Tech start-up creates self-driving SCOOTERS that can drive themselves directly to commuters and then back to charging points when the journey is over
The technology could mean scooters and bikes aren't left scattered around
They would return themselves to charging points or train stations, for example
Uber and a company called Tortoise are working on the self-driving technology
자율주행 스쿠터 자율주행 스쿠터는 도시의 교통 공유 네트워크를 개선하기 위해 고안된 기술 개발의 산물이다. 캘리포니아에 본사를 둔 스타트업 '토끼'는 자전거와 스쿠터가 누군가 자전거를 사용한 후 집으로 직접 운전하는 자율주행 기술을 연구하고 있다. 그리고 택시행 앱인 우버는 올해 초 같은 목표를 향해 노력하고 있다고 발표했다. 다음 달에 출시될 예정인 이 계획은 이미 전 세계에 존재하는 임시 자전거, 스쿠터, 쎄그웨이 채용 계획의 일환이다. 그것은 알려지지 않은 곳에 방치된 자전거와 스쿠터들의 수가 줄어들고, 사용하지 않을 때 충전소나 바쁜 곳으로 돌아간다는 것을 의미할 수 있다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Chul Hwang, conpaper editor, curator |

Self-driving scooters could soon be whizzing around without riders in a tech development designed to improve cities' transport-sharing networks.
A California-based start-up, Tortoise, is working on self-driving technology with which bikes and scooters drive themselves home after someone has used them.
The self-driving scooter technology would drive it back to a charging point or a transport hub if someone has left it somewhere it's not likely to be needed
And taxi-hailing app Uber announced earlier in the year that it was working towards the same goal.
Set to launch next month, the initiative is a progression for the temporary bike, scooter and Segway hire schemes which already exist around the world.
It could mean fewer of the bikes and scooters are left lying around in obscure places and that they all return to charging stations or busy areas when not in use.
California-based startup, Tortoise, is working on the technology and said the scooters would drive themselves on uncomplicated routes where there aren't too many people
