Autonomous Vehicle Pioneers ADASTEC and Beep Unite for Large-Scale Transportation Solutions
In a significant move towards safer, more efficient, and truly accessible public transportation, ADASTEC Corp and Beep, Inc. have announced a partnership aimed at delivering just that. The collaboration combines ADASTEC's advanced automated driving technology with Beep's deployment expertise.
ADASTEC's flowride.ai and sensor suite, including Light Detection and Ranging, radar, RGB cameras, and high-precision global navigation satellite system, have been deployed in over a dozen countries worldwide. This technology enables buses and commercial vehicles to operate safely with mixed traffic and weather conditions.
Beep's AutonomOSTM supervision and management platform will work seamlessly with ADASTEC's automated driving sensor suite and software. The partnership will utilise ADASTEC's Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Level-4 automated driving software, flowride.ai, and its global OEM partnerships. The ADASTEC platform allows buses, factory-fitted with their automated driving software technology, to operate at speeds of up to 35 mph without human intervention.
The first joint deployments will take place in Georgia and Florida. This partnership offers fleet orchestration, vehicle and cabin monitoring, and integrated operations support, ensuring safe and reliable everyday mobility for passengers. The solution offered by the partnership will be fully compliant with Build America, Buy America requirements and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).
The goal of this partnership is to deliver public transportation that is safer, more efficient, and truly accessible. This aligns with the strategic efforts of the three largest German public transport companies—Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), Hamburger Hochbahn (HOCHBAHN), and Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft (MVG)—who are cooperating strategically to promote scalable deployments of autonomous public transport solutions. By 2035, they aim to expand services across a broad range of applications and geographies, including up to 2,000 autonomous vehicles and a joint mobility app called "MAX".
This partnership marks a significant step forward in the realm of autonomous public transportation, offering a comprehensive end-to-end solution for municipalities, transit agencies, campuses, airports, and private communities. As we move towards a future where autonomous vehicles become a common sight, partnerships like these are paving the way for a safer, more efficient, and truly accessible public transportation system.
