Hexagon AB, a Sweden-based digital solutions provider with expertise in precision measuring technologies has announced the acquisition of AutonomouStuff, one of the world's leading suppliers of integrated autonomous vehicle solutions.

Founded in 2010, the US-based AutonomouStuff is a platform for autonomous vehicle development, robotics and data intelligence innovation.
