Ghost Autonomy, a startup working on autonomous driving software for automaker partners, has shut down, TechCrunch has learned. “We are proud of the substantial technical innovations and progress the Ghost team made on its mission to deliver software-defined consumer autonomy,” the note on its website reads. “The path to long-term profitability was uncertain given the current funding climate and long-term investment required for autonomy development and commercialization. We are exploring potential long-term destinations for our team’s innovations.”The shutdown comes just five months since the startup partnered with OpenAI through the OpenAI Startup Fund to gain early access to OpenAI systems and Azure resources from Microsoft. Like so many startups trying to commercialize autonomous vehicle technology, Ghost has shifted its approach over the years.

“Maximizing Product Design Efficiency with Luminary Cloud’s GPU Simulator”

Simulations are an essential step in physical product engineering. “Luminary’s real-time engineering approach empowers engineering teams to perform product simulation and analysis cycles in minutes, rather than weeks,” Lango said. [This] results in improved time to market, faster insights, better design outcomes, increased team productivity and better use of valuable physical prototyping dollars.”AI-leaningLuminary isn’t exactly first-to-market with a cloud-based engineering simulation tool. Lango met Alonso during summer 2019 through Sutter Hill Ventures, the private equity firm, where Lango was an entrepreneur in residence. Sutter Hill sees a lucrative future in Luminary, evidently, as the startup’s customer base eclipses 33 organizations across the automotive, aerospace and defense and industrial equipment sectors.
