Oxa’s Post

Self-driving shuttles, driven by Oxa and operated by Beep, are now on the road in Lake Nona within the Orlando, Florida city limits.  Helping to cut congestion and carbon emissions, these electric, autonomous shuttle systems are boosting economic growth and connecting more people, to more places. Contrast that to recent research showing a huge number of urban taxis run empty, with data suggesting 70% of taxi trips in Seattle were without passengers. US statistics for passenger shuttles are very different, with these shared vehicles running with passengers for 86% of the time on average. The numbers strengthen the already compelling case for a transition to more sustainable mobility solutions.

Level 4 Autonomous Shuttles in Germany 👀 Live traffic testing of Level 4 autonomous shuttles in Darmstadt, Germany, has been announced - thanks to a collaboration between Deutsche Bahn and Mobileye. 🌐 For the first time, these shuttles are navigating normal road traffic autonomously, pushing the boundaries of driverless technology. Under the Kira project, 6 AVs will soon operate in Darmstadt and Offenbach, supported by Deutsche Bahn, Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund GmbH, HEAG mobilo GmbH, Kreisverkehrsgesellschaft Offenbach mbH and the German Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport. 🚌 The test phase, running through to the end of this year, aims to enhance mobility and pave the way for nationwide autonomous shuttle services. How do you see autonomous shuttles transforming urban mobility in the near future? #AutonomousVehicles #Innovation #SmartMobility #FutureMobility #TransportationRevolution #TechInGermany

Are EVTOLs and Self-Driving Vehicles Really the Future of Transportation? Questioning either seems to make one a pariah in the tech world, but industry experts have some doubts about whether either technology really has a place. We spoke with Jeral Poskey, Google’s head of transportation planning before spinning off his project as CEO of Swyft Cities. What did he have to say about AVs? #AutonomousVehicles #technology #transportation #selfdrivingcars #mobility

What are the first robo-taxis going to look like? 🤔 Most experts predict we'll see 'cozy mobile lounges on wheels'. Sounds like a vehicle where the daily commute might actually be enjoyable. #AutonomousVehicles #robotaxi #selfdriving

We’re on the road in Lake Nona, located in Orlando, Florida! The new, autonomous, electric shuttle service in this Orlando community is driven by Oxa's self-driving software. This is our second deployment in the US with our partner Beep, Inc., a leading provider of autonomous shared mobility solutions and services. I’m really excited to see that our decade of innovation and refinement is helping companies like Beep continue to provide safe, efficient and sustainable passenger solutions. You can find out more about the shuttle, our software and how it was developed in my new blog. You’ll find the link to the blog in the comments section below. #UniversalAutonomy #AutonomousVehicles #FutureMobility

Did You Know? Robotaxis: Transforming Cities and Redefining Travel Ready to ditch the car and relax on your commute? Robotaxis are hitting the streets, offering a driverless experience in cities like Los Angeles, Phoenix, and San Francisco. Who's leading the charge? Companies like Waymo and Zoox are at the forefront of autonomous ride-hailing, with plans to expand to Austin and Miami soon. But it's not just about convenience. Robotaxis are all-electric, meaning cleaner air and less traffic congestion for a greener future in our cities. Of course, there are challenges. But companies like GM's Cruise unit are making significant progress, and public acceptance of self-driving cars is on the rise. Get ready for a transportation revolution! Advanced self-driving technology will make shared mobility easier than ever, while promoting safety and sustainability in our cities. Buckle up, the future is here! #DidYouKnow #Robotaxis #UrbanMobility #SustainableTravel #AutonomousVehicles #FutureofTransportation #Innovation

💡 In #Oxfordshire, UK, transport stakeholders along the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) corridor in the region concluded two pilots that successfully utilized the ANTME Platform developed in FRONTIER. 🏙️ 🌱 The first of the two pilots integrates Connected and Autonomous Vehicles into traffic management and control systems by sending updates to the vehicles on events or incidents that will affect their routing. The second pilot helped commuters avoid incidents or events affecting their journey to work, providing simulations and response plans minimising disruptions arising from roadworks, severe weather or collisions.   Known as the Autonomous Network and Traffic Management Engine (ANTME), the smart collaborative platform is revolutionising traffic control by addressing traffic incidents – such as roadworks or collisions – across different modes of transport. The platform provides response plans and minimises response time to traffic events, resulting in reduced travel times and more resilient transport networks 🌍 🚗🚌🚇   Learn more about the #ANTMEPlatform 👉https://bit.ly/3UhEB6M   #FRONTIER_eu #H2020 #HorizonEU #MissionCities #EUmissions #TrafficManagement #NetworkManagement #Transportmanagement #multimodaltransport CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency

Post A2RL’s inaugural race, ASPIRE brought together several industry experts, partners that are industry players, and stakeholders at the WB hotel on Yas Island to discuss the future of autonomous technology. The conference highlighted crucial insights on advancements and challenges associated with the largest extreme autonomous race. #A2RL #ASPIREUAE #AutonomousRacing #Innovation ASPIRE

Recently we watched a fantastic panel with leaders in the transportation space, including Jimmy Douglas the CEO at PLUG, for the Climatebase Fellowship. Given that Jimmy also spent years at Tesla I messaged him trying to understand where we're at with automated vehicles (AVs) and safety. To my surprise Jimmy told me that the data exists to show that AVs are already safer than cars driven by humans and that the sector is simply dealing with a perception issue. I was left wondering if this is the case and what could be causing the issue. Jean-Francois Belanger just did a 6.5 minute feature on the national news CBC on driverless taxis in San Francisco. While the companies behind the taxis claim these AVs are safer than those driven by humans, no where in this piece did Belanger ever show a comparison between human drivers and AVs. This seems like the most important thing that's needed in this kind of story. If AVs are indeed safer, this gap in reporting could be what's holding the sector back. https://lnkd.in/g-RjPbVA
