Logistics is a tough business. Severe driver shortages, high cost pressures and fluctuating demands are constantly threatening the logistics supply chain. Remote operators are the solution! Fernride is partnering with leading OEMs to enable the remote operation and full automation of driverless fleets - swap body or trailer trucks, forklifts, shuttles, or other vehicles.
Our unlimited and flexible workforce of remote operators allows you to dynamically meet peaks and troughs of demands. Fernride offers driving on demand - you only pay for remote operators when you need them, and they are creating value.
Our teleoperation solution allows one remote operator to monitor and operate up to 20 vehicles simultaneously, allowing for operative cost benefits of up to 85%. Our remote operators are located in centers all across the world in every time zone, which enables you to boost your vehicle utilization up to 100%.
Fernride is redefining the job of the driver who will evolve from a 1:1 remote operator to a highly effective fleet manager who assists up to 50 automated vehicles from the comfort of an office.
Fernride’s teleoperation solution seamlessly integrates into any vehicle type. Our certified remote operators are trained to operate mixed fleets - enabling truly driverless logistics.
Increase yard efficiency by integrating driverless yard vehicles into multiple use cases -swap body shunting, trailer shunting, milk runs and intermodal shuttle operations.
Intralogistics are crucial but difficult to automate. Teleoperation enables the integration of driverless forklift trucks into complex use cases like truck loading and unloading.
Bridge the automation gap of long-distance hauling by safely guiding automated trucks from the highway to your logistics centers through remote operation.
Our teleoperation technology enables the integration of driverless vehicles into the most difficult applications such as urban environments.
Background | I studied physics to understand the world better, then quickly found my way into computer vision and graphics. There is just something about visualization of abstract concepts that I find extremely cool, so I have been pursuing it both academically and professionally for the past 5 years.
Motivation | I started coding because I love to go from ideas to tangible applications. This is precisely what Fernride is doing, but to an ambitious scale.
Background | My background is in mechanical engineering where I specialized in development and design, however I always had a large passion for coding.

Motivation | Building up a Technology Company that will influence the lives of billions of people in an exceptional way by enabling a driverless future for everyone.
Background | I have several years of working experience in Tech-Startups and Scale-ups with a focus on working at the intersection of business and tech. In my Master’s Program, I specialized on Information Systems Engineering & Entrepreneurship, and published a research paper on the Internet of Things.
Motivation | Working at the cutting edge of technology together with smart and fun people who all believe in the vision of making a driverless future a reality and being able to challenge my own boundaries at a daily basis makes me jump out of bed every morning ready to take on the next challenge.
Background | I am a mechanical engineer with a PhD in distributed sensor systems and inventor of several patents. In my research, I always focused on commercializing my findings and after finishing my Postdoc, I have been taking an entrepreneurial path since 2018.
Motivation | Working together with fantastic people in a diverse, world class team, we are solving one of the largest challenges of the automotive and logistics industry with cutting edge technology.
Background | Theoretical computer science and math were my focus at university. Even before completing my degree, I started working on commercial software projects. With more than 10 years of experience in the field - automotive software knowledge, leadership skills and project management are now my most relevant assets.
Motivation | The success of our brave venture is founded on innovative, safe and potent software for teleoperation. Making it happen, striving for excellence and leading others - this is what drives me.
Background | Started developing video applications in 2004 for the TV/broadcast industry. Joined Vodafone in 2011 as Video system expert for encoding and streaming. Responsible for Video On Demand encoding platform, Content Delivery Network and End2End video quality delivery.
Motivation | Working with video technologies applied to automotive industry in a startup fast paced environment is really challenging but highly rewarding. With a small team of technical experts in different fields (coming from 10 different countries) we learn from each others and measure our progress every day.
