Volvo Cars Untuk Bekerja Dengan DiDi Untuk Armada Panduan-Sendiri
Perkongsian baharu dengan DiDi Chuxing China untuk SUV XC90 autonomi Volvo.
Volvo Cars telah berada di barisan hadapan teknologi pemanduan autonomi selama bertahun-tahun sekarang. Mereka mempunyai program sendiri di Sweden, program dengan Uber di AS dan sekarang dengan Didi Autonomous Driving. DiDi Autonomous Driving adalah cabang DiDi Chuxing, syarikat sewa kenderaan BESAR di Beijing.
Ini bukan kali pertama kedua syarikat bekerjasama. Tahun lalu, Volvo Car membekalkan mereka XC60 untuk digunakan dalam program perintis robotaxi pertama di Shanghai. Robotaksis ini dapat ditempah oleh pengguna, dan sementara ianya autonomi, ia akan dipantau dengan selamat oleh pemandu keselamatan dan jurutera.
Volvo XC90 SUV yang dilengkapi dengan sistem backup untuk stereng dan brek akan dibekalkan kepada DiDi, yang akan mengintegrasikan perkakasan dan perisian tambahan sebelum ujian dimulakan.
DiDi’s self-driving hardware platform is called DiDi Gemini. These XC90s will be the first to come equipped with it.

Volvo Cars, a global leader in automotive safety, and DiDi Autonomous Driving, the self-driving technology arm of Didi Chuxing, the world’s leading mobility technology platform, have signed a strategic collaboration agreement on autonomous vehicles for DiDi’s self-driving test fleet.
Volvo Cars will provide DiDi with XC90 cars equipped with necessary backup systems for functions such as steering and braking, and collaborate with DiDi Autonomous Driving to integrate the additional software and hardware required to make it fully ready for autonomous drive.
The XC90 cars will be the first to integrate DiDi Gemini, DiDi Autonomous Driving’s new self-driving hardware platform and are intended to be deployed for ride-hailing in DiDi’s network in the future.
The agreement reinforces Volvo Cars’ position as a provider of cars and the partner of choice for self-driving fleets, building on its reputation as a global leader in automotive safety.
The built-in backup systems and safety features on the XC90s, combined with DiDi Autonomous Driving’s advanced self-driving system, will eventually allow the cars to operate without safety drivers in robotaxi services.
Building on today’s agreement, Volvo Cars and DiDi Autonomous Driving look to build a long-term partnership as DiDi continues to expand its autonomous test fleets across China and the US and scales up its commercial robotaxi operations.
As the world’s leading shared mobility technology platform, DiDi uses its deep expertise in network operation and large bank of real-world driving data to develop commercial autonomous transportation services by collaborating with the world’s premium car makers.
In 2020, Volvo Cars provided DiDi with Volvo XC60s for use in Shanghai’s first pilot robotaxi programme. People in certain areas of Shanghai could book trips by robotaxi in the DiDi app and be driven autonomously, while the cars were monitored by a safety driver and engineer.
Volvo Cars’ partner-of-choice ambition comes as ride-hailing firms around the globe seek to expand their fleets with fully autonomous cars in a safe and responsible way. The reputation of Volvo Cars as a global leader in automotive safety is a strong asset as it pursues this ambition.
