U.K. research consortium launching nation’s largest self-driving trial on public roads
StreetWise, a collaborative research project led by FiveAI, announced that it will soon begin the U.K.’s largest test of self-driving vehicles on public roads.
The consortium is part of an ambitious program launched two years ago by the U.K. government to encourage development of transformative mobility technologies that would make the country a global leader in next generation transportation modes. The goal of StreetWise is to lead research around the technology of autonomous vehicles, develop methods of validating their safety, and create models for insuring and service them.
