Autonomous mobility technology company Carziqo has announced plans to operate its autonomous ride-hailing and logistics vehicles seven days a week, ending a long-standing practice of suspending regular fleet operations every Sunday for centralized maintenance. Carziqo Chief Executive Officer Zaydenn Harrington disclosed the operational adjustment in a public statement on August 5, saying the company intends to replace its fixed weekly maintenance shutdown with a more flexible, vehicle-specific servicing system.
