ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ACME AtronOmatic, LLC, the makers of the popular MyRadar weather app, announced today that it has acquired EndpointAI Inc., a weather technologies company, specializing in enhanced forecasting for surface transportation.
Endpoint, the brainchild of two applied meteorology experts hailing from the National Center for Atmospheric Research, showcases unique, machine-learning enhanced road condition and road risk forecasts with cutting-edge ground-truth validation.
ACME will leverage the technology and capabilities from Endpoint and integrate road condition forecasts into the MyRadar app for both consumer and commercial use, allowing users to obtain route-based weather for long-haul travel. Endpoint’s algorithms will be further enhanced by integration with MyRadar's patent-pending, industry-leading nowcasting service which provides hyper-local rain and precipitation forecasts with down-to-the-minute accuracy.
Additionally, Endpoint’s technology will be integrated into the MyRadar programmable API, allowing developers and industrial customers the ability to access road weather conditions for their own custom applications, including logistics, transportation and autonomous driving solutions.

'Endpoint has exhibited some best-in-class route weather analysis technology, and their road condition forecasts are a natural match for MyRadar's ecosystem,' said Andy Green, ACME CEO. 'We are incredibly excited to have the Endpoint team on board with us as we continue to grow and expand their system.” With regard to the future, he continued: “With the proliferation of autonomous vehicles on the horizon, there are incredible opportunities for innovation in this segment of weather forecasting, and we’re incredibly energized to dive in head-first as a leader in the space. We look forward to trailblazing with future applications and services.'
