Ride-hailing giant Lyft Inc. and Aptiv plc, which was spun off from Delphi Automotive last month, plan to demonstrate a fully automated ride-hailing shuttle for attendees at next week’s CES electronics show in Las Vegas.
All rides will start from the Las Vegas Convention Center, where CES is held, with service to more than 20 destinations along the city’s main strip. A backup “safety” driver will ride in the front seat to take control in case of an emergency, and an in-car host will accompany the vehicle to explain the technology.
Aptiv also tested an automated shuttle at last year’s CES. That program was conducted on a 6.3-mile driving loop along a mix of city streets and highways.
This year’s test vehicles will include technology from Aptiv’s NuTonomy unit, which the company acquired in October. Last summer NuTonomy launched a partnership with Lyft to test self-driving cars in Boston. Aptiv aims to commercialize its technology by 2019.
