The maiden black-owned fleet of self-driving pods is here to augment healthcare delivery services to people who need them. To be released later this year, these driverless pods would mobilize and facilitate health services such as COVID-19 testing, flu testing, and Intravenous (IV) therapy. The automated vehicles will also expedite other services which can be brought to customers at their convenience.
The Nigerian national, Frederick Akpoghene is the founder of a black-owned innovative technology firm based in Miami, Florida. JéGO Technologies Incorporated is into designing and manufacturing autonomous vehicles including self-driving pods that make it easy to connect consumers with services and products on the go.
JéGO’s self-driving vehicles were initially focused on healthcare. However, with retail services rapidly changing and COVID-19 crushing more businesses, JéGO seeks to provide a new commerce infrastructure powered by Autonomous Pods connected to a Software as a Service (SAAS) mobile platform. By logging on to the app, JéGO users can use the app to find local service providers. Customers can as well book a time and place, and have their vendors arrive right when they need it.
“It’s clear now more than ever that people need and continue to need services on the go, starting with COVID testing. Join us in changing the world by building a new commerce infrastructure powered by JéGO Pods. We’re here to ensure the present and future growth of businesses and access to crucial care services throughout the pandemic and beyond’’, Akpoghene notes.
Frederick Akpoghene has gained over 15 years of experience in technology development and software engineering. He is optimistic that JéGO Technologies will lead to more money flowing into local communities as opposed to it flowing outwards to large corporations.
JéGO Technologies Inc. steers away from a myopic view of mainstream technology and aims to build an ecosystem that benefits communities. This intervention is to help realise the initial projection of the global autonomous market reaching $367 billion by 2030.
Driverless vehicles rely on sensors, actuators, complex, algorithms, as well as powerful processors to execute software. They create and maintain a map of their surrounding based on a variety of sensors built into several parts of the vehicle.
Self-driving vehicles use their radar sensors to monitor the position of nearby vehicles. Their video cameras also detect traffic lights, read road signs, look for pedestrians and track other vehicles.
JéGO has signed multiple partnerships with organizations that want to use their technology. These organizations include Popcom, BatteryXchange, Miami-based Urgent Care Clinic, Large tech corporations, several city/Government entities, sports organizations, plus early Investors ranging from Angel Investors to Wall street. JéGO is set to pilot its self-driving pods in Miami.
JéGO application users are yet to experience the convenience of having products and services delivered at their preferred locations, in safe, sustainable, and secure autonomous pods.
