AID与Cognata的交易可谓恰逢其时，以色列将国防军用技术及计算机系统安全技术重新部署到无人驾驶车辆中，Cognata去年募得资金8.14亿美元。

而英特尔、大陆、三星、戴姆勒、福特、通用等公司则采用并购或建立自主研发中心的方式获取以色列当地的技术。Cognata的竞争对手Metamoto在2017年共募得了500万美元。

Cognata的投资方包括：Maniv Mobility、法雷奥、空客集团风投公司（Airbus Ventures）及Emerge。

The AID deal with Cognata, which raised $814 million last year, comes ata time when Israel is redeploying defense military technology and computer system security technology to driverless vehicles.
