Enhance autonomous safety and EV efficiency with road-level atmospheric data.

Beyond standard navigation systems

Standard weather data is insufficient for modern automotive engineering. A 10km grid cannot predict a fog bank on a specific highway bridge or aquaplaning risks on a winding road.

Weatherwise provides the environmental definition required for next-generation vehicles. By running models at 200m to 500m resolution, we resolve the interaction between the atmosphere and the road surface. This allows OEMs and fleet operators to anticipate conditions that affect vehicle physics, rather than just general ambient weather.

Beyond standard navigation systems

Autonomous systems and safety

Autonomous Vehicle (AV) sensors—LiDAR, Radar, and Cameras—are sensitive to atmospheric interference. Heavy rain density, fog particulates, and low sun angles obscured by cloud cover all degrade sensor performance.

Our high-resolution output provides specific atmospheric parameters to predict these "blinding" events. We help developers model safe operational domains (ODD) and fleet operators route vehicles around micro-climates that could trigger disengagement or compromise safety.

EV range and efficiency modeling

Accurate range prediction relies on more than battery chemistry. It requires precise inputs on aerodynamic drag (headwinds) and rolling resistance (road surface state).

We provide dedicated outputs for road surface conditions, including water film thickness, snow depth, and ice formation. Combined with precise wind vectors along a route, this data allows on-board software to calculate energy consumption with superior accuracy, alleviating range anxiety and optimizing charging stops.

Virtual testing and operations

We support the full automotive lifecycle. During development, our Hindcast data feeds virtual test tracks and wind tunnels, allowing engineers to simulate millions of miles under realistic, historical weather extremes.

For operations, our API delivers 15-minute operational forecasts. Fleet managers can download route-specific weather files to optimize logistics, while OEM backend systems can push critical safety warnings to drivers based on hyper-local threats.
