Tekcapital’s portfolio company Guident has announced another major milestone in the development of their electric autonomous vehicle technology with their selection to provide an autonomous shuttle service is Florida.
Guident has developed autonomous vehicle technology that utilises a Remote Monitor and Control Center (RMCC) to meet the safety requirements of autonomous vehicles.
Guident will implement this technology at the Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRiC) in Florida and deliver a 2-mile autonomous vehicle shuttle service that will connect the most frequented station in South Florida to the campus.
“We are delighted to have been selected to provide an autonomous and remotely monitored shuttle service for the Boca Raton Innovation Campus. The campus’ historic past and promising future make the perfect fit for our technology,” said Harald Braun, Chairman & CEO of Guident Ltd.
The Boca Raton campus was originally built in 1969 for IBM’s Research and Development and is home to the world’s first computer.
“We are pleased to have executed a letter of intent (LOI) with Guident to have them provide our autonomous and remotely monitored shuttle service throughout BRiC,” said Michael Perrette, General Manager of CP Group, the owner-operator for BRiC.
“Innovation and sustainability are driving forces for our business model. We look forward to partnering with Guident to contribute to these goals and the use of autonomous vehicle technology in the 21st century.”
