nuTonomy new action, road test in Boston at the end of the year
The founding company took the lead in testing in Singapore in August and launched the world's first driverless taxi. Now nuTonomy has a new move, and announced that it will be driving test in Boston at the end of the year. Briefing on the company, nuTonomy is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, looking forward to a fully self-driving fleet of services, including Ford Motor's Bill Ford Venture Capital. Technically, NuTonomy has strong support from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Cambridge in the UK. In the automotive manufacturing process, the company also cooperates with French Renault and Mitsubishi. The economic development department directly under the Singapore government also provided financial and policy support. In August of this year, it was the first to test in Singapore, before the famous car service manufacturer Uber, the latter announced in September that Pittsburgh in the United States to provide self-driving car service. On Monday, NuTonomy announced a contract with the City of Boston and the Massachusetts government to test unmanned self-driving cars on Boston Road at the end of the year. The road test vehicle will be the Renault Zoe electric car with the company's self-driving software. The initial test will be a cycling test conducted at Raymond L. Flynn Marine Park in the southern industrial area of ​​the city. This test is mainly for the adaptability of NuTonomy autopilot technology to the test environment, such as how to deal with bad weather and pedestrians. NuTonomy said that during the test, a driver will sit in the driver's seat control system to control the vehicle if necessary. This time I chose Boston for testing. In addition to the near-water tower, nuTonomy headquarters is located outside of Boston, and because Boston has terrible traffic, the maze of roads left by the alcoholic colonists, the cold winter, and one Studies have shown that Boston has the most potent drivers, collecting these elements to make Boston the perfect unmanned vehicle test site. The narrow roads are crowded with pedestrians and trains. When it snows, it is like hell. It is difficult for a car's camera to recognize lane markings and street signs. "We will face unprecedented challenges," said co-founder and CEO Karl Iagnemma. "If you're in Boston, New York, Singapore, or Phoenix, you have to develop the software," Iagnemma said. This may mean slower acceleration, shorter parking time at the stop sign, or adjustments based on local road conditions and laws. In addition, Boston is very supportive of the technology of driverless. In October, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and Governor Charlie Baker established a policy to support the unmanned car business. The locals are also very interested in this matter. There are top universities such as MIT in the local area, and Highway 128 is called the local Silicon Valley. Currently, Google's unmanned vehicle program is the most technologically advanced and has traveled more than 2 million miles on public roads. However, Google has not yet clarified this business strategy. Technically, nuTonomy's system is similar to Google's. A series of sensors, lasers, and cameras are installed in the car, and images are taken and fed back to the computer to learn road navigation. This system is like a teenage driver and needs to improve driving skills through practice. At present, the world's driverless systems are difficult to identify roads in snowy days, and nuTonomy will face this test. The city of Boston will give it a test of rain and snow. nuTonomy has tried to drive in the rain in Singapore. In August, I chose to test in Singapore because Singapore has a good regulatory and judicial environment. But nuTonomy is not specifically developed for Singapore, Iagnemma said the company is looking to run tests in other cities and will announce test sites around the world in the coming months.
