Watch Intel's Mobileye robotaxi drive through Jerusalem
JOHANN JUNGWIRTH, vice president of mobility-as-a-service at Intel-owned company Mobileye, says he spends two to three hours per day on the road. It's a long commute, especially given he's sitting behind the driver's wheel--except for the fact that he's not the one making decisions on the road. "I just push the Go button, and then, you know, I let it drive itself," Jungwirth tells WIRED after a Mobileye robotaxi drove him from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv. Driving enthusiasts can now check out what that experience looks like, thanks to a 45-minute long unedited video of Mobileye's seven-seater electric van ferrying ride-hailing passengers around Jerusalem's narrow, winding roads. As the robotaxi, which comes equipped with Mobileye's True Redundancy sensing system, drives to different drop-off and pick-up points, it easily dodges the jaywalkers, gives way to cars suddenly interrupting its route, and navigates around parked cars and other obstacles blocking the way.
