Cyngn Files Patent for DriveMod Kit, an Adaptive, Turnkey Autonomous Vehicle Solution

MENLO PARK, Calif., February 15, 2022 — Cyngn (or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CYN), a developer of innovative autonomous driving software solutions for industrial and commercial enterprises, today announced the filing of a patent for DriveMod Kit, the latest in industrial autonomous vehicle (“AV”) retrofit technology.

“DriveMod Kit is an all-in-one autonomy integration package. It enables the conversion of standard industrial vehicles into fully autonomous vehicles,” said Cyngn CEO, Lior Tal. “The kit contains advanced sensors and hardware components that streamline retrofit of industrial vehicles that customers already own, or installation into vehicles coming directly off of the assembly line. DriveMod Kit presents a truly scalable solution for AV technology integration.”

DriveMod Kit was developed by Cyngn to support faster and more cost-effective deployments of industrial autonomy solutions, thereby solving major scalability and adoption issues faced by companies interested in utilizing AV technology. DriveMod Kit simplifies what can otherwise be a complex installation process.

More broadly, DriveMod Kit represents a continuation of Cyngn’s ongoing effort to develop a suite of defensible and proprietary technologies to enable the rapid adoption of autonomous vehicle technology.

“DriveMod Kit is the latest addition to Cyngn’s more than 25 filed patents, which span a wide array of autonomous vehicle technologies,” said Biao Ma, Cyngn’s Vice President of Engineering and Head of Autonomy. “Our technology stack consists of more than 80 elements, which range from sensor fusion algorithms to data processing pipelines, and allow us to bring our self-driving solutions to a variety of industrial domains.”

In December, Cyngn hosted an AV Technology Webinar detailing the more than 80 different elements that use proprietary Cyngn autonomous vehicle technology.
