Ukuhlola irobhothi eduze komugqa e-Vegas ngezixuku ezidakiwe nezibani ezikhanyayo kanye nebhubesi eliphunyuka ngezikhathi ezithile kubonakala kufana ngokwemvelo. Uma bekwazi ukusingatha lokho, amanye amadolobha kufanele abe nomoya oshisayo.
I-Uber yenza i-robotaxis itholakale kumakhasimende ayo ukuze idumise e-Las Vegas, okuzoba njalo eqhutshwa yi-Motional njengengxenye yesivumelwano seminyaka eyi-10. Njengoba kuhlale kwenzeka ngalezi zinhlobo zezindaba, i-robotaxis (ngakho-ke sihamba naleli gama?) izofaka abashayeli bezokuphepha ngemuva kwesiteringi ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi imoto ayinandaba namajethi Bellagio noma yini. Kodwa imoto isazosebenza ngohlelo lokushayela oluzimele lweMotional.
Ingabe uyamcenga umshayeli wezokuphepha? Ungakwazi yini ukubanikeza isiphuzo? Ingabe bayakhuluma? Isikhathi sizosho.
I-Motional iyibhizinisi elihlanganyelwe phakathi kwe-Hyundai ne-Aptiv, futhi ilandela ukwethulwa kokudiliva okuzenzakalelayo nge-Uber Eats e-Greater Los Angeles. Ngeke ibe khona imali yokugibela abagibeli njengamanje, kanti iMotional ithi ihlela ukuhoxisa abaqaphi bezokuphepha ngo-2023.
I-Motional njengamanje inesivumelwano esifanayo nembangi enkulu ye-Uber, uLyft, kodwa hhayi neyodwa enama-gondola emseleni ophambi kwe-Venetian. Kunezinhlelo zokunwebeka eduze nelinye idolobha elinelanga lapho kungandile ukunetha khona, eLos Angeles.
“Namuhla, i-Motional iba inkampani yokuqala ye-AV ukuqhuba ugesi ozimele kunethiwekhi ye-Uber kubagibeli bomphakathi,” kusho u-Akshay Jaising, iPhini Likamongameli we-Motional of Commercialization.
“I-Las Vegas ingeyokuqala kwamadolobha amaningi lapho ama-AV e-Motional ezoba inketho yezokuthutha yansuku zonke kumakhasimende e-Uber afuna ukugibela okuphephile nokufanelekile.”
Labo abacela ukugitsheliswa bazonikezwa imoto ezihambelayo, futhi uma beqinisekisa ukuthi kuzovela i-hatchback yakwaHyundai Ioniq 5 ezishayelayo, enamamonitha amabili okuphepha ngaphakathi, kanye nenqwaba yengxoxo engalungile egunyazwe u-Uber.
