Before we jump into the news, only a quick housekeeper. I am keeping the “wheel of this week” in Hyatus for a few weeks as I arrive at EVS, Hybrids, E-Bike and Robotaxis. Stay!
A little bird
Wemo San Francisco has reached an agreement with the Airport Commission – and expands the city – to use its vehicles for the airport roadways map. The news has received a huge coverage because of the possibility of permission to extend its robotuxi service at the airport. Now, it only cover the mapping and the vehicles will be manually driven.
Some small birds shared with us Terms of AgreementWhich includes two important issues. A source described these as “discount”. And probably these terms will appear in the future agreement.
According to the agreement that TechCrunch has seen, Wemo has agreed to share the data after each mapping session. This “data interface agreement” enters the airport as soon as it enters the airport and tracks its vehicles and supply the geographical location, identification, trip identifier, transaction type, driver-based unique identifier and vehicle license plate number, according to the agreement.
The contract forbids Wemo to use autonomous vehicles to remove commercial products. There is no more self-driving truck program in WiMO, but this national language is important for groups like Temsters.
