- ByStartupStory | January 7, 2023
On Saturday, Ather Energy, a homegrown electric vehicle company, announced the release of ‘AtherStack 5.0,’ the most significant upgrade to its software engine that powers the vehicle.
AtherStack is the software engine that powers “every single user experience on the Ather 450X”. It is built on a number of interconnected layers of software, firmware, system intelligence and algorithms.
“AtherStack 5.0 will be powering a brand new user interface (UI) for the dashboard in addition to launching vector maps powered by Google,” the company said in a statement.
“With a fluid new UI and Google Vector Maps, AtherStack 5.0 takes our touchscreen and maps experience to a whole new level. It also enables us to leverage our hardware to unlock new experiences such as Auto Hold,” Mehta added.
The new upgrade gives the dashboard a new look and an even more intuitive UI, which improves the overall user experience.
Quick controls have also been added, which allows users to easily adjust settings such as brightness or turn off incoming call notifications with a single click.
“Ather is the only scooter in the world providing onboard navigation powered by Google. With the new AtherStack 5.0, the UI will also feature vector maps, which are far more smarter and intuitive than the previous versions,” the company said.
Ather Energy is a Bangalore-based Indian electric vehicle company. It was founded in 2013 by Tarun Mehta and Swapnil Jain. It produces two models of electric scooters: the Ather 450X and the Ather 450 Plus. It has also established Ather Grid, a nationwide electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
“In 2018, when we launched AtherStack in Ather 450, it was the first ever software engine on any two-wheeler in India, probably even globally,” said Tarun Mehta, co-founder and CEO, Ather Energy.
