全球首款自动售货自行车现身硅谷
While self-driving cars are still gradually gaining traction in our daily lives, a lighter and more flexible form of transportation — autonomous bicycles — has already stepped out of the laboratory and onto the streets.
Genie Mobility, a fast-growing new company based in Silicon Valley, proudly introduced the world’s first fully autonomous delivery electric bicycle — the “Genie Bike”. Combining cutting-edge autonomous driving technology with the practicality of electric bicycle design, this innovative product aims to directly tackle the “last-mile” delivery challenge.
The Genie Bike is equipped with a custom-made high-power motor, with a peak power output of 750W and a top speed of 45km/h. It can carry up to 80 kg, making it suitable for delivering food, packages, and fresh goods. Equipped with two batteries with a total capacity of 1344Wh, it can travel 80–100 km on a single charge. It also supports fast charging in just two hours and is compatible with standard charging stations.
The bike’s self-driving system uses multiple sensors, including two high-resolution cameras, smart AI vision software that can recognize over 200 objects, a front laser sensor that detects objects up to 50 meters away with high accuracy, and ultrasonic (超声波的) radar for 3D mapping and blind-spot support. Running on NVIDIA’s latest AI computing platform, it provides strong processing power for real-time decision-making. With detailed maps and real-time GPS, the bike can plan the best routes, avoid traffic jams, and follow road rules.
Additionally, the Genie Bike supports advanced fleet monitoring, efficient task assignments, and in-depth data analysis. In challenging road conditions, it allows for seamless remote takeover or automatic return to designated safe zones. When the battery drops below 20%, it intelligently plans a return route for recharging.
