Glydways

Corporate marketmobilityCurated record

Glydways builds a Full-Flow Network transit system: compact autonomous electric pod vehicles (Glydcars) that travel on small dedicated guideways at high frequency, enabling on-demand point-to-point urban transit at claimed throughput of up to 10,000 passengers per hour per lane. The autonomy stack uses computer vision, sensor fusion, and centralised fleet orchestration software for coordinated multi-vehicle operation. The company was selected in 2023 for a San Jose Mineta International Airport connector contract (~$500M) and broke ground on its first publicly accessible system in Atlanta in 2025; three pilot networks entered public operation in 2026 across the UAE, greater New York area, and South Metro Atlanta.
