Waymo 计划在德国慕尼黑推出无人驾驶出租车服务，预计 2027 年底前向公众开放_我的网站

A |      8 月 26 日消息，Waymo 当地时间周二表示，公司计划在德国慕尼黑推出无人驾驶出租车服务。就在几个月前，这家 Alphabet 旗下的自动驾驶汽车公司刚刚在德国设立了实体。    NEW YORK -- Qatar Airways Group chief executive Akbar Al Baker is stepping down after 27 years leading the company.Al Baker's retirement will go into effect Nov. 5, Qatar Airways said Monday. He will be succeeded by Badr Mohammed Al-Meer — who currently serves as the chief operating officer of Hamad International Airport in Doha, the hub of Qatar's national carrier.In Monday's announcement, Qatar Airways said that it “has grown to become one of the most recognisable and trusted brands globally” under Al Baker's leadership. The company pointed to seven “World's Best Airline” wins, among other allocates.During his tenure at Qatar Airways, Al Baker became known for being one of the most outspoken leaders in the airline industry — with a hard-changing, sometimes confrontational approach that carried into negotiations with manufacturers and others.Al Baker has also made some controversial comments over his career — including suggesting that women can’t run airlines and for calling American carriers “crap” and that their passengers were “always being served by grandmothers.” He later apologized for both remarks.Last year, Al Baker lashed out at critics of Qatar hosting the FIFA World Cup, saying his nation will “always rub salt into the wound” of its adversaries — following concerns from some other countries and soccer teams over how Qatar manages its vast population of low-paid migrant workers and its stance on LGBTQ rights.In July, Qatar Airways reported a profit of $1.2 billion over the last fiscal year, boosted in part by the country’s hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. That's down slightly from the $1.5 billion profit posted the year prior — in part due to a spike in operating expenses, particularly in jet fuels as energy prices rose after the grip of the pandemic loosened and air travel resumed.Qatar Airway's earned revenue of $20.9 billion over the fiscal year, up from $14.4 billion the year before.。不过，在正式开展商业运营之前，Waymo 仍需要完成道路测绘、测试等工作，同时还要跨越监管方面的障碍。与目前已经开展商业化无人驾驶出租车业务的其他 11 座城市一样，Waymo 在慕尼黑的项目也将从人工驾驶车辆开始。公司首先会由驾驶员亲自驾驶车辆，对慕尼黑的道路进行测绘。随后，Waymo 会在车内配备人类安全驾驶员的情况下测试自动驾驶车辆，之后才会逐步移除安全驾驶员。在这一阶段，Waymo 通常会邀请员工、媒体以及其他受邀嘉宾乘坐其无人驾驶车辆。

B | 在获得商业运营所需的监管批准后，Waymo 最终会先向部分乘客开放有限的无人驾驶出租车服务，并逐步向所有乘客开放。Waymo 周二在一篇博客文章中表示，公司正在与德国联邦机动车运输管理局（KBA）、州政府部门以及地方官员合作，并预计在 2027 年底前后向公众开放商业网约车服务。

C | Waymo 进入德国市场的时间，距离德国立法者通过允许无人驾驶汽车在公共道路上行驶的相关法律已经超过 5 年。德国也因此成为欧盟第一个建立 L4 级自动驾驶法律框架的国家。L4 级自动驾驶是美国汽车工程师协会（SAE）制定的自动驾驶等级之一，意味着在特定条件或环境下，自动驾驶系统可以完成全部驾驶任务，不再要求人类驾驶员随时准备接管车辆。

D | 这一法律框架使德国成为自动驾驶汽车测试的热门市场。根据 KBA 最新数据，目前包括 Mobileye 和大众汽车在内的多家公司已经获得在德国测试自动驾驶汽车的许可。不过，Waymo 目前还没有获得相关测试许可。与此同时，德国目前绝大多数自动驾驶测试许可都属于 L3 级，包括英国自动驾驶初创公司 Wayve 和总部位于以色列的 Autobrains。L3 级也被称为有条件自动驾驶，车辆能够在特定运行条件下完成全部驾驶任务，例如在高速公路低速行驶时实现自动驾驶，但驾驶员必须能够在需要时接管车辆。注意到，德国并不是自动驾驶汽车开发商争夺海外市场的唯一热点。英国，尤其是伦敦，也正在成为无人驾驶出租车领域的另一处重要战场。

E | Waymo 此前表示，计划在 2026 年于伦敦推出商业化无人驾驶出租车服务，届时将与 Wayve 及其合作伙伴 Uber 展开竞争。

F | 中国科技巨头百度也已经开始在伦敦测试自动驾驶汽车，这是其与 Lyft 和 Freenow 合作计划的一部分。
