OSVehicle<\/a> is a B2B Self-Driving vehicle startup, backed by Y Combinator, which creates what they call \u2018white-label solutions\u2019 for auto fleets owners.<\/p>\n

Dubbed \u2018EDIT\u2019 this claims to be the first \u201cready-to-use Self-Driving EV\u201d which is modular, open to different designs and \u201cwhite-labelled\u201d, in that it can be branded with any car marque.<\/p>\n

Emerging out of stealth mode after a year in development, the idea is that auto companies can customize EDIT\u2019s specifications. That means you could tinker with any variant, drawing on self-Driving hardware, a connected car, the code, the vehicle range, the look. The advantage being that t\u2019s faster to market (half the time in fact) and with lower investments (around one sixth the cost).<\/p>\n

This white-label, self-driving \u201cVehicle as a Service\u201d means companies could quickly create models tailored for each service and country. In other words, it\u2019s taking advantage of the move towards food delivery, ride and car sharing, which means vehicles would tailored to the application, not the car brand.<\/p>\n
