San José, California, USA - November 09, 2018 - Located on the southern shore of San Francisco Bay in Silicon Valley, and with more than 1 million inhabitants, San José is the third biggest city in California. It is planned to be the pilot city for trials, targeted to begin during the second half of 2019, of the highly and fully automated driving (SAE Level 4/5) on-demand ride-hailing service recently announced by Daimler and Bosch.

San José, California, USA – November 09, 2018
Located on the southern shore of San Francisco Bay in Silicon Valley, and with more than 1 million inhabitants, San José is the third biggest city in California.
It is planned to be the pilot city for trials, targeted to begin during the second half of 2019, of the highly and fully automated driving (SAE Level 4/5) on-demand ride-hailing service recently announced by Daimler and Bosch.

The three parties have signed a memorandum of understanding to pursue and finalize this activity.
Using automated Mercedes-Benz S-Class vehicles, Daimler and Bosch propose to offer the service to a selected user community in the San Carlos/Stevens Creek corridor between downtown and west San José.

Get in and drive off. Free-floating carsharing with car2go.
Every 1.2 seconds a car2go smart or Mercedes-Benz is in use somewhere in the world.
That’s not surprising, as it couldn’t be easier: any available vehicle from car2go can be spontaneously rented using a smartphone, without stress or fixed costs.

With its population expected to grow 40 percent in the next two decades, the metropolitan area faces growing transportation challenges.
Moreover, San José wants to prepare itself for a future in which autonomous cars hit the streets.

In April 2016, car2go opened its first Asian location in Chongqing in the south west of China.

The on-demand ride-hailing service app operated by Daimler Mobility Services will demonstrate how mobility services such as car sharing (car2go), ride-hailing (mytaxi) and multi-modal platforms (moovel) can be intelligently connected.

The test operation will provide information about how highly and fully automated vehicles can be integrated into a multi-modal transportation network.
The intent is to provide a seamless digital experience, in which a selected user community will have the opportunity to hail a self-driving car, monitored by a safety driver, from a designated pick-up location and drive automatically to their destination.
 |
car2go is an important pillar within the Daimler mobility strategy.
The world's leading provider of free-floating carsharing now operates in 26 locations in eight countries on three continents.
Today, more than 3 million customers can access the fleet of 14,000 vehicles of the smart and Mercedes-Benz brands.

Automated vehicles make urban mobility more attractive
With their joint development work on highly and fully automated driving (SAE level 4/5) in urban environments, Daimler and Bosch aim to improve the flow of traffic in cities, enhance road safety, and provide an important building block for the way traffic will work in the future.
Among other things, with cars coming to drivers, not the other way around, the technology will boost the attraction of car sharing.
Without compromising driving safety, it will allow people to make the best possible use of their time they spend in their vehicles, and open up new mobility opportunities for people without a driver’s license.

Flexible carsharing in China: In Chongqing, the smart fortwo vehicles from car2go can be seen on the road under the brand name "JiXing" ("set off immediately").

Daimler and Bosch associates share the same office space
Daimler and Bosch associates involved in the development project work together in teams in two regions: in the greater Stuttgart area in Germany and, in the United Sates, around Sunnyvale in Silicon Valley between San José and of San Francisco.
Since they share the same office space, rapid communication across working disciplines is ensured and decision-making paths are short.
At the same time they can draw on the combined know-how of their colleagues in the parent companies.

The companies`associates are jointly developing the concepts and algorithms for the highly and fully automated drive system. Daimler's task is to bring the drive system into the car.
The company is providing the necessary development vehicles, test facilities, and vehicles for the test fleet.

Bosch is responsible for the components specified during the development work, such as sensors, actuators, and control units.
For test purposes, the partners use their laboratories and test rigs, plus their respective test sites in Germany.
 |
Take out your smartphone, open the car2go app, log on, drive off: The registration process for the flexible carsharing of car2go happens completely online.

Since obtaining its Autonomous Vehicle Testing Permit from the California Department of Motor Vehicles in 2014, Mercedes-Benz has been testing automated vehicles in the Sunnyvale/California region.
And since 2016, it has had similar approval for the greater Stuttgart area in Germany.

Hamburg: In addition to individual, day and group HVV tickets can also be booked via the moovel app.

In early 2013, Bosch was the world’s first automotive supplier to test automated driving (SAE level 3) on public roads in Germany and in the United States.
 |
The moovel mobility app links various means of transport such as car2go and Deutsche Bahn.
