Retrospect Technology and Additive Mobility Announce Partnership to Advance Autonomous Vehicle Safety on Olli™ Platform
ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 17, 2026 — Retrospect Technology and Additive Mobility today announced a strategic partnership to integrate Retrospect's industry-leading RiskEngine™ technology into Additive Mobility's Olli™ autonomous vehicle platform. Together, the two companies are bringing a new level of safety transparency and accountability to self-driving mobility solutions — made possible in part by a grant from OFME, whose support is helping make real-time autonomous vehicle safety monitoring a reality.
"We are very excited to have the opportunity to engineer the functional safety and cybersecurity technology into the foundation of the Olli™ platform," said Michael Woon, CEO, Retrospect AV. "This work reflects a shared conviction that autonomous vehicle safety cannot be an afterthought. With RiskEngine™ embedded into the Olli™, we are demonstrating that safe, transparent AV operation is achievable today — and that the industry has the tools to prove it."
RiskEngine™ is the first independently developed, universally available safety metric for self-driving vehicles. Using a physics-based, first-principles framework, it continuously analyzes a vehicle's planned trajectories — evaluating real-time risk and detecting underestimates in risk before incidents occur. Unlike rules-based systems, RiskEngine™ provides continuous, objective, cross-industry compatible safety data that can be shared with regulators, road authorities, and the public without compromising proprietary IP.
Additive Mobility's Olli™ platform brings a proven, flexible, and modular autonomous vehicle to communities, campuses, and mobility corridors. Built on almost a decade of real-world development and engineering, Olli™ has been deployed at universities, innovation districts, corporate campuses, and controlled urban environments around the world. By layering Retrospect's RiskEngine™ into the Olli's systems, the partnership creates an AV that doesn't just drive autonomously — it drives accountably.
“The greatest challenge with introducing technology is creating trust, anyone in the autonomous vehicles industry knows this especially with establishing a foundation for safety," said Adam Flaster, CEO, Additive Mobility. "Retrospect's RiskEngine™ gives the Olli™ platform the ability to measure, report, and continuously improve safety performance in a way that's meaningful to operators, regulators, and passengers alike. This safety architecture is compatible with any automated driving system it is integrated with. Additive Mobility believes this partnership will provide momentum to move the whole industry forward and show Michigan can lead these efforts."
The collaboration addresses one of the most pressing challenges in autonomous vehicle deployment: the lack of a standardized, objective method for assessing AV safety in real-world conditions. With RiskEngine™, safety performance indicators can be continuously generated, monitored, and reported — enabling the safe and secure Olli™ platform to be used from demonstration to deployment using the proactive risk management and regulatory transparency that broader AV adoption will require.

The public will have two opportunities to experience the Retrospect-powered Olli™ firsthand:
• ACM Conference — April 28, 2026 | Ypsilanti, Michigan
•Michigan Tech Week: Future State — May 19, 2026 | Michigan Central, Detroit
Attendees are invited to see the vehicle up close and speak with representatives from both Retrospect AV and AdMobility about the technology powering it.
