Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 03:10, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

added Testing and operations, the history by company can be removed?

I added a section title Testing and operations, put all the listed tests in there and added the others I found with citations. I think this gives a clear sense of the scale and spread of testing, but it could be improved. Testing is focused on the US and China at the moment with only one small test in Russia.

The Other developments section and details at the start of Current status are all becoming dated. There doesn't seem to be any reason for separate sections for Uber since information about its trial is contained in the chronological list.

The Tesla section could also be removed but the "prediction" of Tesla moved to the top as it goes with the continuously deferred full roll out of self driving cars and autonomous shuttles. Tjej (talk) 06:41, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mobileye

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

The company Mobileye has recently announced 3 new robotaxi projects in Norway, Croatia and Germany with partners Ruter, Verne and Deutsche Bahn that would be good additions to the page.

Could these projects be added to a new 'Notable Commercial Ventures' section? Gideon at Mobileye

This is my proposed text:

In January 2023, it was announced that Mobileye will supply self-driving vehicles “equipped with necessary software,” part of a self-driving public transport service pilot in Oslo, Norway, with Ruter and Holo. In March 2023, it was published that the goal was to have a fleet of 50 fully autonomous vehicles to Oslo's roads by late 2024 or early 2025.

In June 2024, Croatia’s Rimac announced its Robotaxi service Verne, set to be launched by in Zagreb 2026. Mobileye Drive was announced as the autonomous platform that will power the project.

In July 2024, Germany’s Deutsche Bahn announced on-public-road testing of its KIRA project taking place in the Rhine-Main region. Initially testing six self-driving NIO ES8 SUV taxis fitted with Mobileye Drive. It was also reported that the vehicles will have no passengers on board at first, and the “cars will drive themselves, with a safety monitor behind the wheel and will also be supervised remotely at a control center.”

Not done: Request seems promotionally intended, repeatedly installing the name of the editor's company directly into this article. I do not see that the name of the company involved is at all relevant to the material proposed above. Axad12 (talk) 08:06, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Axad12, it wasn't my intention to be promotional - rather to include the latest robotaxis projects on the page (they currently aren't mentioned at all on the page).

I removed Mobileye's name from the text and would like to suggest these 3 shorter sentences to add:

January 2023, Ruter and Holo launched a self-driving public transport service pilot in Oslo, Norway.

June 2024, Croatia’s Rimac announced its Robotaxi service Verne, set to be launched by in Zagreb 2026.

July 2024, Germany’s Deutsche Bahn announced on-public-road testing of its KIRA project taking place in the Rhine-Main region. Initially testing six self-driving NIO ES8 SUV taxis. Gideon at Mobileye (talk) 10:08, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tesla's Robotaxi

@WaddlesJP13: Tesla's Robotaxi is referred to in its official marketing as Robotaxi with a capital R, so the disambiguation template is warranted. Jpatokal (talk) 02:41, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
