LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
GoCar Tours, the inventors of GPS-guided driving tours, announced today the grand opening of its new Las Vegas location, GoCar Las Vegas. Riders in Las Vegas can choose from a variety of tours, including the bright lights and neon signs of the Las Vegas Strip as well as another side of Las Vegas only known to locals, from the trendy murals and eclectic restaurants of the Arts District to famous Vegas movie locations. In the coming months, GoCar plans to launch longer-distance tours of Red Rocks Canyon and the iconic Hoover Dam.
Additionally, GoCar Las Vegas will serve as the proving ground for cutting-edge driverless technologies, powered by Faction. Expected to launch later this year, customers will be able to reserve a GoCar, which will arrive driverless at their location, where they get in, and take control of the vehicle to begin their tour, stopping wherever they like, whenever they like. When they are finished, they can drive back to their hotels, where the GoCar EV will return driverless to GoCar Las Vegas, saving customers time and money while reducing emissions on the road.
“From the beginning, our goal was to offer our customers the cure for the common tour, giving them the freedom to drive where they want while our GPS-guided audio tour brings the city to life with rich histories and unforgettable stories,” said Kenneth Lippman, Partner of GoCar Las Vegas. “With our new all-electric fleet and the promise of upcoming driverless technology, we believe we've improved on that promise, now giving customers the added performance of an electric vehicle while reducing harmful emissions, all in a small-footprint EV that will have the ability to meet customers right in front of their hotel. There's simply no better way to explore Las Vegas."
On March 2ndbetween 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., GoCar Las Vegas and Faction will host a demonstration of the new driverless GoCar EV Sport vehicles, based on the FUV platform from Arcimoto. (NASDAQ: FUV). Equipped with Faction’s DriveLink® and TeleAssist® technologies, the driverless GoCar EV Sport combines autonomy with remote human teleoperation. Each GoCar EV Sport has a range of 100 city miles and includes the patented GoCar network technology and GoCar Mobile Tour Guide. To reserve your GoCar Tour, contact GoCar Tours Las Vegas at 702-323-4066 or reservations-lv@gocartours.com.
This represents the latest step in GoCar's joint 20 vehicle pilot program with Faction and Arcimoto. Upon successful completion of the pilot, GoCar plans to begin a phased deployment of up to an additional 290 vehicles to GoCar locations in San Francisco and San Diego, California, and later in Barcelona, Spain.
GoCar Las Vegas is the seventh GoCar location after San Francisco, San Diego, and Monterey, California; Barcelona, Spain; and Lisbon and Porto, Portugal.
