For the currently developing unmanned cars with strong development momentum, the industry generally believes that its preferred commercial landing plan is combined with travel services. In fact, both traditional car manufacturers, start-up car companies and travel companies are all working in this direction.
The latest news shows that the traditional car manufacturer Ford will launch its own taxi service in 2021, but the service will be exclusively operated by Ford.
Ford Driverless Car
On April 15, Ford’s Executive Vice President, Global Market President Jim Farley (Jim Farrell) said in an interview with British media that in 2021, Ford will launch a large scale unmanned taxi service. It is reported that Ford has launched a trial of no taxi in Miami, USA, and will "scale up" on the basis of this business in the future.
It should be noted that Farrell also stated that the future Ford’s unmanned taxi service will be a truly self-operating business. In addition to the vehicles from the company’s manufacturing, daily operations will also be completed by Ford. You know, Ford is currently working with Lyft, the second largest travel company in the United States, on unmanned vehicles. This means that in the future Ford will abandon Lyft and go it alone.
I don't know how the Lyft side will respond to Ford's idea of ​​preparing an exclusive travel service. We will wait and see.
