Optimus Ride promises Autonomous cars with the 4th level of autonomy
The startup, founded by professionals with years of experience, graduates of MIT, plans to launch unmanned vehicles unique system of the fourth level of autonomy."We are going to build an unmanned vehicle or system, which is based on the 4th level of autonomy", — said the President of the company Sertac Karaman. The fourth level of autonomy assumes that the car is able to perform all functions without human intervention, but the driver can still take over.
The Boston company, staffed by professionals with 30 years of experience in the field of robotics, automation and electric, yet does not disclose details of his invention. They should appear in the coming months, but it is assumed that technology startups will be directed on development of mobility in General and not just creating a separate platform for automakers who want to equip their vehicles with systems of autonomy 4-th level.

While it is known only to the participants of the project: Director Ryan Chin, PhD, co-author of the invention of the CityCar, a light electric vehicle for the urban environment. Technical Director albert Huang, also a PhD, and worked in Google X as the lead engineer, as well as in ReThink Robotics. Finally, a graduate of the media lab at the Massachusetts Institute of technology Ramiro Almeida helped informed the development of the first metro line in Quito, capital of Ecuador.
"We have a great team that works on technologies that are important to all of us, says Karaman. — It's not just about building robots. There are people here with different experience."
The list of investors Optimus Ride is also impressive: Whether Hover from NextView Ventures, Amish Jani of FirstMark, joy ito from MIT Media Lab, also supported by startup companies such as Nvidia, Greycroft Partners, Morado Venture Partners, Uj Ventures, and Haystack.
Despite the optimistic forecasts, experts in the automotive industry suggest not to succumb to the universal hype about drones. Truly unmanned and Autonomous technologies will appear only after several decades, I believe in scientific circles. Another opinion — unmanned taxis only an intermediate stage of urban transport, the future of sharing cars car sharing. published
