The safe deployment of autonomous and remotely operated vehicles is only possible with mature and fault-tolerant vehicle control systems where any kind of vehicle failure is taken into consideration, including overriding autonomous driving software in the event of significant computer system failures. These control systems, also called drive-by-wire (DbW)...

The V-CAL project builds on the successful DCMS 5GCAL project (2020-22), which demonstrated the autonomous and teleoperation of a 40-tonne truck at the Vantec-Nissan Manufacturing UK site. The project now aims to transition from proof-of-concept to real-world operational conditions, expanding the deployment of Connected and Autonomous Logistics (CAL) syst...

This project will take a crucial step towards enabling fully driverless autonomy - the removal of all human operators from an autonomous vehicle. Full autonomy (SAE Level 4/5), both technically and commercially, necessitates driverless operation without constant human supervision. This project aims to tackle the complex transitory step from the current re...

Oxbotica, an innovation leader in the field of robotics and machine learning will partner with QinetiQ a world leader in the provision of robotics and autonomous systems for complex environments, to deliver a breakthrough in cost effective self-driving solutions for heavy duty off-highway equipment. This will enable benefits in productivity, safety and we...

"Project Apollo will deliver a new mobility service: autonomous ride-sharing vehicles in the London Borough of Greenwich. This service is for residents or workers in areas which are poorly served by existing public transport and driven services. The Apollo pilot will be led by Addison Lee, Britain's largest-scale and most trusted private-hire operator, wh...

"_Shift -_ a collaboration between aiPod, Oxbotica, Transport for London, Gordon Murray Design, Innogy, Bosch and Imperial College, and seeks to catalyse a radical mode _shift_ from cars to integrated mobility as a service (MaaS) using autonomous pods. aiPod proposes a city-friendly urban mobility service based on fleets of small self-driving pods, that a...

"The potential economic and societal benefits of autonomous vehicles are vast, with the market expected to boom within the next three years. However, there is a critical limitation to the currently adopted sensing technologies which is being widely ignored within the industry. The current state-of-the-art sensors suffer significant degradation in poor wea...

DRIVEN aims to remove fundamental barriers to real-world commercial deployment of autonomous vehicles, by addressing the need for real-time risk assessment frameworks to authorise engagement of Level 4 autonomous driving sessions and provide pro-active connected insurance. This integration of risk and dynamic authorisation into a L4 autonomous vehicle con...

Next-generation connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV) hold huge potential gains and benefits for the transport industry and are fundamental to realising smart mobility and cities of the future. It is predicted that the CAV market could deliver cumulative benefits to the UK of £51bn by 2030, but there is significant development to be completed before thi...

Being able to precisely answer the question of "Where am I?" is critical for autonomous vehicle navigation - a function known as "localisation". There are a number of ways that a vehicle can localise: while GPS is an example of a localisation system, it is insufficiently accurate for autonomous driving systems, as well intermittently available and suscept...

Autonomous vehicles have vast economic potential for UK plc. Like any new technologies, the adoption curve can be dramatically accelerated by improving the balance between cost and benefit. However this delicate balance is often overlooked in many studies and sensor costs currently limit any reasonable business case. This proposal is about inducing a step...
