology firm with over 40 years supporting the U.S. Government and military, Autonovus brings rigorous analysis and deep curiosity to the public-facing frontier of autonomy. With deep roots in defense and unmanned systems, we bridge high-level strategy with hands-on experimentation, bringing over two decades of national security experience into the evolving world of autonomy.

We collect data from Tesla owners, passengers, and renters — mainly through the Turo car-sharing network — and from Tesla “wannabe” owners too. Whether you're brand new to Full Self-Driving or a veteran of it, we want to hear about your experience.

These aren't just trips — they're field trials, generating observational data and experiential feedback from real-world users. You and your input are the key to understanding.
