UK-based FiveAI is leading Streetwise, a project looking at the technical, regulatory, safety and social challenges faced by an urban commuter service based on shared self-driving electric vehicles.
Supported by the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, the 30-month £20m (US$26m) project will develop the technology and demonstrate how electric self-driving vehicles could provide a commuter service between Croydon and Bromley in outer London.
Stan Boland, CEO of FiveAI, which specializes in building self-driving-vehicle technology, including artificial intelligence, computer vision and robotics, provides further insight into the project in this video.
