About

About Minus Zero

Minus Zero builds a camera-led autonomous-driving stack for vehicle manufacturers operating in complex and weakly structured road environments. The platform combines self-supervised driving models with training infrastructure, photorealistic simulation, onboard runtime software, diagnostics, safety mechanisms, APIs and over-the-air update support.

The company demonstrated its approach through the zPod concept vehicle and is developing autonomous trucking applications with Ashok Leyland for ports, factories and corporate campuses. Its commercial model centres on integrating adaptable software into customers’ vehicle platforms rather than manufacturing a production vehicle itself.
