ã€Driver driver service will be implemented in Texas, USA in July】 Drive.ai, a start-up company engaged in research and development of driverless technology, announced on the 7th that it will launch a driverless car in July in Frisco, Texas, USA. Pick-up service.

Drive.ai said that the company will cooperate with the Frisco Transportation Management Association, the local traffic management department, to provide driverless pick-up services to more than 10,000 local retail, entertainment and business districts. The initial project will run for six months with a fixed location for getting on and off the bus. It is located around HALL Park and The Star Avenue, and will be extended to Frisco Station in the future. The project will be the first driverless car service to be open to the public in Texas.

Drive.ai said that this driverless service project is to solve the "last mile" problem in traffic, that is, "distance to walk too far, drive too close (or because it is too crowded and difficult to find a parking space)" distance Provide travel services between.
According to the project roadmap provided by Drive.ai, there are 6 pick-up locations for people to choose from. According to the introduction of Drive.ai, after the project is launched, people can install a mobile application on the mobile phone to call an unmanned vehicle. The usage method is similar to Uber and other shared travel services.
In the initial stage of the project, there will be a safety driver sitting on the driver's seat in the car and monitoring the operation of the vehicle throughout. However, Drive.ai said that he plans to quickly have the safety officer sitting in the passenger seat and experience the driverless driver together with the passengers. The process, and ultimately provides the driverless experience of only passengers in the car.
(Vehicle recognition takes precedence over aesthetics as a form factor)
Drive.ai said that in terms of the appearance of the car body, recognition is more important than aesthetic considerations. Every driver's car in Drive.ai is eye-catching outside of the body of the car, with the logo of Drive.ai and the word "driving car".
In order to solve the problem of unmanned vehicles communicating with other human drivers on the road, Drive.ai has an LCD screen on both the front and the front of the hood of the driverless vehicle to display the current status, such as in front of the sidewalk. Waiting for pedestrians to cross the road, the display will say "waiting for you to cross the road."

The founder of Drive.ai Wang Hao told reporters that the reason why Frisco was chosen as the first choice for the landing of this driverless service was due to the sound laws and regulations related to Texas autonomy, state, regional and municipal governments, and private cooperation. Both sides are very supportive of drones.
“We hope that Frisco's landing project in Texas can become a model,†Wang said. “Let's be able to replicate the unmanned vehicle service to more communities and cities, and hope that the experience and data from the landing project will further help us improve The algorithm forms a virtuous circle and realizes the positive feedback of technology."
In March of this year, Uber was killed by a driverless vehicle crash in Arizona. Last weekend, a vehicle under test conducted by Google’s Waymo was also involved in a serious car accident. The driver’s safety was again caused. widely. Wang Hao said that any traffic accidents, whether or not they involve unmanned vehicles, are unwilling to see them. Drive.ai will work to reduce traffic accidents and improve traffic safety.
Drive.ai was established in 2015. Its team members mainly come from Stanford University artificial intelligence laboratory. The company is mainly engaged in the development of fully-stacked 4-level unmanned technology. Wang Hao said that the company currently has a team of about 120 people. Multidisciplinary and cross-domain professional teams have their own core technologies in various submodules such as sensor fusion, cognition, decision planning, positioning, and offline simulation. Drive.ai plans to expand the team to 170 in the third quarter of this year.
Last year, Wu En, the former Baidu chief scientist and artificial intelligence expert, reached the directorship of Drive.ai. Wang Xi told Frontline that since the time of joining, Wu Enda has been very actively involved in all aspects of the company's affairs, especially in the strategic direction of the company. Many guiding suggestions.

Wu Daya said in an article published on Medium that day, “The driverless car is no longer a future artificial intelligence technology. It has already arrived and will soon make the traffic cheaper and more convenient.â€
Since its establishment, Drive.ai has completed two rounds of financing totaling US$77 million. There is currently no new round of financing plans.
