FERNRIDE is a Munich-based ground autonomy company focused on delivering scalable automation for challenging logistics environments. On its platform, FERNRIDE positions 'flexible ground autonomy' as a way to support multiple operational applications, including container terminals, yard operations, defence logistics, and open-road trucking. The company emphasizes 'human-centric' automation, describing a human–machine collaboration model that enables safe remote operation (autonomous) of vehicles rather than full autonomy with no oversight.
FERNRIDE states it helps improve productivity, safety, and sustainability by enabling logistics automation for moving cargo in places such as container terminals, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers. Through its approach of combining autonomy with teleoperation, the company aims to reduce risks, free up personnel, and maintain reliable operations across different operational design domains. The company also highlights deployment of its technology at critical infrastructure nodes supporting blue-chip customers.
