The Renault-Nissan alliance tells Reuters that within 10 years it will introduce ride-hailing and ride-sharing services that feature self-driving electric vehicles.
Ogi Redzik, who heads the partnership’s connected vehicles and mobility services unit, adds that the launches won’t come before 2020. The carmakers are working with French transport provider Transdev and Japanese gaming software company DeNA on the enabling system architecture.
The shuttle services will operate over fixed routes and with preset pick-up and drop-off points, Redzic says. But he notes that such services will be possible only where jurisdictions permit driverless vehicles to operate.
