At MOVE America 2024, SHAED intern Rayyan Yunus caught up with Kanwar Singh, CEO of Skyline Nav AI, a company that’s turning the world of navigation upside down—by ditching traditional GPS.
“Instead of relying on GPS, especially in urban areas and mountainous regions, you can just take a picture—and that gives you a location back,” Singh explained. This game-changing technology is designed to solve a major pain point for commercial fleet operators, micromobility services, and autonomous vehicles that struggle with GPS accuracy in dense urban environments and remote areas.
Why It Matters for Commercial EVs
Commercial fleet operators depend on precise location tracking for everything from efficient routing to accurate charging station placement. But in urban canyons and GPS dead zones, unreliable signals can throw logistics into chaos. That’s where Skyline Nav AI comes in, using preloaded satellite reference data to pinpoint locations without relying on GPS signals.
Singh sees a strong future in integrating this technology with platforms like SHAED, which is already simplifying fleet electrification for businesses. “You’re solving problems for EV customers and making it easier for them to purchase EV fleets. That allows us to win, but more importantly, allows you to win along with your EV customers.”
Award-Winning Innovation
Skyline Nav AI’s impact hasn’t gone unnoticed—they were just named 2024 Startup of the Year at MOVE America. With recognition like this, it’s clear that better location intelligence is key to the future of mobility, whether for commercial fleets, commuter services, or micromobility solutions.
Looking Ahead
From delivery fleets navigating tight city streets to autonomous EVs operating in challenging conditions, accurate, GPS-independent navigation is critical for the next generation of mobility solutions. Companies like Skyline Nav AI are proving that innovation in location tracking isn’t just about getting from point A to B—it’s about unlocking smarter, more efficient transportation for everyone.
