Daimler's Mercedes-Benz, Bosch to launch self-driving car service in Silicon Valley

Daimler's, the makers of Mercedes-Benz, and automotive supplies Bosch are soon to join the race of the self-driving cars market. Maria Mercedes Galuppo (@mariamgaluppo) has more. As self-driving vehicle experiments are launched in a few cities around the U.S., Mercedes-Benz maker Daimler and a prominent auto supplier are launching a new one in the place that would seem most receptive: Silicon Valley. Daimler and auto components maker Bosch will start a self-driving vehicle shuttle service in one of the cities south of San Francisco that comprises the heart of the nation's tech industry beginning in the second half of 2019. The move marks a concrete step forward for a partnership announced in April 2017 with the ultimate goal of delivering a self-driving car by 2021.
