Ford-owned Spin partners with Tortoise to bring remotely operated e-scooters to cities in N America & Europe in 2021
Spin, the micromobility subsidiary of Ford Motor Company, announced an exclusive international alliance with software company Tortoise to bring Spin S-200 remotely-operated e-scooters to cities in North America and Europe in 2021.
The company’s new Spin Valet platform makes it possible to operate Spin’s fleet remotely and automatically re-park scooters out of the pathway of pedestrians and other sidewalk or street traffic within seconds. Spin Valet combines Tortoise’s software with the front and rear-facing built-in cameras on the S-200. This technology will eventually make it possible for a rider to “hail” an e-scooter several blocks to a desired pick-up location.
