Cyngn secures its 22nd U.S. Patent for its AI-powered autonomous vehicle technologies

Cyngn Inc. (the "Company" or "Cyngn") announced the official granting of a new patent, 12,246,733, for the Company's innovative autonomous vehicle (AV) solutions.

The patent, System and Methods of Off-Board Centric Autonomous Driving Computation, introduces a cloud-based approach to autonomous vehicle operation, distributing computing tasks between the vehicle and the cloud to significantly reduce onboard hardware requirements. Vehicles transmit sensor data to cloud servers, where functions like environment mapping, decision-making, and route planning are processed before driving commands are sent back for execution. This allows the vehicle to prioritize safety-critical and time-sensitive functions.

The significance of this patent lies in its ability to enable lighter, more cost-effective autonomous vehicles while enabling sophisticated driving algorithms. Furthermore, the patent includes fleet management functionality, facilitating seamless coordination of multiple autonomous vehicles through a centralized cloud infrastructure.

“Since August 2023, we’ve been granted twelve additional patents, bringing our total to 22 U.S. patents,” said Lior Tal, CEO of Cyngn. “This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to driving innovation and advancing autonomous technology, as we continue to build out a robust patent portfolio to protect our intellectual property. Each new patent represents the hard work of our team and our dedication to developing real-world solutions that are transforming material handling."

The grant of this patent marks a significant milestone in Cyngn's intellectual property strategy, further bolstering its position in the AV industry. This success follows Cyngn's recent patent issuance announcement of its 21st patent.

Cyngn provides its customers a seamless way to adopt self-driving technology into their operations without high upfront costs.
