Autolane Launches OpenCurb OS For Curbsides

Palo Alto startup Autolane, founded in 2024, raised $7.4 million seed funding and launched OpenCurb OS in May 2025 to coordinate curbside movements for robotaxis and delivery bots. Early pilots at four Simon Property Group centers reportedly cut pickup times by about 50%, addressing the "last 50 feet" bottleneck. The system assigns stalls and arrival times, enabling retailers and fleet operators to scale autonomous services in busy urban settings.
