About Sparrow

The world of eMobility is exploding, with new entrants to the market every week. All these new players suffer from the same challenge of complexity and time it takes to develop connected telematics, cloud and HMI systems.

Sparrow is an ambitious, funded UK-based automotive startup developing a next-generation hardware and software platform designed to address these challenges by enabling the rapid development of automotive HMI systems and cloud-based API-driven services.

Headed up by key team members behind the Aura Concept Car (auraconcept.co.uk) and experienced business owners. Sparrow is being developed in response to the highly complex and outdated HMI/driver information/infotainment systems that are currently available on the market. Built with modular hardware and software architectures and based on the Android Automotive OS, Sparrow will be the go-to HMI and cloud services choice for automotive and eMobility products.

Based from our offices in Central London and supporting hybrid remote working, Sparrow is now looking for initial key hires that are excited by the opportunity of creating a new high-tech automotive product from the ground up.
