 4/24/19
At Tesla's "Autonomy Day" event earlier this
week, CEO Elon Musk said the company plans
to launch an autonomous ride-hailing service
called Tesla Network in the US by the end of
next year, reports TechCrunch.
Musk said that all new Tesla vehicles today are
built with hardware and computing power
necessary for fully autonomous driving. It plans
to push through a software update next year,
which will then enable its cars to function
autonomously.
The ride-hailing service — which will launch
once Tesla updates its cars' software — will
include both privately owned Tesla cars and a
fleet owned by Tesla itself. Musk said the
company will take a 25-30% cut of fees earned
from rides provided by privately owned Teslas.
He also added that the service will initially be
confined to a limited geographic footprint,
though he didn't specify where.
The bigger picture: We believe Tesla is
unlikely to meet its goal of launching an
autonomous ride-hailing service by the
end of next year.
The first barrier is Tesla's AV technology.
The company has eschewed LiDAR
sensors, a 3D image-sensing technology
that enables AVs to see the world around
them, in favor of cameras and radar to
help its AVs navigate.

 https://www.udelv.com/
https://www.computerworld.com/article/3252162/robotics/why-
we-re-getting-self-driving-delivery-before-self-driving-ubers.html
A Silicon Valley startup claims to be the world’s first real-world application of autonomous driving. If the
claim is true, it beat Waymo, Tesla, Apple, the global car industry and all the other Silicon Valley startups.
The startup is called Udelv. This week it delivered groceries to two customers of a local store called
Draeger’s Market. The delivery van drove autonomously from the store to the customers’ houses,
although (as required by California law) a “safety driver” sat in the driver’s seat during the delivery.
I talked to Udelv CEO Daniel Laury, and he told me the delivery was “a huge milestone.” Draeger’s Market
deliveries go online to the public “next week,” according to Laury. The “milestone” Laury refers to is
commercialization. He’s saying that Udelv is the first company to actually use autonomous vehicles for a
service that’s paid for by a customer (in this case, the grocery store).
Udelv’s model shows how autonomous deliveries could work on a massive scale.
Its custom, proprietary electric vehicles are basically robotic lockers. Each van has 18 lockers that can
carry a collective weight of 700 pounds. When the van gets within a few minutes of a customer’s house,
that customer receives an alert via the company’s free app (currently available on iOS, with the Android
version coming soon, according to Laury). https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/udelv/id1341233287
Once the van arrives, customers use the app to unlock the compartment that holds their groceries. The
Udelv fleet is monitored by a control room of humans, who can take over in “unique situations” and drive
the vans by remote control if necessary. Udelv monetizes with a simple model. It charges companies to
make deliveries. Its goal is to cut the cost of deliveries in half, according to Laury. Udelv also plans to
expand beyond Silicon Valley and seek out autonomous-vehicle-friendly states to set up shop in.

 Are You Ready to Fly Without a Human Pilot?
Pilot Training
Simulator

Automated flight controls go back to the 1920s and through World War II they had
rudimentary autopilots. As those autopilot features grew more sophisticated through the
20th century, flying also grew safer. Autopilot features vary by aircraft type and airline, with
some planes even able to land themselves under certain conditions. Southwest uses an
autopilot technology that assists pilots during every part of the flight, including descent.
Some think automation could obviate the need for human pilots, but experts say the
technology, the industry, and the passengers are not quite ready for fully autonomous
flying. Regulators are already taking steps toward downsizing the role of humans on the
flight deck, but advances in autonomy will be on the margins instead of earthshaking,

Autonomy Center in MA (http://www.boeing.com/company/key-orgs/aerospace-autonomy-research-center/).
 Platform for Unmanned Cargo Aircraft (PUCA)

PUCA aims to facilitate the development of unmanned cargo aircraft (UCA) and to
let its members play a meaningful and profitable role in this development
capitalizing on the strengths of its members: logistics, systems integration,
sensors and development of subsystems. UCA can be both cheaper to build and
operate as well as be more productive than manned cargo aircraft. The
advantages of UCA manifest themselves in particular with small planes where
they can open new markets currently deprived of high-quality transport.

 Platform for Unmanned Cargo Aircraft (PUCA)

In January, 2018 Boeing unveiled a new unmanned electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing

(eVTOL) cargo air vehicle (CAV) prototype that will be used to test and evolve Boeing's
autonomy technology for future aerospace vehicles. It is designed to transport a payload up
to 500 pounds presenting new possibilities for autonomous cargo delivery, logistics, and
other transportation applications. Powered by an environmentally-friendly electric
propulsion system outfitted with eight counter rotating blades it measures 15 feet long, 18
feet wide, and 4 feet tall, weighing 747 pounds.

Arizona’s Favorable Environment for Autonomous Vehicles
 Arizona as an Innovation Hub
Arizona’s Autonomous Vehicles Development & Deployment
• Executive Order allowed early testing of autonomous vehicles (2015).
• Executive Order allowed full deployment of autonomous vehicles creating an
environment supporting AV innovation while maintaining a focus on public
safety (2018). First AV fatality occurs in Tempe.
• Waymo currently deploying Tier 4 rideshare AVs with others to follow.
• Chandler changed zoning codes to be more favorable to ride sharing and
autonomous vehicles. Other Arizona cities following suit.
• Excellent weather combined with a lack of natural disasters.
• Availability of legacy automotive test tracks.
• Intel semiconductor fabrication facilities accompanied by their Automated
Driving Division and various R&D labs in Chandler.
• Further legislation enables autonomous package delivery from street vehicles
and sidewalk-travelling pedestrian-privileged bots.
• Advanced vehicle manufacturing in Arizona: shuttles by Local Motors, EVs by
Lucid Motors & semi-trucks by Nikola & TuSimple + underlying technologies.
• Arizona Commerce Authority established the Institute of Automated Mobility
(IAM, https://azcommerce.com/iam/) to create the future of science, safety &
policies regarding autonomous mobility in Arizona & beyond.
