The future of Uber, Lyft, and other ride-hailing services has arrived, literally. Meet the Arrival Car prototype. This electric vehicle was developed from the ground up in just 6-months with the help of Uber drivers and focuses on cost, uptime, driver comfort, safety, as well as convenience. Read more for two videos, additional pictures and information.
A typical ride-hailing vehicle experiences between 28-31,000-miles on the road, versus around 7,500-miles for a standard vehicle, thus it was important to ensure that passengers enjoy a premium experience in the Arrival Car. The company is now testing the prototype and will incorporate any feedback into the next design phase before the production model is revealed.
- Sturdy & Powerful: Dual 400W motors, max speed 12.5 mph, range 22 miles, max load 220 lbs.
- Safety & Comfort: Smart Battery Management System ensures safety, extends battery life. Knee control bar for precise steering, easy lifting. 11"...
- Remote Control & Auto-Follow Mode: Use handle or joystick on multi-functional remote to control device. Activate follow mode for hands-free operation.
Electrifying ride-hailing will play a crucial role in reducing the emissions of vehicles in cities globally, providing a sustainable, clean multi-modal transportation system for communities. We are keen on supporting drivers with this transition by developing the best possible product for ride hailing that elevates the experience for both them and their passengers, making urban air clean in the process,” said Tom Elvidge, EVP Vehicle Platforms at Arrival.
