Waymo Partners with Car Rental Giant Avis to Develop Automated Driving Services

(Original title: Waymo and car rental giant Avis have partnered to provide the service for self-driving cars)

According to foreign media reports, the self-driving car company Waymo, owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet, signed an agreement with Avis Budget Group to provide services for driverless cars that were tested in Phoenix. Let leasing auto agencies gain a foothold in the emerging autonomous transportation market.

The agreement has accelerated Waymo's efforts to commercialize autonomous vehicle technology, which is beginning a real pilot project after years of testing.

Avis said on Monday that it will provide "Fleet Support and Maintenance Services" to Waymo vehicles in Phoenix.

Waymo will provide passengers in Phoenix with a free Chrysler Pacific plug-in hybrid minivan ride that has been converted from its own automotive technology.

Avis staff will clean up the interior of the truck, change oil and tires, and perform other basic maintenance.

Excited investors raised Avis’s stock price by 14% to $27.67 on Monday.

The current scope of the Avis agreement is quite limited. It is included in the pilot team in Phoenix, but it may pave the way for broader cooperation.

The agreement does not affect Waymo's other cooperation, including testing its self-driving car with Lyft, a car application.

Waymo CEO John Krafcik said: “Because the public uses our growing number of self-driving cars, our cars need standard maintenance and cleaning to prepare our passengers at any time of the day or night. Avis is providing support. And the ideal partner for maintenance. In thousands of locations around the world, Avis can help us bring technology to more people and take it to more places.”

Avis CEO Larry De Shon said the deal "allows us to increase our knowledge and practical experience in emerging areas."

Waymo said in April this year that it will test its own self-driving car technology in Phoenix, put 600 Pacific minivans there, and invite local residents to sign up for the ride.

In exchange, Waymo will get data on how consumers use automatic vehicles. (Little Fox)

FR4 PCB

FR-4 epoxy glass fiber cloth substrate is a kind of substrate with epoxy resin as the adhesive and electronic grade glass fiber cloth as the reinforcing material. Its adhesive sheet and inner core thin copper-clad board are important base materials for making multilayer printed circuit boards.
The epoxy glass fiber cloth substrate has higher mechanical properties, dimensional stability, impact resistance, and moisture resistance than paper substrates. Its electrical performance is excellent, its working temperature is high, and its performance is less affected by the environment. In terms of processing technology, it has great advantages over glass fiber cloth substrates made of other resins. This type of product is mainly used for double-sided PCBs and is used in large quantities.
