“With high market acceptance to autonomous driving in China, we see a strong demand for the technology,” said Karl Iagnemma, president of Aptiv Autonomous Mobility.

“This expansion is significant for China, and globally, as it takes us one step closer to broader adoption of automated mobility.”

The company is talking with potential mapping suppliers and customers for commercial deployment in China.

This allows Aptiv to gain real-world experience with the general public and supports broader technology and IP development, two critical components to grow commercial deployment and develop future mobility solutions.

Aptiv claims to have been first to commercially deploy autonomous vehicles globally.

It has been giving rides to consumers in Las Vegas since May 2018, in partnership with ride-hailing app, Lyft, and is conducting automated mobility on demand research, development and testing in Boston, Pittsburgh and Singapore.

To date, the commercial programme has provided 40,000 paid autonomous rides, servicing 2,100 destinations across the Las Vegas and Clark County, while maintaining a “nearly perfect” average passenger rating of 4.95 out of five stars.

Aptiv began operations in China in 1993, and has both engineering and manufacturing operations with safety, connectivity and security, infotainment and user experience systems, as well as electrical architectures for both internal combustion and electrified vehicles.
