Both Aptiv and nuTonomy, an Aptiv company, receive top recognition for leadership in autonomous driving
GILLINGHAM, England – Aptiv (NYSE: APTV) was recognized as a 2018 Top 10 “Most Innovative Company” by business and technology magazine Fast Company. Also recognized is Aptiv-owned nuTonomy, a leading developer
of state-of-the-art software systems for self-driving cars.
Aptiv was recognized as a Top 10 “Most Innovative Company” in two categories -- transportation and artificial intelligence (AI), by Aptiv and nuTonomy, in its annual issue recognizing companies embracing innovation.
Aptiv is making the future of mobility real with smart city pilot projects leveraging a fleet of approximately 150 self-driving vehicles to provide “autonomous mobility-on-demand” in Singapore, Boston and Las Vegas by the end of 2018.
During CES 2018, Aptiv conducted more than 400 automated rides with the general public to more than 20 destinations by leveraging partner Lyft’s ride-hailing app.
Aptiv was recognized by Fast Company for its leadership in autonomous driving technology.
Also recognized by Fast Company, is nuTonomy, the leading developer of state-of-the-art software systems for self-driving cars, acquired by Aptiv in November 2017. nuTonomy achieved the world’s first integration of self-driving cars into a ride hailing service in Singapore in 2016.
It quickly followed this achievement by being the first to test self-driving vehicles on public roads in Boston, demonstrating that its rules-based approach can scale globally. nuTonomy’s public facing pilots have allowed the company to connect with passengers on multiple continents, informing its roadmap in building safe, reliable and efficient transportation in cities worldwide.
“nuTonomy is incredibly proud to have our achievements in AI recognized by Fast Company, and to be part of the broader Aptiv family that is working toward a future that includes autonomous mobility-on-demand systems deployed in cities worldwide,” said nuTonomy President, Karl Iagnemma.
Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s signature franchise and one of its most highly anticipated editorial efforts of the year. It provides both a snapshot and a road map for the future of innovation across the most dynamic sectors of the economy.
“This year’s MIC list is an inspiring and insightful window into how many companies have embraced innovation and are working to make meaningful change,” said Fast Company deputy editor David Lidsky, who oversaw the issue with senior editor Amy Farley.
