NuTonomy


NuTonomy is an MIT spin-off technology startup company that makes software to build self-driving cars and autonomous mobile robots. The company was founded in 2013.
In August 2016, it launched its robo-taxi service in Singapore.

History

NuTonomy began testing its software on cars in early 2016. One of the cars used to test its software included Mitsubishi i-MiEV. The product is still in research and development phase.
In August 2016, it launched its autonomous taxi service using a fleet of 6 modified Renault Zoes and Mitsubishi i-MiEVs.
NuTonomy later signed three significant partnerships to develop its technology and service: with Grab, with Groupe PSA, which is supposed to provide the company with Peugeot 3008 SUVs, and the last one with Lyft to launch a Robo-Taxi service in Boston.
In October 2017, Delphi Automotive purchased the company.

Technology

NuTonomy-fitted cars use "formal logic" to decide motion, maneuverability, and speed. The software guides a car on how to plan its motion through an environment.
