“Since the introduction of NeuBoat, the world’s first autonomous/ADAS solution for recreational boats, we have been eager to establish a presence in the U.S.,” managing director Paul Petani said in a statement. “This new location will allow us to continue the expansion of our team and better serve our existing customers, as well as foster the development of new partnerships. LMC offers an opportunity to be part of the premier yachting refit community.”
