French robotic auto specialist Induct came to Las Vegas' CES with the world's first intelligent, electric and driverless shuttle. Called Navia, it's already been deployed in France, Switzerland, the U.K., and Singapore, with the U.S. to follow anytime soon.
Offering seating for up to eight and a top speed of 20 km/h, Navia utilizes advanced robotics, laser mapping technology and sensors that detect the vehicle's acceleration and rotation to instantly calculate its position, nearby obstacles, route, and distance travelled in real time, enabling it to carry its passengers quickly, safely, and efficiently. Said passengers can select their destination on a touchscreen offering various stops.
Fully electric, Navia is recharged by induction (using magnetic fields) without the need for cables or human intervention, allowing it to be self-sufficient and run 24 hours a day. It looks like the ideal solution in industrial sites, theme parks, college campuses, complexes and more.
Navia also helps reduce the operational costs of a regular shuttle service with driver (around $200,000 a year in the U.S.) by 40%-60%.
