Israeli automotive technology firms are reshaping driving safety, EV charging, and shared mobility, and several are backed by real deployments rather than pitch decks. Nexar's dashcam network now predicts collisions an average of 4.9 seconds before impact, according to research the company published in October 2025. Here are five worth tracking, and why each matters.
What Is Nexar Doing in AI-Powered Driving Safety?
Nexar turns everyday dashcams into a shared vision network, then uses the footage to train AI models that predict crashes before they happen.
In October 2025, Nexar unveiled BADAS, short for Beyond ADAS, an AI model trained on tens of billions of real-world driving kilometers gathered from its dashcam network. In its published research, the model predicted collisions an average of 4.9 seconds ahead of impact, a result reported by Israel Electronics News. Nexar is positioning the model as a licensable layer for automakers, insurers, and cities, rather than building its own vehicle.
How Is Trailze Solving Navigation for Scooters and Bikes?
Trailze builds a navigation engine built specifically for micromobility, since standard car-focused maps do not account for bike lanes, curb cuts, or scooter-specific hazards.
The Tel Aviv company's SDK has been integrated into ride-share fleets including Bird's Bird Maps pilot in Paris and Tel Aviv and later partnerships with Flamingo and Joyride, according to NoCamels and company announcements. Trailze CEO Ronen Bitan built the platform after finding that standard mapping tools left scooter and bike riders with no purpose-built routing.
Can StoreDot's Battery Actually Charge an EV in Minutes?
StoreDot's extreme fast-charging battery cells are built to add significant driving range in a matter of minutes rather than hours, without requiring new charging infrastructure.
In December 2025, StoreDot signed a definitive agreement to merge with Andretti Acquisition Corp. II, creating a new publicly traded company called XFC Battery, according to EVinfo.net. The deal values StoreDot at an $800 million pre-money valuation, and the Herzliya-based company counts Daimler, Volvo Cars, Polestar, Ola Electric, and Samsung among its backers.
Is Parkam Still Solving the Parking Problem With Cameras?
Parkam uses existing CCTV cameras rather than new hardware to track parking spot availability in real time, then predicts which spots will still be open by the time a driver arrives.
The company's computer-vision system has tracked roughly 1.4 million parking spots across Israel, Australia, Brazil, Dubai, and the Netherlands, according to a Car and Driver report. Israel's broader smart-parking push continued in September 2025, when Tel Aviv opened its first public robotic parking garage on Bograshov Street, a separate automated project built by Israeli company Parkomat that quadrupled the lot's capacity to 224 spaces, as Ynetnews reported.
How Did GoTo Global Scale Shared Mobility Across Europe?
GoTo Global lets riders book cars, mopeds, bikes, and scooters through a single app and membership, competing on convenience against owning a car in dense cities.
The company went public on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in 2022 through a reverse merger, reaching a combined market cap of $163 million, after acquiring German shared e-moped operator emmy to enter the German market, according to TechCrunch. At the time of its public debut, GoTo operated a fleet of 5,800 vehicles used by more than 450,000 subscribers across Israel, Spain, Malta, and Germany.
The Bottom Line on Israeli Auto-Tech
Each of these five companies attacks a different piece of the same problem: cars are unsafe, slow to charge, hard to park, and expensive to own outright. Nexar and StoreDot are proving out their technology with named automotive partners, while Parkam and GoTo Global are already running in cities today. Watch which of these companies converts a pilot or a SPAC filing into recurring revenue next.
