Autonomous, battery-electric freight railcars — built by SpaceX alumni
Parallel Systems, founded by early SpaceX employee Matt Soule and based in Los Angeles, builds autonomous, battery-electric rail vehicles for freight — self-propelled railcars designed to move shipping containers more flexibly and economically than trucks or conventional trains. (Distinct from the unrelated AI company 'Parallel' / Parallel Web Systems already in this list.)
