Inkampani yaseBrithani yobuchwepheshe be-embodied intelligence uWayve imemezele namuhla ngesikhathi sendawo ukuthi ibambisene no-Uber ukwethula eLondon insizakalo yokuqala yaseBrithani ye-Robotaxi enomqaphi. Lokhu futhi kungukuthunyelwa kokuqala kwezentengiso kukaWayve.
Izimoto zokuqala ezingu-15 iFord Mustang Mach-E ezihamba nonogada bezokuphepha zizonikeza insizakalo ezindaweni zaseLondon ngaphandle kwezikhumulo zezindiza. Isikrini esisebenzisanayo ngaphakathi ezimotweni sisekela izilimi ezingu-64. Abagibeli akudingeki bakhokhe ithiphu.
U-Alex Kendall, isikhulu esiphezulu kanye nomsunguli obambisene noWayve, uthe:
Siyaziqhenya kakhulu ngokuthi sikhona lapha -- eLondon, okuyikhaya lethu futhi engenye yezindawo zokushayela eziyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu emhlabeni -- ukwethula okokuqala emphakathini i-Wayve AI Driver. Ubuchwepheshe bokuzishayela buzohambisana nohlelo lwezokuthutha oluthuthukile lwale dolobha. Njengoba siqala ukusabalalisa le nsizakalo emhlabeni wonke ngokubambisana no-Uber, sijabule kakhulu ngokuthi izakhamuzi zaseLondon zizoba ngabokuqala ukuzwa lobu buchwepheshe.
Ngokombiko we-Bloomberg, lezi zinkampani ezimbili zisebenzisa imodeli yokubambisana kwezentengiso lapho u-Uber ekhokhela isoftware ye-AI Driver kaWayve ngokusekelwe ekusetshenzisweni kwayo. Izinkampani ze-Robotaxi ezifana noWayve kusamele ziqede uchungechunge lwezinqubo zokuthola izimvume ngaphambi kokunikeza insizakalo ye-Robotaxi engadingi mqaphi eLondon, eBrithani.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Bloomberg yabalula komunye umbiko ukuthi u-Uber uphume ezimakethe ezimbili zase-Afrika, iNigeria ne-Uganda, njengengxenye yokudiliza abasebenzi okungu-10% emhlabeni wonke.
