Bosch and Daimler launch automated driving pilot in California

Bosch and Daimler are to trial an autonomous shuttle and a fleet of automated vehicles on select routes in California, during the second half of 2019. The move is part of a drive to develop automated and driverless SAE Level 4 and 5 capabilities. Daimler Mobility Services is expected to operate the fleet as well as the app-based service. The project is intended to demonstrate how services such as carsharing, ride-hailing and multi-modal platforms can be intelligently connected. US technology company N

311 Bosch and 2069 Daimler are to trial an autonomous shuttle and a fleet of automated vehicles on select routes in California, during the second half of 2019. The move is part of a drive to develop automated and driverless 567 SAE Level 4 and 5 capabilities.


Daimler Mobility Services is expected to operate the fleet as well as the app-based service. The project is intended to demonstrate how services such as carsharing, ride-hailing and multi-modal platforms can be intelligently connected.

US technology company Nvidia will supply its artificial intelligence platform to support the partnership’s control unit network.

The network collates and evaluates data from the sensors with radar, video, lidar and ultrasound technology and plans the movement of the vehicle.

    Automated parking offers optimised space utilisation and fewer damage complaints as David Crawford discovers. As cars become smarter, technology designed to make parking them more straightforward is developing in parallel. In turn, it is becoming clear that the places where vehicles spend much of their time will need to respond – more comprehensively than by supporting established aids such as smartphone-based parking location and reservation, or payment for time used.
