I cover self-driving vehicles and robotaxis quite frequently as part of this job. In fact, I think we were using the term “robotaxi” before I saw it used by any other media outlet, and certainly before it had become an industry norm.
Following up on my article about Waymo’s automotive connections, here’s a piece briefly diving into who Mobileye/Intel has automotive connections with. One problem here is that it’s not clear with some of the older announcements if they are still valid, and if they are headed where initially envisioned. Let’s jump in.
News this month out of Japan is that Mobileye is partnering with WILLER, an unfamiliar name to an American like me but apparently “one of the largest transportation operators in Japan, Taiwan and the Southeast Asian region,” in order to launch robotaxi service in Japan, Taiwan, and elsewhere in Southeast Asian.
Ford says it has agreed to a partnership with Mobileye to use its camera-based detection technology to improve its electronic driver assistance systems.
NIO delivered 3,740 new cars in June and more than 10,000 cars in the second quarter. Both are company records.
Intel is trying to pull a few key (but large) pieces together in order to remain a tech leader in 2025, 2030, and beyond. The latest move was acquiring Moovit for $900 million.
The price of Nio shares has been a bit of a crap shoot since the company went public. But with major backing from Intel, one analyst thinks the company will survive and thrive in the future.
The Uniti One, with a 24 kWh battery and 300 kilometer range, will be available in the UK next year beginning at £15,100 after incentives.
The first confirmed upgrade to Tesla’s new Full Self Driving hardware version 3 took place today after a customer took his 2018 Tesla Model S P100DL into the Santa Barbara service center to get a new HEPA filter. After the service, Twitterer and longtime Tesla supporter Sofiaan Fraval noticed that a line on his service documents indicated that the new hardware had been installed at the appointment as well (h/t to Vincent for spotting this one).
