What’s new?
Mobilai, part of the Intel Group, adds Paris to its rapidly expanding test vehicle of the Autonomous Vehicle (AV), announcing its first on-demand autonomous service in Paris, in collaboration with the RATP Group, the third largest public transport operator in the world.
“As a leading operator of autonomous mobility, we are pleased to offer our client, Lafayette Gallery, a new mobility service, thanks to the integration of our knowledge with Mobilai. This is an opportunity for the RATP Group to test a new use case, autonomous vehicle service for companies, but also test For the purpose of possible integration with other means of transportation, such as buses or minibuses. “
Côme Berbain, Director of Innovation at the RATP Group
How It Works?
Mobilai has obtained approval for test drives in an autonomous vehicle, which now allow the company to operate its autonomous robotics on the streets of Paris.
Passengers taking part in the pilot will be among the first consumers to ride in Mobilai’s autonomous vehicle, and the first to order Robotexi through the Moovit widget, which will be at the center of Mobileye’s travel sharing service – Mobileov’s MoovitAV.
In partnership with RATP, Mobilai has organized an on-demand AV service that will give Gallery employees to Fayette Paris Hausman the option to request or schedule a commute to work using the Moovit widget four days a week. Each Mobilai autonomous test vehicle is capable of transporting two passengers simultaneously accompanied by a Mobilai safety driver and a RATP co-driver.
“Urban mobility is an integral part of today’s issues and must enable us to meet the challenges of a sustainable city,” he said. Alexander Lute, CEO of Lafayette Hausman Gallery. “It is essential to think today about improving and changing mobility, to plan for the future of city centers and allow Paris to continue to be a center of attraction. Therefore, as France’s leading department store, we are proud to join forces with Mobileye and RATP to participate in this innovative project.”
Why is this important?
With intricate road systems, and a high amount of pedestrians and traffic, cities like Paris pose a major challenge to both human drivers and autonomous vehicles (AV). They are essential examination areas for the development of safe, driver-free and convenient services on a global scale. Adding the French capital to the rapidly expanding array of Mobilai’s challenging test environments marks another important step in propelling the industry towards commercial readiness. Enabling customers to book their on-demand travel in an autonomous vehicle using the Moovit widget lays an important foundation for Mobileye’s planned robotic service – MoovitAV by gaining consumer awareness and confidence while gaining valuable insights and feedback from passengers.
“Autonomous driving on the streets of Paris is another milestone on the way to fulfilling our vision of mobility for the masses with the help of autonomous driving. We are pleased not only that we have received a permit to examine the technology, but also that we have gained strong partners in Paris,” he said. Johann Youngwirth (Johann Jungwirth), Vice President of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) at Mobilai.
In addition to test drives in New York City this year, Mobilai is also operating test fleets of autonomous vehicles in Munich, Detroit, Tokyo, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv And China. The company is expected to launch a commercial robotics service under the MoovitAV brand in Munich and Tel Aviv in 2022, after obtaining regulatory approvals.
