Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAH3.XE) said Wednesday it has invested in U.S. mobility and roadside-assistance startup Urgent.ly.

The German auto maker said its venture capital arm, Porsche Ventures, has taken part in a financing round amounting to $21 million for Urgent.ly. The venture-capital divisions of Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW.XE) and Jaguar Land Rover also obtained shares in Urgent.ly, Porsche said.

Urgent.ly's platform supports roadside-assistance services in North America, Europe and Asia through artificial intelligence and geo-location, Porsche said.
