\n Intel and Udelv are aiming for 35,000 driverless “Transporters” by 2028

Intel on Monday said it is supplying self-driving systems to Silicon Valley startup Udelv, which plans to have a fleet of autonomous delivery vehicles in action within two years.<\/p>\n

Udelv and the Mobileye unit at Intel aim to produce more than 35,000 driverless “Transporters” by the year 2028, the companies said in a joint release.<\/p>\n

“Our deal with Udelv is significant for its size, scope and rapid deployment timeline,” said Mobileye chief Amnon Shashua.<\/p>\n

“COVID-19 has accelerated demand for autonomous goods delivery, and we are delighted to partner with Udelv to address this demand in the near term.”<\/p>\n

The comprehensive Mobileye Drive system will allow Udelv to ramp up production and deployment of Transporter vehicles, according to the startup’s chief executive, Daniel Laury.<\/p>\n

Udelv automated delivery vehicles combine self-driving technology<\/a> with robotics to assist with unloading cargo, according to its website.<\/p>\n

“Early on, we determined that one element is inseparable from the other,” Udelv said in a post.<\/p>\n

“Without autonomy, one cannot remove the driver; and without the delivery robotics, an autonomous vehicle remains utterly useless.”<\/p>\n

The company said it has made thousands of automated deliveries in the US, carrying payloads of more than 800 pounds (363 kilograms).<\/p>\n

Autonomous driving technology is expected to catch on first for deliveries, since they involve carrying products instead of people along typically repetitive routes.<\/p>\n

E-commerce colossus Amazon; internet giant Google, and electric car maker Teslas are among companies investing in systems to enable vehicles to safely drive themselves.<\/p>\n

Intel recently said it will invest $20 billion in building two new plants in Arizona as part of a plan to ramp up chip production in the United States and Europe.<\/p>\n

The move comes as a global chip shortage has countries and companies in those regions looking to reduce reliance on plants in Asia for semiconductors, which are used in a growing array of products such as cars.\n <\/p>\n\n
