Collaboration deploys premium automotive engineering, manufacturing and software defined architectures to enable next-generation mass transit systems IRVINE, Calif., June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Karma Automotive, America's only full-line ultra-luxury vehicle manufacturer, and Line Mobility, a mobility innovator pioneering elevated, on-demand transportation networks, today announced a strategic partnership to advance the future of urban transit. Through this collaboration, Karma Automotive extends its deep resources in technology, premium performance, and software including AI-defined mobility to Line Mobility's revolutionary transit platform. Line Mobility's revolutionary on-demand autonomous transit vehicle platform utilizes a patented, rapidly deployable, elevated "guideway" network to move passengers from point-to-point faster and more safely than robotaxis or conventional transit systems. The company's unique solution removes the complexity of open operating environments that pose the highest threat to safe autonomous vehicle deployment; and also mitigates the high infrastructure cost of surface level and subterranean transit systems through the use of prefabricated overhead guideways. The result is higher-speed transit that operates above street level, reducing urban congestion and improving quality of life in cities across North America, and beyond. Utilizing Karma Automotive's performance and software-defined architecture and its operational foundation which is supported by more than a decade of development and production, Line Mobility is able to deploy its solutions using the latest in zero-emission vehicle technology. This zero-emissions approach improves air quality and reduces the environmental footprint of cities, college campuses, airports and more. This partnership is the second validation point in Karma Automotive's broader technology strategy of leveraging its leadership in the premium mobility sector to catalyze a new frontier of technologies for the greater good; the company's recently- announced partnership with Factorial Energy to advance the production application of solid-state and semi-solid-state battery technology is the first. Karma Automotive will provide Line Mobility with engineering services including battery technology and
