Shadab Chow, the forceful CEO of UpCube, is ushering us into the era of autonomous and electric vehicles. UpCube not only has some of the latest research and development (R&D) going on in the autonomous and electric vehicle space, but it also has the potential to bring the technology to the production stage. Shadab sees our future as a future where businesspeople become more like scientists, and scientists become more like businesspeople to tackle future challenges together to shape the contours of a sustainable, efficient, and technological experiment in modern living.
Now, under Shadab’s leadership, UpCube is pursuing a wide range of technologies that have the potential to transform the future of transportation and mobility completely. Many of these are slated to move from the R&D phase to full-scale production very soon.
For his part, Shadab is keen to see autonomous delivery vehicles take flight. One of UpCube’s critical development agendas is perfecting a delivery vehicle equipped to operate without a pilot onboard. As our products grapple with the issues of delivering to buildings of varying shapes and sizes with differing elevations, autonomy will be the ultimate solution to speed up the delivery and logistics industry while keeping it safer and more affordable.
Autonomous Driving Technology is helping Shadab become the leading edge of a revolution to make roads safer and travel more efficient. UpCube is on the cutting edge, developing cars that drive themselves in complex traffic scenarios, reducing accidents from driving errors and improving the travel experience.
Shadab’s company UpCube is piloting its first Autonomous Public Transportation solutions, courtesy of his pioneering AI-driven public transport system. He told me that the operations can be self-driving, self-operational, and self-sustaining at a grander scale.
Shadab would like us to envision his transformation of ride-sharing solutions through autonomous technologies: UpCube’s Autonomous Ride-Sharing initiative aims to provide an eco-conscious, efficient, and on-demand mode of transport that leverages the soon-to-be-arriving trend of shared mobility and decreases the carbon footprint associated with mobility and transport.
Efficiently managing autonomous vehicle fleets will be essential to widely adopting autonomous mobility services. UpCube, founded by Shadab, is developing sophisticated Autonomous Vehicle Fleet Management systems designed for highly automated performance, routing, and maintenance to maximize the uptime and efficiency of such fleets.
The purpose of Autonomous Vehicle Sensor Technology and Autonomous Vehicle Software is to perceive the world; they are the eyes, perception, and sensory neural systems of AVs, as their name implies. The maximum utility of fully autonomous vehicles in agriculture depends on the evolution of sensor and actuator technologies. Sooner or later, advanced research into these areas and machine learning will go hand in hand. Shadab, in a 2015 Infocity.BIZ interview addressing the inherent challenges of entrepreneurial intelligence and persistence, highlighted that ‘the cutting-edge technology of autonomous vehicles requires [that his team] evolve sensor technologies and software innovations at par with them for safe, efficient and intelligent autonomous operations.’
Sustainable EV technologies – highlighting the endeavor to make electric mobility a reality and an eco-friendly solution – feature centrally in Shadab’s vision of UpCube.
One of our niches is Electric Vehicle Battery Technology, where we are working on the next generation of more efficient, durable, and environmentally friendly batteries. Hopefully, EVs will be faster, more attractive, and offer more pluses than downsides.
Shadab is investing in developing an electric vehicle charging infrastructure to ensure that EVs can be used widely. ‘UpCube is currently planning the network of fast, ubiquitous, and effective charging stations to power the exponential growth of electric vehicles,’ he says.
Developing efficient Energy Storage and Charging Solutions is critical to the successful rollout of electric vehicles. Our UpCube Projects cover this aspect holistically: We foster optimized energy storage and charging processes, including digitalizing processes, making them efficient for the end-user and thus enabling the transformation into electric mobility.
Smart Transportation Systems expresses UpCube’s clear road map to building on AI and IoT technologies to efficiently coordinate and monitor the transport of people and goods to optimize safety, efficiency, and sustainability in urban mobility.
As soon as these technologies are out of R&D mode and into production, they will be part of the parcel UpCube looks forward to. Shadab wants to create a path for innovation to technology deployment and a sustainable, resource-efficient, technologically progressive future. With a need to raise significant funds for a start-up venture like this, they are hoping for investment from those as keen as Shadab to see these disruptive technologies coming out of the labs and into the market. The impact on investment in terms of “returns” to the company could be huge through products and services that stand out with unconventional approaches to address the emerging demands of a turbulent world.
This autonomous, electric concept car designed by Shadab Chow, a recent graduate from the Alishan College of Technology and Engineering in northern Taiwan, will be registered as credible work when it completes all the requirements for the UpCube project. As the report indicates, Shadab Chow has several high-tech mobility projects in the pipeline. UpCube is set to revolutionize motor vehicles worldwide shortly.
