Plasan Introduces the StreetDrone Open Autonomy Platform to Israel
SASA, Israel, Oct. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

StreetDrone's software and hardware solutions are now available in Israel 
through an exclusive partnership with Plasan. Plasan's local distribution and 
support will provide deployments of StreetDrone's autonomous vehicles and 
testing eco-system to Israel's mobility hubs, cities, universities and 
autonomous vehicle testing facilities.

StreetDrone offers a unique range of autonomous-ready vehicles and open source 
software systems providing a fast track to autonomy for a variety of customers 
such as start-ups, innovation labs and academic/research institutions. During 
the past few years, customers have successfully integrated their own 
self-driving systems on StreetDrone's Twizy, ZOE and Nissan e-NV200 vehicles, 
allowing immediate and extensive deployment of self-driving technologies.

Supported by Plasan's capability and presence, StreetDrone is now able to offer 
its solutions to Israel's vibrant smart mobility ecosystem in various ways; via 
the deployment of autonomous fleets made up entirely of StreetDrone's vehicles; 
or by integrating StreetDrone's open source self-driving system into any 
vehicle. This flexibility and modular approach serves the varied needs of the 
many companies and institutions working in the autonomous vehicle space.

StreetDrone's have the world's safest autonomous focused, open-access 
drive-by-wire system having built their "driving robot" into the Twizy, ZOE and 
e-NV 200 vehicles. Unlike most autonomous vehicles which are enabled by hacking 
into driving systems not intended to enable self-driving, StreetDrone's 
solutions provide a definitive means to test, analyse and deploy self-driving 
technology on public roads.

With local support from Plasan and access to Plasan's cutting edge capabilities 
in vehicle design & engineering, modeling, simulation and composite materials, 
as well as local Integrated Logistics Support, customers in Israel can 
concentrate on the pieces of the puzzle that are within their own team's core 
expertize and leave the rest to the Plasan StreetDrone team.

Dani Ziv, Plasan CEO said, "We are very excited to be able to introduce 
StreetDrone's exceptional autonomous platforms to the Israeli market. This 
expands Plasan's offering into a new and rapidly expanding segment that will 
define the next generation of vehicles and we are very happy to be a part of 
Israel's leading position in this field."

StreetDrone founder, Mark Preston added, "Plasan, as the leading vehicular 
platform manufacturer in Israel, is a natural partner for us in this region. 
They allow us to offer close and intimate support to the large number of 
companies and institutions in this cutting edge ecosystem, who can benefit 
greatly from the products that StreetDrone has developed specifically for the 
purpose of accelerating R&D in autonomous vehicles and related systems."
