San Francisco has around 600 driverless vehicles with room to grow ten times. From advanced AI and sensor technologies to revolutionary business models like Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) and robo-taxis, AVs are reshaping transportation. Industry giants like Tesla, Waymo, and Toyota Motor Corporation lead the charge alongside dynamic startups such as pony-ai and Oxbotica. The implications are vast, from overhauling manufacturing processes and supply chain dynamics to creating safer roads and reducing emissions. However, this exciting future comes with challenges. We need robust regulations, upgraded infrastructure, and ethical frameworks to guide us through this transformation. Dive into our comprehensive analysis of the AV market and discover how cities worldwide prepare for this disruptive revolution. #Automotive #ConsumerInsights #Innovation

Nio's CEO, William Li, has announced that the company will not enter the robotaxi market, citing sustainability concerns and ethical issues. Despite advancements in autonomous driving technology, Nio believes that robotaxi services are not a sustainable business model and could negatively impact human drivers' livelihoods. This decision sets Nio apart from competitors like Tesla and XPeng, who are actively pursuing robotaxi technology. Nio will instead focus on innovations that enhance driver safety and reduce fatigue, reflecting its commitment to responsible technological development. https://lnkd.in/g3Zv2fBf #Nio #Robotaxi #SustainableBusiness #AutonomousVehicles #EVs #WilliamLi #ElectricCars #SmartDriving #EthicalTechnology #DriverSafety #Tesla #XPeng #Baidu #AutoIndustry #China #AI #TechInnovation #MobilityFuture #ElectricVehicle #DriverlessCars

🛜 Musk‘ magic 🪄 has gone ? ⚠️ Investors were not impressed by his „We Robot Event“ in the Warner Bros Studio. This location was actually the best of the whole program presented. ❎ Musk has to deliver instead of continuing to promise and distract with useless shows. The Robotaxi presented is a prototype intended for production 2026. It’s design looks like an odd blend of VW XL1 and Cybertruck, being a 2 seater it’s not very practical either. Together with the Robovan both look like vehicles for an outdated science fiction movie. ❎ More important is their FSD technology, which is still far from level 4/5 completion. It’s very unlikely that Tesla will achieve this with their vision based hardware system only. (By the way in 2016 a spin-off Nutonomy started the first commercial Robotaxi program with modified Mitsubishi iMiEV and Renault ZOE in Singapore). Their approach to develop a lowcost AV system with the support of AI doesn’t seem the right way to go. Cameras have clear limitations. ❎ Competitors like Waymo, Cruise, Baidu, Didi and WeRide are all using more advanced multisensing, with Lidar and radar, hardware and have achieved much more progress. OEM like Mercedes-Benz have overtaken as well with an approved level 3 AD system. And also the Chinese OEM are progressing extremely fast. So the clock is ticking for Tesla…..⏱️ Science Police Green Tech Minds #werobot #tesla #fsd #robotaxi

Supply chain and climate risk analysis is a critical aspect of modern business strategy, especially in the context of increasing environmental uncertainties. This analysis involves evaluating the potential impacts of climate-related events on supply chain operations and identifying strategies to mitigate these risks. Physical and transition risks are two key components. In a world where extreme weather events, resource scarcity, and regulatory changes are becoming more frequent, businesses need to understand how their supply chains may be vulnerable to these inter-causal risks. This involves assessing factors such as the geographic location of suppliers, transportation routes, infrastructure resilience, and dependencies on natural resources. With Amplo Global’s AI-led platform, and its comprehensive risk assessment techniques, businesses can identify vulnerabilities within their supply chains and develop strategies to enhance resilience. This may include diversifying supplier networks, investing in alternative transportation methods, adopting sustainable practices, and leveraging technology for real-time monitoring and response. Ultimately, integrating climate risk analysis into supply chain management not only helps mitigate potential disruptions but also contributes to long-term sustainability and competitiveness in an increasingly volatile environment.

#Tesla is set to unveil its highly anticipated #Robotaxi on October 10, marking what many consider the company's most significant event since the launch of the Model 3. This autonomous #vehicle represents Tesla's bold vision of revolutionizing #transportation, eliminating the need for human drivers. The Robotaxi could potentially disrupt the ride-hailing #industry, offering a cheaper, more efficient alternative to traditional #taxis and services like #Uber and #Lyft. With Tesla's advancements in #AI and #autonomousdriving #technology, the Robotaxi launch is expected to push the boundaries of #innovation, making it a very important moment for the company's future.

Toyota and NTT are investing a whopping $3.3 billion in AI and autonomous driving technology. This partnership aims to revolutionize the future of mobility by enhancing safety and efficiency on the roads.

🚗 Tesla has unveiled its new autonomous robotaxi, the #Cybercab, a futuristic vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals, designed to revolutionize urban transportation. Elon Musk projects its implementation for 2026-2027, promising an affordable price and advanced technology that will change mobility. This presentation leads me to reflect on timing in innovation. It’s not enough to have disruptive technology; #context is key. A clear example in the medical sector is #drug-coated balloons (#DCB), which appeared years ago in #cardiology but are only now finding their place in the market. Why? Because the ecosystem is not always ready to absorb #innovations when they first emerge. 🌍 In Europe, innovations often arrive after being tested in the United States and Asia, which can sometimes be an advantage. But even so, there are many instances where something may work in these pioneering countries for many years before society here is both technologically and socially prepared to adopt it. 🔍 The question then is: Is our infrastructure ready for the Cybercab? Or, as has happened with other innovations, is it not the right time, and will it die from success? But how do we determine if it’s the right time? That’s the big question companies and governments must ask themselves before jumping into the next big technological revolution. 💡 What do you think? Is it better to be a pioneer or wait for technology to mature? #Innovation #AutonomousMobility #BusinessStrategy #Technology #DigitalTransformation https://lnkd.in/dCJMFTwh

Did you know, NVIDIA became the world’s most valuable company on June 18th, leapfrogging Apple and Microsoft? NVIDIA stock has tripled since July 2023, thanks to the boom in AI. Take a look at the topics NVIDIA focusing on. So much of it is around Computer Vision and related applications. No surprise perhaps, as CV uses such heavy computational power. FAANG is now MMAANNG: Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Amazon, NVIDIA, Netflix and Google. Google is of course Alphabet, so maybe it should be MMAAANN? — #AI #GenerativeAI #ComputerVision #NVIDIA #ExponentialGrowth
