New investors Trustbridge Partners, Sistema VC and insurance provider Direct Line have led a series-B financing round for self-driving vehicle technology startup FiveAI.

The round also saw participation from existing investors Lakestar, Amadeus Capital Partners, Kindred Capital and Notion Capital.

The company will use the fresh capital to develop its vehicles and cloud-based technology further, according to a statement.

Amadeus Capital Partners led a $2.7m round for FiveAI in July 2016, with participation from Spring Partners and Notion Capital.

In September 2017, Lakestar led a £14m series-B round. Amadeus, Notion and Kindred also took part.

FiveAI has received around $77m in funding so far, according to a statement.

The company develops AI-backed autonomous driving technology, based on a cloud platform to manage performance and scale for system development. FiveAI currently has eight fully-equipped self-driving vehicles and ran its latest public road tests in Bromley, south-east London, in 2019. It has 115 employees, according to LinkedIn.
