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.
