Beijing time on February 18th news, according to Reuters, citing two people familiar with General Motors (GeneralMotors) product plan, GM will produce and deploy thousands of unmanned electric vehicles from 2018, and with taxis The company Lyft launched a joint test.
This is expected to be the largest fully automated driverless car test conducted by mainstream automakers by 2020. Several companies have said that they will create and deploy driverless cars starting in 2020. In contrast, Waymo, a subsidiary of Google's parent company Alphabet, is testing 60 unmanned prototypes in four US states.
According to one person familiar with the matter, most of the universal driverless cars are modified by ChevroletBolt electric cars, which will be deployed to Lyft and tested in several states in the United States. According to the source, GM currently has no plans to sell ChevroletBolt unmanned electric vehicles to individual customers. Since GM has not announced the plan, people familiar with the matter requested anonymous reporting.
In the past year, GM executives have said in media interviews and shareholder meetings that the company plans to mass-produce a driverless car and deploy it to carpooling services. But these executives did not disclose details about the scale of production and when to deploy driverless cars.
GM said in a statement issued on Friday, "We will not provide any details about future product or technology launch plans. We have already said that our electric vehicle technology appears in on-demand shared network applications. Maybe earlier than you think."
Lyft declined to comment.
Universal dream
GM's rival Ford has previously said it plans to start manufacturing the first driverless cars at its suburban Detroit facility by the end of 2020 and deploy it to on-demand commuting services in 2021. Another competitor, FiatChrysler Automobiles, is offering Waymo a small number of ChryslerPacifica cars, and Waymo is transforming these vehicles into driverless test cars.
GM executive Mike Ableson said in an interview in November last year that GM's Maven car sharing operation may be involved in Lyft's operations, which will jointly develop a business around Bolt AV driverless cars. Take the business.
"If you want to guess the cost of these early driverless cars, the price will reach six figures, so there won't be too many retail customers willing to spend so much money." Aberson said, "but even the price So expensive, if you want to work with the carpooling platform, you can build a business."
GM CEO Mary Barra said in mid-December that GM will begin manufacturing a fully automated BoltEV at the OrionTownship plant in northern Detroit from early 2017. GM is testing about 40 Bolt AVs in San Francisco and Scottsdale, Arizona, and plans to expand the test to Detroit this year.
A year ago, GM invested $500 million in Lyft, the second largest American carpool company after Uber, to acquire a minority stake. Last year, GM also acquired the Francisco-based startup CruiseAutomaTIon, which aims to accelerate the development of driverless cars. In addition, GM also launched Maven, a car-sharing service, and began offering cars to Lyft. “In an urban environment, Cruise, Lyft, and Maven are contributing to building a magical on-demand bustling service network,†Aberson said.
