Tarik Bolat is the CEO and Cofounder of GPR, the first and only company to use ground penetrating radar technology to advance safety and performance for advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle (AV) technology. Vehicles equipped with Ground Positioning RadarTM are able to localize with centimeter-level accuracy in any condition by mapping and tracking to subterranean data. Under Tarik's leadership, GPR technology has progressed from the lab to working with the world’s leading automotive OEMs. Prior to leading GPR, Tarik was the Executive Vice President at Renewable Energy Trust where he helped build one of the leading independent solar and wind power producers in North America. Tarik holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA from Columbia University.

GPR, the first ground positioning radar technology specifically designed for self-driving navigation, creates a 3-D map of the road's unique subsurface signatures, enabling new levels of safety and performance for advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle (AV) technology. As the most accurate and reliable vehicle positioning system at scale, GPR provides a solution to tackle the automotive industry’s common obstacles surrounding automated and autonomous operations on poorly marked road surfaces, off-road terrain, and in inclement weather. GPR enabled vehicles are armed with pinpoint accuracy— to the centimeter —even in the most challenging conditions. Initially developed for the U.S. military to navigate vehicles in unpredictable off-road environments, GPR is now used to reliably and safely support vehicle positioning and localization in consumer vehicles as well as in the trucking and delivery, warehousing, construction, utilities, mining, and agriculture industries.
