It\u2019s more about how the next stage will be financed.<\/p>\n<p>Behind pretty much every technological advance we report on, there\u2019s someone financing it, hoping to profit. But when three global giants from completely different industrial spheres sign a \u2018Memorandum of Understanding\u2019 to deploy Level 4 driverless robotaxis around the world, it seems a logical corporate union. Three different specialists are merging their expertise to mutual advantage. Or are they?<\/p>\n<p>        This is how the trio of global companies illustrated their new technology alliance this week<\/p>\n<p>Stellantis<\/p>\n<p>Looking behind the handshakes and smiles, there seems to be an imbalance in who stands to gain most.<\/p>\n<p>Uber is successfully outsourcing the expensive, high-risk elements of the self-driving war \u2013 and has perfectly positioned itself to collect massive anticipated profits. No paychecks for drivers mean higher yield per journey. Once you\u2019ve bought the autonomous cars, you sit back and collect the money. Obviously Stellantis and Wayve aren\u2019t purely in the business of providing profits for Uber but let\u2019s look deeper at what\u2019s really happening.<\/p>\n<p>Current Level 4 autonomous driving systems rely on highly detailed, pre-programmed, high-definition mapping of a defined geographic area. These are carefully compiled for each city, meter-by-meter, junction by junction, before a car can operate there. It means rival operation Waymo\u2019s robotaxis are trapped within rigid geofences.<\/p>\n<p>This new partnership is taking a different technological route.
