<strong>Christophe Sapet had announced during the unveiling of the first robo-taxi on the market, AUTONOM CAB, that NAVYA had partnership agreements with RAC WA and Keolis concerning the deployment of AUTONOM CAB fleets on open roads in city centers. RAC WA officially announced on November 30th, 2017 that the company will be trialling AUTONOM CAB from April 2018 in Perth, Australia. RAC is already trialling two AUTONOM SHUTTLES in South Perth from August 2016.</strong>

&nbsp;

<strong>AUTONOM CABS WILL BE DEPLOYED IN PERTH FROM APRIL 2018</strong>

<strong>RAC</strong>, in partnership with the <strong>Western Australia Government</strong> and <strong>NAVYA</strong>, will test several driverless passenger <strong>AUTONOM CAB</strong> vehicles which have been designed as an <strong>on-demand shared mobility service, bookable through a smartphone app</strong>. The trial will start from <strong>April 2018 in Perth</strong>, the State's capital.

"<em>This  trial  will  be  a  significant  advancement  on  the  already  ground-breaking technology in the two RAC Intellibuses, making Australians some of the first people in the world to experience the very latest in automated vehicle technology</em>." <strong>Terry Agnew</strong>, RAC Group CEO.

“<em>Australia is a strategic place to test, showcase and deploy new technologies in the region. The governments’, as well as RAC’s, enthusiasm for new vehicle technology, innovation and our need to make smart mobility solutions readily available to the community in this part of the world has led us to confirm one of our trials here in Western Australia</em>." <strong>Christophe Sapet</strong>, NAVYA CEO.

<b>PERTH AMONG THE VERY FIRST CITIES IN THE WORLD</b>

In 2016, after being one of the first operating transport companies in the world to trial an autonomous shuttle in real conditions with <strong>AUTONOM SHUTTLE</strong>, RAC will be once again <strong>one of the first to trial a fleet of robo-taxis on open roads in a major city center</strong>. As well as the trial with the RAC's Intellibus AUTONOM SHUTTLE, this experimentation will involve a number of stage.

<strong>AUTONOM CAB: ONE OF THE MOST SOPHISTICATED DRIVERLESS VEHICLE</strong>

The vehicles can carry up to <strong>six passengers</strong> each, and have a maximum operating speed of <strong>90km/hr</strong> with a likely recommended operating <strong>speed of 20 to 50km/h during the trial</strong>.

The vehicles are fitted with the <strong>latest state-of-the-art multi-sensor technology</strong>, including <strong>10 LIDARS</strong>, <strong>four radars</strong>, <strong>six cameras</strong> and <strong>Odometry</strong>, all providing the vehicles with 3D perception that allows them to map the environment, detect obstacles and make decisions which allow them to operate autonomously. The cars also feature two <strong>Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antennae</strong> to determine the precise position of the vehicle at any given time, and are linked to a supervision service.
