Spin, the micromobility subsidiary of Ford Motor Company, today announced an exclusive international partnership with software company Tortoise to bring Spin S-200 remotely-operated e-scooters to cities in Europe and North America in 2021. The company’s new Spin Valet platform makes it possible to remotely operate Spin’s fleet and automatically re-park scooters out of the pathway of pedestrians and other pavement or street traffic within seconds. Spin Valet combines Tortoise’s software with the front and rear-facing built-in cameras on the S-200. This technology will eventually make it possible for a rider to “hail” an e-scooter several blocks to a desired pick up location.
