Ridecell Inc., a leading developer of complete research and development autonomous vehicle (AV) integrations, partnered with Dataspeed Inc., a recognized drive-by-wire solution provider to improve safety performance in autonomous vehicles. They decided to utilize the AV and drive-by-wire data from Self-driving road tests conducted by Auro, the self-driving division of Ridecell, to develop augmented safety solutions for autonomous vehicles. The companies will leverage their autonomous technology and knowledge to conduct new tests in real-time to enhance AV safety.
Dataspeed provides drive-by-wire control systems with worldwide vehicle integrations. The partnership with Ridecell will facilitate extensive data collection from Auro self-driving vehicles licensed in 2018 by California State for on-road testing. Ridecell has made AV safety its top priority and aims to combine its efforts with Dataspeed to improve safety for all drive-by-wire AVs.
The integration of Auro’s autonomous technology and the quality engineered drive-by-wire vehicle controls will improve not only AV data collection but also data logging and analytics. The feedback generated from the data analytics will be used to enhance the advanced drive-by-wire controls of autonomous vehicles. The verification and documentation of AV performance and safety will be done using rich data logging, which will allow third-party users to evaluate the efficiency of the integration in real-time environments.
The knowledge and expertise acquired by Ridecell in the shared mobility market and their comprehensive research will aid Dataspeed to speed up their product development. The collaboration with Ridecell aligns with the guiding strategies of Dataspeed and underpins the growth of AV on the mobility-as-a-service industry. Ridecell’s collaborative platform allows third parties to access data, real-time statistics, operational insights, and R&D tools to augment public safety.
Ridecell aspires to empower shared mobility operators, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), car rental companies, auto clubs, transit agencies, dealers, and private fleets to enhance their ridesharing services. The company specializes in the development of mobility cloud platforms for carsharing, ridesharing, and ride-hailing. The end-to-end integration enables the users to launch and operate mobility services efficiently, scaling revenues according to business growth. It has also provided a comprehensive suite of L4 on-vehicle software, sensors, and controls to facilitate autonomous vehicle operation.
