Autonomous ways to get around

Autonomous ways to get around

Cars can mean a lot of different things to different people. Over time, they've been thought of as everything from horseless carriages to hot rods, and now we're starting to think of them as smart, connected, and even someday, autonomous ways to get around.

Yet another way to consider the automobile is to think of it as a platform for technology. Each step of the car's evolution has represented the potential for remarkable moments among engineers and innovators.

One exceptional innovation is the technological services provided in cars. Bolt is an example of this.

Bolt (then called Taxify) was founded by Markus Villig (then only 19 years old, a high-school student) in 2013, but made its way to Africa in 2016.  It is also the leading European transportation platform providing ride-hailing and scooter-sharing services. The company’s mission is to make urban travel easier, quicker and more reliable. The company struggled until business in Africa began to grow. The continent now makes up about half of Bolt’s business. Today, Bolt operates in more than 100 cities and 30 countries. More than 25 million passengers have used Bolt to take a ride since it was rolled out.

For drivers who want to use the bolt app, they go through a procedure This is a 5-minute procedure. Once you meet all the stipulated requirements and provide the above records, you need to sign up on the Bolt platform to create a driver's account. You must upload all the vital documents, including your car documents, during the sign-up process. Doing so ensures that your application does not take too long to be processed. Upon successful completion of the application, you will receive an email regarding the upcoming training and the process of signing up for the same. Once your account is ready, which is between one to three days, you can start your new job. 

Bolt operates on an app, which enables people to hail rides from their smartphones. The application is available for Android, iOS and Windows Phone. Riders must choose a payment method: cash, credit card or mobile carrier billing before they can use the service. The customer requests a ride and confirms their pick-up location. Once the driver accepts the trip, the customer will be able to see the driver's name and car details. After the ride is completed both drivers and the rider can rate each other. Taxify rates are fair and favorable. With Bolt, there are no hidden fees or monthly charges. There are two ways in which clients get to pay for their rides on Bolt cars. These include Cash Bolt in-app payment (card payments) or cash. The payment period for the drivers runs from Monday 00:00 to the following Sunday 23:59 when the balance statements are issued, and payments are made within 1-2 days. You can contact Bolt GHANA anytime. 

 Bolt Ghana has continued to provide its customers with top-notch transport services and has proven that they are here to stay! The Company is geared towards providing travel options that are fast, easy, safe, reliable, and convenient. After familiarizing yourself with the requirements for becoming a driver, it is time to make your application and start your journey.  The average monthly earnings of a Bolt driver in Accra are 4000 Ghana cedi. Clients pay you in cash or via Bolt. The payout to your bank account every week. From the final price per order, Bolt charges an average of 15% commission. They can help you match with their partner fleets or rental companies who offer competitive rates on vehicles that are accepted on their platform. Instead of chasing down a taxi on a street—or calling and waiting half an hour for a car service—e-hail app users are able to hail a car from any location and have it arrive within minutes.

Rude, aggressive, and disruptive passengers are weeded out because drivers can also rate their customers. Consistently low ratings or reports of unsafe behavior toward drivers can cause the deactivation of an account.

Unlike yellow cab taxi drivers who work 12-hour shifts—or black car drivers who are scheduled by dispatchers—Bolt and other e-hail drivers enjoy greater freedom and flexibility. Bolt and E-Hail apps guarantee safety to taxi drivers. This is because transactions are cashless, hence drivers are not faced with unpaid fares from clients. Additionally, the driver does not have to carry huge amounts of money, which may make him/her a target for robbers.

According to relevant studies, Bolt is less expensive than traditional taxis. This is because, unlike traditional taxis where the fare is estimated based on distance, E-Hailing apps use metered rates to generate fares.

With all this advantage and technological implementations, what are you waiting for?
