While self-driving cars are still gradually making their way into our field of vision, a lighter and more flexible form of transportation — autonomous bicycles — has already stepped out of the laboratory and onto the streets. This “Genie Bike” from Silicon Valley is the world’s first autonomous bike integrated with AI vision algorithms, LiDAR, and high-precision maps. It can recognize over 200 object categories, has a maximum load capacity of 80 kg and a range of 100 kilometers, and supports fleet monitoring and remote take-over. Its design directly addresses the “last-mile” delivery challenge, with plans to launch a commercial pilot program in early 2026. It may become the first technological rival to food delivery riders.
