Navya, a French company
known for its self-driving shuttles, has taken the next step in autonomous vehicles by introducing a self-driving cab. At a splashy even in Paris, the company rolled out the
Autonum Cab,
a Level 4 autonomous vehicle designed without any interior features
that would allow a human driver to take control. In other words, there
is no steering wheel, mirrors, or brakes.
The company has been testing these vehicles on the streets of Paris and
says it is ready to start shipping them. That would seem to put it one
step ahead of Alphabet’s self-driving car unit, Waymo, which just announced testing of its own taxi service.
Unlike Waymo, Navya wouldn’t operate the actual service, but rather
wants to sell the taxis to local partners who would oversee the
transportation network.
