Driverless robotaxis are set to hit the streets of Munich next year, courtesy of Israeli autonomous-driving technology giant Mobileye and partners.
Plans for the robotaxi service were recently unveiled at the IAA Mobility Conference in Munich. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger and Sixt SE Co-CEO Alexander Sixt announced the collaboration, which will see riders being able to hail a driverless cab using either the Sixt app or Moovit app.
The CEOs also unveiled the vehicles themselves, marking the first time Mobileye has displayed its fully integrated self-driving system in a vehicle to be used for commercial ride-hailing services.
“With strong logistics and operational partners like Sixt, Mobileye can bring the promise of full autonomy to life in cities around the world,” says Mobileye CEO Amnon Shashua.“We’re delighted that Germany is a first mover.”
