- nuTonomy will seamlessly integrate
its self-driving software and sensor system into the new PEUGEOT
3008 SUV for on-road testing later this year.
- The ultimate goal of the partnership
is the deployment of thousands of fully autonomous cars in cities
worldwide.
Regulatory News:
nuTonomy, the leading developer of state-of-the-art software for
self-driving cars, and Groupe PSA (Paris:UG) today announced a
strategic partnership through which nuTonomy will seamlessly
integrate its sophisticated software system into customized PEUGEOT
3008 SUVs for on-road testing of fully autonomous cars in
Singapore. The PEUGEOT 3008 SUV was recently named 2017 European
Car of the Year.
Under the initial phase of the partnership, nuTonomy will
install its software, along with specialized sensors and computing
platforms, into PEUGEOT 3008 SUV vehicles that have been customized
by PSA’s innovation teams. nuTonomy expects to complete the
integration of its autonomous vehicle (AV) system this summer, with
on-road testing of the self-driving 3008s beginning in Singapore in
September.
Seamless integration of AV software with vehicle hardware is
viewed by both companies as a critical step toward deploying
driverless cars at scale, over extended life cycles. This
partnership provides an opportunity for both companies to study
autonomous vehicle system performance, as well as the end-to-end
user experience of an on-demand AV mobility service in urban use
cases.
This collaboration bolsters Groupe PSA's ambition of becoming
the preferred mobility provider for customers worldwide, as
described in the company’s strategic plan “Push to Pass” issued in
April 2016. This collaboration, which is being implemented under
the Groupe PSA’s “Autonomous Vehicle for All” (AVA) program, will
bring to market on-demand mobility solutions offering full
autonomy.
Anne Laliron, Head of the Business Lab, Groupe PSA, said, “This
collaboration is a significant step towards fully autonomous
vehicles, which will enable us to offer different mobility
solutions to our customers. We are excited to work together with
nuTonomy’s team of software and robotics experts to make the
concept of self-driving PSA cars more and more concrete.”
Karl Iagnemma, CEO and Co-founder of nuTonomy, said, “We’re
confident that working with Groupe PSA will bring us closer to our
goal of deploying a safe, efficient, fully autonomous
mobility-on-demand transportation service for urban driving
environments. We look forward to future collaboration opportunities
with PSA.”
Following the initial phase of this partnership, the companies
will consider expanding their on-road AV testing initiative to
other major cities around the world. Groupe PSA’s Business Lab and
Innovation Division are launching this collaboration to identify
and evaluate new business opportunities, particularly in the
Mobility and Digital fields.
nuTonomy has been conducting public trials of an on-demand AV
mobility service in Singapore since August 2016. The partnership
with Groupe PSA expands nuTonomy’s test fleet, which operates in
one-north, the AV test bed designated by the Singapore Land
Transport Authority (LTA). Singapore actively supports the
development of new mobility solutions, as it seeks to embrace a
growing population while maximizing the efficient use of
infrastructure. nuTonomy’s founders and the LTA have been R&D
partners in the development of commercial AV services since
2010.
