On-Road Testing to Start Next Year with Commercial Services
Expected in 2023
Mobileye, an Intel Company, Transdev Autonomous Transport System
(ATS), part of Transdev Group dedicated to autonomous mobility
solutions; and Lohr Group, a mobility solutions manufacturer, today
announced a strategic collaboration to develop and deploy
autonomous shuttles. The companies are integrating Mobileye’s
self-driving system into the i-Cristal electric shuttle,
manufactured by Lohr Group, with plans to integrate it into public
transportation services powered by fleets of self-driving shuttles
across the globe, starting in Europe.

“Our collaboration with Transdev ATS and Lohr Group serves to
grow Mobileye’s global footprint as the autonomous vehicle (AV)
technology partner of choice for pioneers in the transportation
industry,” said Johann Jungwirth, vice president of
Mobility-as-a-Service at Mobileye. “Mobileye, Transdev ATS and Lohr
Group are shaping the future of shared autonomous mobility, and we
look forward to bringing our self-driving solutions to regions all
over the world.”
“This collaboration between Transdev ATS, Lohr Group and
Mobileye will enable to deploy autonomous vehicles in public
transportation networks at scale, thanks to the combination of the
complementary cutting-edge technologies and strong industrial
expertise of the three partners,” said Patricia Villoslada,
executive vice president of Transdev ATS. “Together we will bring
new mobility solutions to reality in the next coming years.”
“The collaboration between Transdev ATS, Mobileye and Lohr Group
is set to provide fully industrialized autonomous shuttles at scale
to support the urban autonomous vision,” said Marie-José Navarre,
vice president of Lohr Group. “Our common goal is to quickly
provide to clients autonomous shuttles that could be easily and
efficiently implemented in cities.”
By integrating the autonomous i-Cristal shuttle into Transdev’s
existing mobility service networks, the companies aim to improve
the efficiency and convenience of mass transportation solutions.
Autonomous mobility can be woven into the fabric of transportation
networks to distribute service when and where it’s needed, while
also optimizing the fleets, lowering transportation costs and
improving customer experiences.
Over the next year, Mobileye will work with Transdev ATS and
Lohr Group to integrate and deploy i-Cristal autonomous shuttles
leveraging Mobileye’s AV technology, Transdev ATS’s technology and
Lohr Group’s industrial expertise. The three companies will
initially test vehicles on roadways in France and Israel, aiming to
ready technology designs for production by 2022. The companies
expect to deploy self-driving i-Cristal shuttles in public
transportation networks by 2023.
Through the collaboration, Mobileye and Transdev ATS will bring
their technologies into the electric i-Cristal shuttle,
manufactured by Lohr Group, which features space for up to 16
passengers and is fully accessible via a ramp. The shuttle can
travel at speeds up to 50 kilometers per hour and is designed to
safely and efficiently operate within today’s public transportation
networks with Transdev ATS’ solutions. These solutions integrate
Transdev ATS’ technology like the AV Supervision and expertise in
deployment and operation services for public transportation
operators and cities. The objective is to allow self-driving
technology to become a daily reality.
Mobileye’s self-driving system is a turnkey AV solution that
delivers safety via two core concepts: Mobileye’s formal
Responsibility-Sensitive Safety model for the safety of the
system’s decision-making, and a perception system featuring True
Redundancy™ whereby two independent subsystems (cameras and
radars+lidars) combine to enable robust perception. The
self-driving system can also be deployed without geographical
limitation thanks to Mobileye’s Road Experience Management™ AV
mapping technology through which a proprietary, crowdsourced AV map
of the global road network is created and then continuously and
automatically updated using data gathered from mass-market advanced
driver-assistance systems.
About Mobileye
Mobileye is the global leader in the development of computer
vision and machine learning, data analysis, localization and
mapping for advanced driver-assistance systems and automated
driving. Mobileye’s technology helps keep people safer on the road,
reduces the risks of traffic accidents, saves lives and aims to
revolutionize the driving experience by enabling autonomous
driving. Mobileye’s proprietary software algorithms and EyeQ® chips
perform detailed interpretations of the visual field in order to
anticipate possible collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians,
cyclists, animals, debris and other obstacles. Mobileye’s products
are also able to detect roadway markings such as lanes, road
boundaries, barriers and similar items; identify and read traffic
signs, directional signs and traffic lights; create a RoadBook™ of
localized drivable paths and visual landmarks using REM™; and
provide mapping for autonomous driving. More information is
