Insuring, Ensuring and Exporting
Fleet Wide Level 4 Connected Autonomy
DRIVEN is an ambitious project that will see a fleet of autonomous vehicles being deployed in urban areas and on motorways.
Culminating in multiple end-to-end journeys between Oxford and London.
Objectives:
First fully integrated autonomous control systems platform for on-demand, insurance-driven, SAE Level 4 operation of a connected autonomous vehicle.
Fleet of autonomous vehicles operating multiple journeys between Oxford and London.
Connected risk management to optimise overall autonomous fleet safety and operation
Secure, distributed data sharing.
Challenges:
Reliable and robust communication across a fleet of autonomous vehicles given bandwidth constraints.
Keeping costs viable without any loss in performance.
Integrating cybersecurity, insurance and data sharing into one system.
Target Outcomes:
Deploy a fleet of autonomous vehicles in urban areas and on motorways, culminating in multiple end-to-end journeys between Oxford and London.
Deliver a robust and secure system build with insurance-in-the-loop, and allowing distributed data sharing.
