A Berlin-based electromobility company, coModule, presented a prototype of a fully autonomous e-bike. Based around an existing electric cargo bike, coModule’s prototype is fully controllable via smartphone, with users able to accelerate, turn and brake the bike by tilting their device – creating an interesting hybrid of mobile game and remote-controlled car. Ability to drive completely autonomously With only a few more additions – such as programming GPS coordinates – the bike is able to be driven completely autonomously in a closed environment. It uses the same Heinzmann electric motor which also powers the e-bike fleet of German postal company Deutsche Post, and is based on a Veleon electric cargo bike. Kristjan Maruste, CEO of coModule, said: “We have built an autonomous bike prototype just because we can! It demonstrates the ability of our technology and helps pave the way to the future of light electric vehicles.” Potential use The potential use cases for autonomous e-bikes, Kristjan added, are numerous and varied: “We want to start a dialogue on how autonomous bikes could be exploited – there could be bikes for street cleaners and postal workers which follow them when they need to walk, for example, or maybe bikes to deliver food and medical equipment in the war zone.” With the launch of the prototype, coModule is joining the likes of Baidu (the ‘Chinese Google’) and Ford, both of which are said to be working on their own autonomous e-bike technology.
