ThorDrive’s story began in 2006 when our founder, “The Professor” Dr. Seung-Woo Seo started the AI and Robotics lab at Seoul National University. A few years later, Dr. Seo’s team focused their research on autonomous driving and in 2016, launched their first autonomous vehicle, a robotaxi transporting passengers on the streets of downtown Seoul, South Korea. That very same year, ThorDrive was officially incorporated. In 2018, our expansion to the US was celebrated by the start of a successful last-mile delivery service in Silicon Valley. After completion of the last mile delivery project, the ThorDrive team moved to Cincinnati, Ohio to begin R&D for our most recent proof-of-concept focused on the transformation of ground support operations for cargo and passenger airlines.
Now headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, ThorDrive released our proof-of-concept autonomous cargo and baggage tractor in 2021 and has been operating at the Cincinnati/N. Kentucky Airport for over 3 years. Our technology is now expanding to nearby airports and cargo hubs, enhancing the safety, efficiency and sustainability in the aviation industry.
