According to foreign media venturebeat, NuTonomy, the world's first driverless taxi, defeated Uber and officially launched the world's first driverless taxi service in Singapore.
Founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2013, NuTonomy was originally a startup company that developed unmanned taxis and mobile robots from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The company raised 100 million investment funds in May this year. Investigated by US venture capital firm Highland Capital and EDBI, this month, NuTonomy revealed a pilot program with the Singapore Transportation Authority on unmanned taxi services and stated that the ultimate goal is to have no The taxi driving service is completely commercialized.
At present, the distance traveled by NuTonomy taxis is limited to 2.5 kilometers in Singapore's “One North†business district. Since April this year, the company has been conducting secret tests in this area. The current NuTonomy taxi experience plan is not It will be open to everyone. Citizens can use the NuTonomy APP to apply for a taxi ride experience for unmanned taxis. If the application is approved, you can get a free experience of unmanned Renault Zoe or Mitsubishi i-MiEV.
In order to ensure the safety of this immature technology, NuTonomy also provided an engineer to supervise in the driverless car. Looking back, in May this year, Uber also announced that it would conduct a driverless car test in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. But last week, a public statement was issued that will provide customers with a taxi service for driverless taxis this month, and a month is coming to an end. NuTonomy has already taken the lead in Uber's launch of the world's first driverless taxi service, NuTonomy. CEO and co-founder Karl Lagnemna said: “NuTonomy is the first in this driverless taxi service field, and our unmanned taxi software system is also unique. Through this test, we have collected many passengers. NuTonomy will use these feedbacks to make more improvements in the real experience environment, and strive to achieve full marketization of self-driving taxis in 2018."
In addition to Singapore, NuTonomy is also testing in the United Kingdom and Michigan. On the other hand, BMW is also working with Intel and Mobileye to build a fully automated driverless car by 2021, while GM is Lyft invested 3.25 billion yuan to jointly develop unmanned technology. Toyota formed a 50-person R&D team to develop unmanned technology and strategically invested in Uber. The Google team teamed up with Fiat Chrysler to build a driverless car. In China, Baidu also has developed its own driverless car project.
Although it is still unclear when the driverless car will be fully popularized, it seems that this seems to be an inevitable trend in the future.
