The Team

Ray Palermo, Founder-Pilot

Inspired by Giovanni's ethos and frustrated with the poor service inherent in the big 2 ride-share companies Ray launched Auto-Pilot.

His mission? Deliver seamless, secure rideshare experiences rooted in genuine connections to the community. With an unparalleled 4.99-star rating, driving isn't just a paycheck for Ray—it's his calling.

Off-duty, he immerses himself in the local car scene and masterfully conjures open-fire recipes on his brainchild, the Quad grill.

Giovanni, The Inspiration For AutoPilot

Before Uber was a “thing,” in the ancient town of Sezze near Rome, an unassuming hero emerged—a local “rideshare” driver. With his meticulously maintained vintage car, he became the essential link for townsfolk to the outside world.

This dignified man, exuded confidence earned through years of dedicated service. His mastery of the perilous, winding roads was innate, honed over decades of navigating the treacherous roadways built over 2,000 years ago.

He transcended the role of a mere driver; he was a respected figure known for unwavering commitment and reliability. Each journey was a testament to his knowledge of the area and his dedication to the safety and security of his passengers.
