(Original title: Lyft sets up unmanned division to open network sharing technology)
On August 7, according to foreign media reports, Lyft, the American taxi application company, recently stated that the company will establish its own autonomous driving department, but the company’s practice will be different from other companies and other cooperation in the development of self-driving cars. partner.
Lyft, headquartered in San Francisco, said the company will open its own network and invite automakers and technology companies to use the technology to help drive passenger cars for their self-driving cars and collect data. Lyft can even share computer software and sensor technology.
Raj Kapoor, chief strategy officer of the company, said that Lyft is seeking an open strategy to bring the environmental and safety benefits of self-driving cars to market faster. He said that Lyft brought network experts to the negotiating table.
He said: "We believe that this is inevitable and that the world is moving toward autonomous driving. We need to play this role."
Like other technology companies and automakers, Lyft also works with companies such as Google's Waymo self-driving cars and General Motors. It does not want to produce cars, but wants to establish a standardized system on its network. First, the network will be open to Lyft's current partners.
How it will make money from this system has yet to be determined, but it may receive a passenger fee from everyone who uses its network or shares its system.
For example, GM, which has invested $500 million in Lyft, will be invited to run its own self-driving car on the Lyft network. Data collected by vehicles from General Motors and other companies will be used to help build high-resolution maps so that vehicles can travel on streets around the world. This data will also be used to develop computers that can autonomously drive cars.
Lyft calls it "Level Five," an industry term for a fully autonomous car. The company expects that by the end of 2018, there will be hundreds of employees working on vehicles in Palo Alto, California.
Currently, Lyft operates in 350 cities around the world. The company says that even if a driverless car is on the road, there will be a human driver in the driver's seat. In many places, detailed maps cannot be used to guide driverless cars, so human drivers are still needed.
Now, Lyft will not immediately deploy driverless cars on the road. The robot fleet will not be promoted in San Francisco on a large scale. At the beginning, users will see cars appearing in a small area and appear in isolated form to provide services for users. .
In fact, Lyft has cooperated with many companies in the past two years, and its rival Uber has already established its own driverless department and recruited many people from Carnegie Mellon University to develop autonomous driving technology. However, Uber has recently encountered a series of troubles, including Google’s lawsuit against Waymo, who believes that Uber infringed on the company’s patents. Although it later had a certain degree of settlement, Uber’s reputation was still damaged.
In the second quarter of this year, due to Uber's negative news, Lyft performed strongly in the US market, but its valuation was only one-sixth that of Uber. Lyft chose to open up a new path, opting to open the company’s automated driving network and profiting from it, which undoubtedly avoided the capital and competitive pressures of setting up a huge unmanned drive.
