# Phantom Auto

**APIs profiled:** 0

Phantom Auto was a Mountain View, California and Ra'anana, Israel teleoperation company founded in 2017 by Shai Magzimof (CEO) and Elliot Katz (CBO) that built a remote-driving and remote-operation platform letting a human operator monitor and drive a vehicle from thousands of miles away over bonded commercial cellular links. It launched aimed at robotaxis and self-driving trucks as a safety fallback for autonomous vehicles, then pivoted in 2019 to logistics — remotely operated forklifts and yard trucks that have no autonomy of their own, plus autonomous sidewalk delivery robots — and signed customers including Maersk, CJ Logistics, ArcBest and Serve Robotics. It raised roughly $95M in total from Bessemer Venture Partners, Maniv Mobility, InfraBridge and strategic investors ArcBest and ConGlobal, closing a $25M round in 2023, and acquired Swedish low-latency video streaming company Voysys AB in October 2022. Phantom Auto ceased operations on 12 March 2024 after a funding round fell through, laying off its roughly 100-120 remaining employees. The company published no developer portal, public API reference, SDK, or machine-readable specification (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL SDL, MCP manifest or agent card) while it operated, and its primary host phantom.auto no longer resolves in DNS at all. This profile is retained as a historical record; there is no API surface to enrich.
