Transport for NSW has announced it will be taking the next steps in its autonomous vehicle trial by working with driverless technology firm Motional to investigate and develop a plan for using driverless rideshare services.
Transport for NSW customer strategy and technology deputy secretary Joost de Kock said the plan would lay the foundation for future robotaxi services.
“We’re excited to be working with Motional to start laying the foundation for a driverless future in NSW. Today’s studies may very well shape how our communities move around in years to come,” he said.
Speaking at the virtual Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2021 on Tuesday, De Cock outlined that adopting connect autonomous vehicles would “improve the safety and efficiency of our road network and ultimately save lives”.
