Demonstrationsprojekt

Singapur

nuTonomy, the leading developer of state-of-the art software for self-driving cars, today launched the first-ever public trial of a robo-taxi service. The trial, which will continue on an on-going basis, is being held within Singapore’s one-north business district, where nuTonomy has been conducting daily autonomous vehicle (AV) testing since April. Beginning today, select Singapore residents will be invited to use nuTonomy’s ride-hailing smartphone app to book a no-cost ride in a nuTonomy self-driving car that employs the company’s sophisticated software, which has been integrated with high-performance sensing and computing components. The rides will be provided in a Renault Zoe or Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric vehicle that nuTonomy has specially configured for autonomous driving. An engineer from nuTonomy will ride in the vehicle to observe system performance and assume control if needed to ensure passenger comfort and safety. (nuTonomy press release, 2016/08/25)

Plötzlich versagen die Bremsen (2016-08-30)
„Ende August nahmen im Stadtstaat Singapur die ersten selbtfahrenden Taxis ihren Dienst auf - eine Weltpremiere. Die sechs Autos fahren auf einem vier Quadratkilometer großen Forschungscampus feste Haltepunkte an, um Passagiere ein- und aussteigen zu lassen. Angefordert werden sie per Smartphone-App.“
