The auto supplier’s new mobility efforts get a boost from a proof-of-concept collaboration with the fast-growing chain that will include multiple last-mile delivery platform options, adding to its experience from other autonomous delivery robot projects with Brooklyn Pizza and Cartken.

It is applying its in-house vehicle, software, and autonomous driving hardware to a collaboration with UPS on an autonomous electric cargo vehicle pilot program in the UK and with the European Institute for Innovation and Technology to test driverless public transport in Europe and Milton Keynes.

Forecasters still see long-term adoption in certain segments, with mobility-as-a-service and robotaxis expected to lead the transition to an autonomous vehicle future, while broad deployments of Level 2+ and Level 3 automated driving systems will reach at least 31% of new vehicle sales globally by 2035.
