The experimental system using autonomous electric vehicles—three Renault ZOE Cab prototype cars and a Transdev-Lohr i-Cristal shuttle—will be progressively made available to a panel of users to evaluate the requirements for scaling up an autonomous mobility service.

The company is working with leading taxi operators to serve local residents and Chinese tourists.

The companies will establish five joint ventures: REACH NOW, CHARGE NOW, FREE NOW, PARK NOW, and SHARE NOW.

Regulatory approval on merger of mobility services marks milestone for joint venture.

The service aims to achieve efficient vehicle maintenance using telematics data and a philosophy of eliminating inefficiencies.

Autonomous Vehicle Technology recognizes the most innovative technologies, products, and services of the year in our main areas of coverage: autonomy, connectivity, electrification, and mobility services.

The ride-hailing service app will offer an automated driving experience to a selected user community; test area will be San Carlos/Stevens Creek corridor between downtown and west San José.

The service will be offered in selected cities across China in 2019.
