Fleet telemetry, battery intelligence, and autonomous validation: analytics across OEMs and suppliers without exposing driver data, vehicle identity, or proprietary designs.

The decryption gap is the moment data must be decrypted to be used. Institutional and government buyers.

Automotive and electric vehicle data centre for encrypted mobility analytics

What this looks like in practice

Situation, how Umbra runs it, and what changes for the team that owns the risk.

01

Fleet telemetry analytics without exposing driver or vehicle PII

Fleet operators and OEMs need utilisation, degradation, and safety analytics across thousands of vehicles. Telemetry carries driver behaviour, location correlates, and VIN-linked histories: export to a central plaintext lake violates GDPR and operator policy.

How it runs

Encrypted CAN and telematics streams ingest at the edge; aggregation, anomaly detection, and utilisation models run on Umbra N8 nodes in the operator's domain. Driver identifiers and precise location traces stay ciphertext through analytics; only encrypted fleet-level metrics release under operator key control.

What changes

Fleet intelligence without a driver-identifiable plaintext warehouse. Operators and OEMs collaborate on safety and utilisation models while privacy teams retain a defensible encrypted compute path.

02

Battery and thermal model training across OEMs and suppliers

Cell suppliers and OEMs need joint degradation and thermal-runaway models without sharing proprietary chemistry, pack design, or field failure detail. Plaintext pooling is commercially unacceptable; slow legal frameworks block model refresh.

How it runs

Each party contributes encrypted cell-cycle and thermal feature tensors. Federated training on shared Umbra nodes produces encrypted model updates; no participant receives another's plaintext design parameters or failure logs.

What changes

Better pack and BMS models without IP leakage. Supply-chain partners gain collective model quality while retaining sovereign custody of proprietary datasets.

03

V2X and charging-network analytics on encrypted streams

Charging networks, grid operators, and municipalities need joint load and session analytics for V2X and grid integration. Session data re-identifies drivers; networks resist plaintext export to utilities or city platforms.

How it runs

Encrypted session, load, and grid-correlate streams feed analytics on Umbra at network aggregation points. Peak forecasting, congestion models, and tariff optimisation run on ciphertext; outputs are encrypted aggregates for each stakeholder's key domain.

What changes

Grid and mobility integration without a driver-identifiable session lake. Stakeholders share analytical benefit while session-level privacy remains cryptographically enforced.

04

Autonomous perception model evaluation on encrypted sensor logs

OEMs and validation partners must benchmark perception models on real-world sensor logs without exporting raw camera, lidar, and radar captures: logs contain faces, plates, and proprietary scene data.

How it runs

Validation pipelines run encrypted inference and metric aggregation on Umbra against logged sensor tensors. Partners receive encrypted benchmark scores and failure-mode statistics; raw captures never decrypt outside the OEM's key domain.

What changes

Third-party and cross-team model validation without raw log export. Safety programmes accelerate while legal and IP teams retain control of sensitive captures.

Constraint

Why plaintext fails here

OEMs, fleet operators, charging networks, and Tier-1 suppliers hold telemetry, battery histories, and perception logs under GDPR, driver privacy, and fierce IP protection. Cross-company collaboration: battery model training, V2X analytics, autonomous eval: traditionally demands pooling plaintext or trusting a third-party lake. Lattice FHE cannot process fleet-scale streams; plaintext GPU paths decrypt driver and vehicle identifiers at the compute boundary. Regulators and consumers increasingly reject architectures where 'anonymisation' happens after extraction.

Approach

Ciphertext through the stack

Mobility data is simultaneously personal and proprietary. Fleet operators cannot send driver-linked telemetry to OEM analytics clouds; suppliers cannot expose cell chemistry features to competitors; charging networks cannot publish session data that re-identifies users. TEE and plaintext inference still decrypt inside the enclave: insufficient for multi-party programmes. Umbra processes encrypted streams and model tensors at 40M ops/s per U100 card, scaling to N8 nodes for regional fleet and supplier aggregation. Umbra runtime keeps computation on ciphertext throughout; RainDB and encrypted inference support the same SDK surface OEMs already evaluate on card before node deployment.

Why Umbra

Production FHE at rack scale

Automotive and EV programmes need cross-OEM analytics without a plaintext data broker: and lattice FHE cannot keep up with CAN-FD and perception-log ingest rates. Umbra offers a production path to full FHE that software lattices do not offer at rack scale: fleet telemetry analytics, federated battery modelling, V2X studies, and encrypted perception eval at node-class throughputs buyers can map to specs. Unlike trusted-execution stacks, driver and vehicle identifiers never resolve at the accelerator; unlike software FHE, workloads reach production timelines. N8 nodes at ~1.4 kW with standard airflow deploy in OEM and operator data centres without rack redesign.

How you buy cards

Sized from one card to multi-card packs

One U100 in OEM HPC → multi-card RainDB / ZChat packs beside existing GPUs → N4/N8 when ZipLogic delivers the rack unit.

Start

1 × U100 in OEM or fleet HPC: RainDB on encrypted telematics extracts, or single-card ZChat for private perception / BMS model eval.

Scale pack

Fleet and supplier packs: cards for RainDB concurrency across regions; ZChat reference (6 × U100 + 2 × NVIDIA GPUs) for encrypted inference beside existing automotive GPU clusters.

Institution path

N4 / N8 at fleet aggregation or engineering sites when the buyer wants ZipLogic delivery, not DIY integration.

Workflow

Edge encrypts CAN / session / sensor tensors → Umbra runs RainDB / ZChat / training on ciphertext → only fleet-level or partner-scoped aggregates decrypt under OEM / operator keys.

Deployment

How it lands

OEMs and operators typically evaluate on U100 cards in existing HPC or data-centre hosts, then deploy N4 or N8 nodes at fleet aggregation or regional engineering sites. N8 nodes operate at roughly 1.4 kW wall power with standard airflow: compatible with automotive and operator data-centre practice without rack redesign. Certified deployment includes survey, install, burn-in, and acceptance for production telemetry and model workloads.

Regulatory

What buyers ask next

GDPR, driver privacy, automotive cybersecurity regulations (UN R155/R156), and cross-border data rules shape architecture. Ciphertext processing reduces plaintext scope in DPIA and supplier audits. No FHE evaluation regime currently exists that can assess the scheme; formal certification is available customer-funded. OEMs and operators retain key custody and data-controller responsibilities.
