OpenAI-backed Ghost Autonomy shuts down


The startup, which had raised nearly $220 million, posted a note on its website that it ended worldwide operations and wound down the company as of Wednesday.

“We are proud of the substantial technical innovations and progress the Ghost team made on its mission to deliver software-defined consumer autonomy,” the note on its website reads. Hayes told TechCrunch back in 2021 that the startup hadn’t completely closed the door on the consumer kit model, but had turned its attention to universal collision avoidance technology in an effort to get to market faster. Hayes, who was reached Wednesday via email, said the company had completed a highway driving product and were moving in urban environments through what he described as “long-mile delivery.”
