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.
"To rapidly scale to thousands of robots,
Serve needs to leverage world-class technology partners like
DriveU.auto"
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."
