Scootbee is building a fleet of autonomous, self-driving scooters available in an instant. Plug in your location, and a scooter will scoot its way over to you. Take it wherever you need to go, and then hop off - it'll scoot away to its next guest.
While itβs certainly not for me, Iβm encouraged by what this means for mobility in general. This is low emission transportation and the technology could be used to transform the lives of people who need special accommodations to get around or get personal items - people who are physically disabled, injured, elderly, blind, etc.
Report
From an idea standpoint, this would be the best tech ever to be brought into reality.
From a realistic standpoint, very very difficult. We're already having a hard time perfecting autonomous vehicles and it's even worrying to know how it'll go since the Uber incident in Arizona.
What makes this even more difficult is the sensor placement. The scooter would have to follow traffic guidelines, avoid collisions, and even has to go fast enough to stay on two wheels (unless they are using 3, then it should be somewhat fine).
I do back the idea, but I'm not holding my breath on the release date in public.
Report
This is a very rough idea not a product or prototype, if you think Tesla is overhyped, this would be a few magnitudes (meaning a lot of them) above Tesla.
This is freaking genius. Not quite there yet for the tech but this will undoubtedly be the future of last mile personal transport in cities.
