🚀 ClearMotion: Motion cancelling for cars
Ride smoother and more comfortably
Imagine noise cancellation but for motion in cars. Today’s startup ClearMotion minimizes unwanted vibrations to make riding smoother and more comfortable.
⚾ The Elevator Pitch
The countless forces constantly acting on a car’s body can make a huge difference on the productivity, performance, and safety of modern vehicles. While the bumps and vibrations that enter a car may seem small, they compound. Motion cancellation can be a real game changer in quality of ride.
ClearMotion aims to make your ride as smooth as possible with a combination of mechatronics and software. They replace a car’s shock absorbers with powerful, fast-acting software and actuators that push and pull each wheel, creating the smoothest ride you can imagine.

🔍 Why we like it
⚡ Small Optimizations → Big Market
Let’s take a look at the noise cancelling industry. The market size was $12.1B in 2021 and is expected to grow to $45B by 2031. It’s quite simple – consumers flock to products that provide better quality and enjoyment, and noise cancellation headphones and earbuds provided exactly that. It has transformed the way people listen to music. ClearMotion aims to do the same with motion cancellation. Right now most drivers can’t imagine a bump-less ride, but when it becomes a widespread reality, drivers won’t be able to imagine driving without motion cancelling.
🚚 Scalable and flexible
ClearMotion’s active suspension technology was designed with broad market adoption in mind. Their software-centric electrohydraulic device, Activalve, sits at each corner of the vehicle and constantly monitors, processes, and responds to road conditions. It was designed as a one size fit all device that can be attached to various vehicle platforms. You don’t need us to tell you that the car market is a large one. ClearMotion is definitely casting a wide net with their technology and setting themselves up for future wide adoption.
