Who we are:
At Glydways, we believe that mobility is a basic human right. Low-cost and ubiquitous access to affordable housing, employment, education, commerce and care lead to economic and social prosperity. As such our goal is to provide:
Public transit with the highest capacity, the best user experience, the lowest cost, and the lowest carbon footprint.
Our solution is a system of interconnected, profitable, and carbon footprint neutral transportation networks that uses standardized autonomous vehicles and a closed roadway. Together, they provide a 24/7 on-demand private mobility service without burdening the public with heavy upfront costs or annual system subsidies.
Meet the team:
Our Design team represents the rider and operator in every Glydways experience we build. We work on a range of design elements, including vehicles, apps, kiosks, stations, infrastructure components and operations centers. Our team is a mix of design, research, and prototyping experts. As we create a product that has never existed before, we constantly rethink, explore, and question our assumptions to find new solutions. We test our ideas through physical and digital prototypes to form strong, intuitive opinions that allow us to move quickly and confidently. We work closely with engineering to implement and refine our ideas, ensuring that our product delights our riders and operators.
