More than a year after 1st announcing plans for a pilot robotaxi service in San Jose, Calif., Bosch and Daimler have launched the test program
More than a year after first announcing plans for a pilot robotaxi service in San Jose, Calif., Bosch and Daimler have launched the test program. A small fleet of Mercedes-Benz S-class sedans equipped with highly automated driving system are now carrying passengers in the Silicon Valley city.
Since the California public utility commission requires companies to get a special permit to carry regular passengers, the Daimler-Bosch cars are only carrying employees for now as most AV companies do. Daimler and Bosch hope to begin offering service to the general public in San Jose as soon as possible, but that’s not likely to happen until well into 2020 at the earliest.
Employees that want to use the service will use an app developed internally by the Daimler Mobility AG division of the automaker. As with most companies running these sorts of pilots, the goals of the test are to gain insights into user experience and better understand how robotaxis can fit into a multi-modal mobility ecosystem that includes mass transit and micro-mobility.
