2016 Feasibility Studies Lead participant

A feasibility study into the use of radar technology for environment mapping on autonomous vehicles

1 Sep 2016 to 31 Mar 2018

Awarded
£157,723
Total cost £225,317

One of the key challenges in developing fully autonomous vehicles is the question of the navigation of driverless cars. Just as with human drivers, a vehicle must know its precise location in order to know how it should behave, where it should go next and what challenges may lie ahead. Traditional GPS technology is not accurate enough to be used in such a...
