Watch: Mobilai's autonomous car tears Jerusalem apart
Mobilai today announced the launch of its new dual sensing system, which uses cameras, radar and lidar.
She is baptizing the fire on the streets of Jerusalem and the plan is to launch a robotic taxi service this year in Tel Aviv

Mobilai today took another significant step on the way to the company's vision of the autonomous taxi (the "robo-taxi") ahead of the launch of the service in Israel.
In an unedited 40-minute video, the NIO ES6 is seen navigating the streets of Jerusalem as it simulates a multi-stop ride, similar to the way it will operate as an autonomous taxi.
Among other things, it can be seen intertwined with traffic even at non-traffic lights and traffic jams, at traffic lights and on city streets.
The car itself as you can see in the video copes nicely with the vast majority of the challenges, however has a hard time when the street gets too narrow or when cars are not parked neatly.
There it slows down significantly in relation to how a real driver would do, or at least so it seems.

The car uses the company's new True Redundancy system.
This is a system that represents Mobilai's approach of using air-conditioned sensors with two independent sensing subsystems: the first of cameras and the second with a combination of radar and lidar (laser radar).
The two systems provide backup to each other in identifying road conditions and streaming data to the processor.
"The natural maneuverability of the vehicle in incredibly complex scenarios proves the value of this approach."
Says Johann Youngwirth, Vice President of Mobility-as-a-Service, Mobilai.
The system's transition to operation was a necessary and central step in the process by which the company will begin to make more extensive use of the robotic service, with Israel and Germany being the first Western countries to allow full use of the system, even without a car driver (in Singapore a similar service has been active since 2016).
About a month ago, the Knesset's Economics Committee approved regulations that would allow and regulate the activities of robotic taxis, with the plan to start their limited and experimental operation by the end of the year by Yango and Mobilai in collaboration with Mobit.
