How far would you walk to reach a shared car?

For many people, not very far. Beyond that, they take their own car or give up.
We started from there and turned the problem around: the car comes to you.

It arrives autonomously, at low speed, with nobody on board. You drive to your destination. Then it heads back on its own to the fleet or to a charging point. At scale, we estimate a cost of around €0.50 per kilometre.

We call it Robo-Sharing. We are testing it on the road today. The commercial service will launch in 2029, with the goal of reaching 60 European cities.

To mayors, mobility councillors and public transport operators: which neighbourhood in your city needs it most? Write to us. We are designing it together with cities.

Today in Barcelona, at Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress, our CEO Luca Foresti spoke at the EIT Urban Mobility session on autonomous mobility in Europe.

Level 4 autonomous driving works, and at Niulinx we are bringing it onto real roads with Robo-sharing: the vehicle reaches the user on its own, the user drives to destination, and the vehicle returns autonomously to the fleet.

To move from pilots to scale, Luca outlined three needs. Support from the European Commission to scale the technology across cities. Commitment from the entire value chain, from OEMs to service providers working alongside city administrations. And backing from national governments, both in funding and in developing the service on their territories.

Europe has the research, the industry and the talent to lead. Now it needs to build it together.

A car that comes to you on its own, with no one on board. How much trust does it take for a city, a regulator and a citizen to say yes?

On 28 October our CEO Luca Foresti closed the day at Codemotion’s Tech Lead Summit in Milan. He spoke on the panel on innovation in the age of agents, moderated by Andrea Ferlito.

The common thread was trust: with customers, the market and the community, and inside the company. For anyone building L4 autonomous driving in Europe, it’s an everyday question.

Trust is designed. That’s why Robo-sharing uses autonomous driving only when no one is on board, at up to 30 km/h. That choice is what makes the safety case certifiable.
Trust is earned on the road, through testing, data and transparency with the administrations we work with.

Thanks to Codemotion, Mara Marzocchi and the whole team for the invitation, and to our fellow panelists for the conversation.

A shared car that drives itself to the person who booked it and, once the trip is over, goes back to park on its own.

That is the goal of the Memorandum of Understanding Niulinx has signed with auting, Italy's first peer-to-peer car sharing platform. Private cars sit idle for most of the day. Auting already lets owners share them with other users, and Level 4 autonomous driving can make that sharing far simpler.

The path is gradual. It starts with a closed pilot community, such as the residents of a single apartment building, where safety, user acceptance and economic sustainability can be measured. Next come public-road trials under Italy's Smart Road decree and, once the vehicles obtain EU type-approval, a stable nationwide service. Each new phase starts only when safety is assured.

Luca Foresti and Ludovico De Giudici sealed the agreement with a handshake in Rome, at PAVE Europe's autonomous driving event.

It is the same logic behind our Robo-sharing model: the car drives itself when nobody is on board, to reach the user and then return.

Which community would you like to see try it first? An apartment building, a campus, a neighbourhood?

“Sarebbe come esigere che il wi-fi funzionasse con il cavo.”

Con questa immagine il nostro CEO Luca Foresti, intervistato da Tgr Rai Lombardia, commenta il modo in cui il nuovo Codice della Strada tratta la guida autonoma. L’auto può guidarsi da sola, a patto che a bordo ci sia sempre un conducente. Quel conducente ne resta responsabile anche quando a guidare è il sistema.

Il testo trasmesso dal MIT al Parlamento riconosce per la prima volta il veicolo a guida autonoma, ed è un passo importante. Così come è scritto, però, rende molto difficile avviare servizi su strada pubblica. Nel Robo-sharing che sviluppiamo la guida autonoma entra in gioco proprio quando a bordo non c’è nessuno: l’auto raggiunge l’utente da sola, fino a 30 km/h, e da sola torna alla flotta.

Il percorso parlamentare è appena iniziato e porteremo la nostra esperienza nelle audizioni parlamentari sul nuovo Codice, perché questa tecnologia possa crescere in Italia. Il servizio completo è nel primo commento.

Nella proposta del nuovo codice della strada troppe restrizioni, dicono gli operatori. Il rischio e' spingere le compagnie all'estero. L'esempio di una startup del Politecnico di Milano.

This week we welcomed a delegation of 25 officials from the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and the Zhongguancun Science Park to our headquarters in Cernusco sul Naviglio. They are in Italy for a study programme on how innovation systems are built and managed.

The theme of their visit is close to our own story. Niulinx grew out of more than twenty years of research at Politecnico di Milano. Today over 70 engineers are turning that work into a Level 4 autonomous driving stack designed for European cities, tested on public roads in Italy, with Germany and Spain next.

We talked about what it takes to bring research from a university lab onto public roads: the bond between academia and industry, the role of public institutions and investors, the regulatory path to L4 homologation in the EU, and robo-sharing as a European route to autonomous mobility.

Thank you to our guests for their curiosity and their questions, and to Asia Promotion for organising the visit.

La differenza tra L2 e L4, spiegata bene.

Quando si parla di guida autonoma, sotto la stessa parola finiscono tecnologie molto lontane tra loro. Conviene fare chiarezza, perché da questa distinzione dipendono regole, responsabilità e tempi.

Livello 2. L’auto tiene la corsia, accelera e frena da sola. Il conducente resta al volante, guarda la strada, deve poter intervenire in ogni istante e risponde di tutto ciò che accade. È assistenza alla guida, già presente su molte auto in commercio.

Livello 4. Il veicolo guida da solo, in un’area e in condizioni definite, senza nessuno a bordo. Nessuna persona è pronta a riprendere il controllo. La guida, e con essa la responsabilità, è affidata al sistema e a chi lo sviluppa e lo gestisce.

Per questo un L2 può circolare a normativa vigente. Un L4 ha bisogno di una legge.

Il nuovo Codice della Strada, ora all’esame del Parlamento, riconosce per la prima volta il veicolo che si guida da solo. È un passo importante. Restano due nodi da sciogliere: chiede comunque una persona a bordo e le lascia la responsabilità anche quando non guida.

Il Robo-sharing di Niulinx è un servizio L4. L’auto raggiunge l’utente da sola, a 30 km/h al massimo e senza nessuno a bordo. L’utente la guida fino a destinazione, poi l’auto torna da sola in flotta. Alcuni Paesi europei si sono già dati le regole per farlo. L’Italia ha l’occasione di farlo adesso, con questa riforma.

Quanto costa usare l’intelligenza artificiale? Ogni anno, per lo stesso modello, tra 5 e 10 volte meno dell’anno prima.

Il nostro CEO Luca Foresti è partito da questo dato nel suo keynote all’evento AIGAB 2026. Se l’AI è alla portata di tutti, il vantaggio competitivo sta in ciò che resta scarso: il giudizio, la responsabilità, i dati originali, il mondo fisico, la fiducia delle persone. Il mondo fisico è proprio quello in cui lavoriamo noi, portando l’intelligenza artificiale su strada.

E nella vostra attività, qual è la risorsa che nessun algoritmo può replicare?
