Continental’s braking portfolio includes suitable technologies for robo-taxis, such as the MK C1 one-box brake system. Together, these systems form the production-ready MK C1 HAD brake system for highly automated driving and driverless mobility applications. The pilot will begin in late August and last up to six months.

A new study by researchers at the University of Toronto examines the impact of the interaction between driving patterns (distance and conditions) and the mode of electricity generation (e.g., C1 is shorter than C2, which is shorter than C3). For the hydroelectric scenario, fossil energy use is 81% lower for C1 than for HWY2.
