Kodiak Robotics: Quresh holds two patents. One is on low voltage power systems for autonomous vehicles in relation to the redundant power system design. “It guarantees that safety systems always have power for operation,” he says. The second patent is in electric power trains. “It was a controls algorithm that ensures that an electric bus or truck will never roll backwards when on a slope, so you don’t have to worry about hitting the person behind you in stop-and-go traffic when driving on inclines. Like in San Francisco, which is a very hilly city. The customer we did it for at Cummins appreciated the work,” he says.
