Daimler and Bosch start an automated ride-sharing service. It takes place in the greater Stuttgart area as well as in San Jose in the USA.
The pilot project had already been announced in the summer, but the test area had not yet been determined. Now a corresponding letter of intent has been signed with the megacity in Silicon Valley, it said on Thursday.

The test is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2019 and will show how an entire fleet of autonomous vehicles can be integrated into a city's transport network. As with a mixture of taxi and car sharing, users order a vehicle that comes to them automatically and takes them to their destination autonomously - only accompanied by a security driver.
Close cooperation between employees
Employees of both companies work desk to desk in order to achieve a quick exchange across fields of work. At the same time, the employees have access to the entire know-how of their respective colleagues in the parent companies.
The aim of the cooperation is to jointly develop concepts and algorithms for a fully automated and driverless driving system of levels 4 and 5. While Daimler brings the driving system into the car and provides the necessary development vehicles, test equipment and test fleets, the components such as sensors, actuators and control units come from Bosch. Daimler has been testing automated vehicles in the Sunnyvale / California region since 2014.
