New spin-off aims to launch driverless taxis in Croatia in 2026, with the UK and Germany following a year later
Rimac has unveiled Verne, its new spin-off that aims to launch an autonomous taxi service in the UK within the next three years. The company, previously known as P3 Mobility, will launch with a radical two-seat electric hatchback designed from the ground-up to ferry people around major cities in comfort. The Verne ‘robotaxi’ majors on interior space, ergonomics and on-board entertainment.
The Verne taxi is underpinned by a new electric car platform that is said to be highly adaptable, suggesting it could spawn future variants according to regional needs. The firm said it was designed to suit “a variety of locations, on different road types, under varying weather conditions and even taking local driving styles into account”. Its autonomous driving systems were developed in partnership with Mobileye, an Israeli specialist owned by chip-making giant Intel.
