Mobileye goes one step further in the development of its autonomous driving platform by announcing to have started testing its cars equipped with this technology inside the city & agrave; of New York . This is a novelty; important as the streets of this city & agrave; they are particularly busy and complex to manage for an autonomous driving platform. For Mobileye this is an opportunity to further refine its technology thanks to the data it will obtain; from these new tests.
DIFFICULT ROADS
The system will have to; manage difficulties; of viability of the streets of New York where drivers drive much more; & quot; aggressive & quot; compared to other cities. Cars will have to drive on very dangerous roads full of roadworks, pedestrians, cyclists, bridges, tunnels and double-parked cars. Situations that could put you in difficulty an autonomous driving platform. However, Mobileye chose New York precisely for these characteristics.
Driving in complex urban areas such as those of New York is; a crucial step to verify the skills; of an autonomous system and bring the sector closer to commercial launch.
Note that usually & egrave; difficult to see self-driving cars on the streets of New York since it is; complex to obtain permits seems due to strict regulation for these cars. Mobileye & egrave; the only company currently in possession of a public road test permit for this city. Indeed, in 2017, Cruise announced & ograve; the intention of wanting to test its self-driving vehicles on the streets of Manhattan but the project was canceled without much explanation. Optimus Ride, based in Boston, has tested autonomous shuttles in Brooklyn, but only on private roads.
Precisely for these difficulties; regulatory, companies working on this technology are experimenting with their vehicles elsewhere, in places where the laws are more & ugrave; favorable. Currently, Mobileye is using two cars in New York for its trial. In the coming months, this number will rise. to seven. The company & agrave; is testing autonomous vehicles in different cities & agrave; around the world to prepare for a future launch of a robotaxi service. Last April, Mobileye stated that it will propose; a driverless car delivery service starting in 2023.
