A bridge technology aims to make self-driving cars safer until the bugs can be worked out of autonomous vehicles currently being tested.
Fernanda Galan Martinez Cronkite News LOS ANGELES — To the casual observer, this electric rental car whizzing by looks like yet another test of a self-driving car. After all, no one’s behind the wheel.
“We can make remotely controllable cars any kind of electric vehicle,” said Enn Laansoo, CEO and co-founder of Elmo, a car-rental company based in the small Baltic nation of Estonia that’s pioneering the technology. Plus, there’s a business advantage. Laansoo said having a remote operator move cars from one customer to the next creates cost savings while mitigating some of the danger of autonomous cars. Elmo aims to make rental car deliveries more convenient.
“Once you don’t need it … it’s serving another customer, so it’s in circulation,” said Raili Somelar, chief marketing officer at Elmo. “So it saves time and energy.” The process would be mostly the same. A remote operator could deliver your car by looking at a video screen. On the steering wheel, users can activate the transmission, headlights and windshield wipers.
