Not only does Ford have a “micromobility unit” called Spin, that division is producing semi-autonomous Scooter. The Spin Insight Level 2 will “understand its surroundings in real time and assist rider in making safe riding decisions.”
The new tech comes thanks to a partnership with Drover AI that the companies announced today. The tech will make use of an onboard camera, an array of sensors, and a computer to figure out what’s going with the world around it.
With that information, the scooter could be capable of slowing riders down if, say, they’re on a sidewalk and not a bike lane like they should be. It could also have a forward collision warning just like on your car, according to Derrick Ko, Spin’s CEO.
