Enabling Next-Generation Mobility Services – Bestmile

The benefits of autonomous mobility don't lie solely in autonomous vehicles, but in what they can offer when they're operated and managed collectively in an integrated ecosystem. Vehicle manufacturers and public and private transit providers are transitioning from providing commoditized products to offering value-added mobility services.

Bestmile's cloud platform empowers this transformation by allowing new and existing mobile service providers to deploy, operate quickly, and scale-free and human-driven mobility services.

Bestmile empowers mobility providers to deploy, manage, and optimize autonomous and conventional driven vehicle fleets. Its cloud platform enables the intelligent operation and optimization of standalone mobility services, handling fixed-route, and on-demand services, regardless of the vehicle brand or type. Bestmile's on-demand autonomous mobility services platform is being used daily in city centers on four continents on both pedestrian areas and open roads. Incorporated in 2014, it has global offices in San Francisco (USA) and Lausanne (Switzerland).
