Automatic Labs

Automatic Labs was a connected-car company (the Automatic OBD-II adapter and companion app plus a developer platform / REST API for trip, vehicle, and driving-behavior data), founded circa 2011 and backed by a16z. It was acquired by SiriusXM in 2017 and wound down: the service and its developer API were discontinued around May 2020. As of this enrichment pass the automatic.com domain (and its api./developer. subdomains) 301-redirects to automattic.com, the unrelated WordPress company, so no live API, documentation, or developer surface remains to harvest. This profile is retained as a defunct a16z portfolio lead.

Automatic Labs is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Automotive, Connected Car, Telematics, and OBD-II.
