British company Imperium Drive launches new self-driving car rental service Fetch"

According to news on June 12, the British company Imperium Drive recently launched a new driverless car rental service Fetch. This service uses remote driving technology to deliver the rental vehicle directly to the user. Fetch becomes the first company in Europe to offer such a service.

According to Fetch’s mobile application, users only need to enter the time and location to pick up the car on the App, and a driverless car will automatically drive to the location designated by the user. After users get in the car, they can drive themselves like an ordinary vehicle. When returning your vehicle, simply park it in the parking lot and the system will retrieve it again in a driverless manner.

It is worth noting that Imperium Drive CEO Koosha Kaveh said that although Fetch is driverless, it is not fully autonomous. Currently, each vehicle is equipped with a safety officer who monitors the vehicle's movements in real time from the office and takes over control remotely when necessary.

In the past 18 months, Imperium Drive has traveled more than 1,000 miles (approximately 1,609 kilometers) on multiple city roads without any collisions. The company plans to conduct further testing over the next 18 months to achieve truly fully autonomous driving, which will no longer require the supervision of a safety officer.

#The vehicles currently provided by Fetch are all electric vehicles, and users do not need to force charging before returning the vehicle. As a trial phase, the service's coverage is temporarily limited to any location within a four-mile (approximately 6.4 kilometers) radius of Milton Keynes city center in the UK.

Milton Keynes City Council has expressed support for the Fetch service, which they believe will help reduce the number of private cars on the road. The launch of this driverless car rental service marks important progress in the field of driverless technology in the UK. In the future, with the continuous development of technology, driverless vehicles are expected to become a new choice for people to travel.
