Xconomy: Delphis Autonomous Vehicle Pilot to Test Mobility On-Demand in Singapore
Summary
According to a Delphi press release, the U.K.-based supplier with operations across the United States will provide a fleet of fully autonomous vehicles and develop a cloud-based “mobility-on-demand” software suite to power them.The Singapore LTA was particularly interested in participating in the pilot project because of the potential to ferry commuters between a mass transit station and their home or workplace.By addressing this need and making the journey easier, researchers hope to increase the number of people using mass transit, reducing overall traffic congestion and vehicle emissions.Delphi was selected as a partner because of its competency with safety technologies such as sensors and electrical distribution, which the company described as “building blocks for a fully automated vehicle.” In addition to Delphi’s Singapore office, the supplier’s facilities in Troy, MI, Kokomo, IN, and Mountain View, CA, contributed engineering, development, and support work to the driverless car pilot project.The company envisions a transportation future where autonomous technologies facilitate vehicle sharing, driverless bus or taxi services, logistics, and long-distance fleet platooning.
