<\/p>\n

Nutonomy<\/a>, the self-driving car startup that span out of MIT in 2013, has inked a deal that will see it work with Peugeot-maker\u00a0Groupe PSA to test autonomous vehicles in Singapore.<\/p>\n

Nutonomy is more than familiar with Singapore: it has a relationship with local Uber rival Grab<\/a> and the Singapore Economic Development Board was an\u00a0investor in its recent $16 million fundraising.<\/a>\u00a0This new tie-in will see its autonomous vehicle tech, which includes software and sensors,\u00a0integrated into a customized version of the\u00a0Peugeot 3008. Trials will take place on public roads in Singapore from September, both companies confirmed.<\/p>\n

Cambridge, MA-based Nutonomy has an office in Singapore, and beyond the city-state it has also conducted tests in the Boston area<\/a>, too. (Side note: it actually beat Uber<\/a> to become the first company to test (so-called) \u2018robo-taxis\u2019 on public roads although reports suggest<\/a> it has plenty of work to do on stabilizing the passenger experience.) This deal with\u00a0Groupe PSA, which also manufactures Citroen cars, will push the startup\u00a0forward towards its ambitious goal of deploying commercial robo-taxis in Singapore by 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re confident that working with Groupe PSA will bring us closer to our goal of deploying a safe, efficient, fully autonomous mobility-on-demand transportation service for urban driving environments,\u201d Nutonomy CEO and co-founder\u00a0Karl lagnemma said in a statement.<\/p>\n

As for Groupe PSA, the French automaker announced its self-driving car program last year. To date, it has tested autonomous vehicles across Europe<\/a>\u00a0while, most recently, it revealed plans for\u00a0pilots with \u201cnon-expert\u201d drivers<\/a> on French roads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis collaboration is a significant step towards fully autonomous vehicles, which will enable us to offer different mobility solutions to our customers,\u201d said\u00a0Anne Laliron, head of the business lab\u00a0at Groupe PSA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
