Serve Robotics integrates DriveU.auto's connectivity platform to support scale deployment of fleet
TEL AVIV, Israel and SAN FRANCISCO, June 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DriveU.auto (or "DriveU"), a leading provider of connectivity platforms for autonomous vehicles, and Serve Robotics (or "Serve") (Nasdaq:SERV), a leading provider of autonomous delivery robots, today announced the deployment of DriveU.auto's connectivity platform on Serve's commercially-deployed robotic fleet. Serve will leverage DriveU's platform to enhance the performance of remote monitoring of its autonomous delivery robots?adding to the suite of tools Serve utilizes as it works to deploy up to 2,000 robots on the Uber Eats platform.
Serve evaluated DriveU alongside competitive offerings and determined that DriveU's platform provides reliable, low-latency and uninterrupted connectivity that allows robots to share real-time telemetrics, access cloud computing, and enable remote supervision in edge cases. Serve also values DriveU.auto's native support of the Nvidia Jetson platform, which provides hardware-accelerated video encoding and decoding, reduces network bandwidth and latency, and results in better video quality.
"In order to rapidly scale to thousands of robots, Serve needs to leverage the capabilities of world-class technology partners like DriveU.auto," said Dmitry Demeshchuk, Co-founder and Vice President of Software Engineering at Serve. "DriveU's connectivity platform will help us improve the resilience and performance of our fleet, unlock operational efficiencies, and realize economies of scale as we pursue mass market autonomous delivery."
"We are thankful for the opportunity to engage as a trusted partner with Serve Robotics," said Alon Podhurst, CEO of DriveU.auto. "DriveU.auto is committed to enabling the large-scale rollout of driverless fleets safely and efficiently. Connectivity is a critical element in every driverless vehicle. Our expanding roster of commercial partnerships is a testament to DriveU's leading position in enabling AV operations."
