Bestmile expands footprints in Florida

Bestmile's platform has supported fleets on three continents since 2014, including the first autonomous fleets to operate on city streets as part of public transport networks. The Bestmile platform includes a complete suite of operator control systems and supports mobile applications that can be easily configured, and the platform's APIs can be used to integrate operator tools and applications. The technology is cloud-based and can manage multiple fleets and locations, and offers multiple points of integration with the operator, vehicle, driver, traveller and external data. The company has offices in Lausanne and San Francisco.

The startup is now further expanding its footprint as the recently announced partnership with the Orlando based Beep has presented.
