Suzuki and Applied EV, an Australian technology company specialising in the development and design of software and electronics for autonomous vehicles, will develop a new platform called Blanc Robot for robotic electric cars.

Applied EV’s autonomous vehicle platform will be integrated with the chassis frame of the iconic Suzuki Jimny off-road car, and the electric vehicle will be managed by a central control system called Digital Backbone. Suzuki and Applied EV showed the first image of the autonomous model, squared off in view of the commercial function.
