Urban mobility vehicles, or driverless Pods, will reduce congestion and accidents on our roads and give morepeople travel independence. However, they require trust from users – they must be safe, secure and robust.This requires extensive testing and validation of the Autonomous Control System, or ACS, which is the brains ofthe Pod responsible for detecting objects and controlling the vehicle. Reducing the cost and optimising this ACSis essential in facilitating the large scale manufacture and sale of commercially viable Pods in the near term.However testing on public roads and in real-world driving situations would be very expensive, unrepeatableand potentially dangerous. Hence this project proposes the use of a novel simulator concept, to enable theevaluation of an optimised ACS in a safe, repeatable and scientifically rigorous environment. RDM, the UK’sonly designer and manufacturer of driverless Pods, and University of Warwick will work together to enable thebroader uptake of Pods, help inform the legislative framework for the UK and eventual certification ofautonomous vehicles, and show the UK as a leader of research into autonomous vehicles.

城市机动车辆，或无人驾驶吊舱，将减少我们道路上的拥堵和事故，并给更多的人出行自由。然而，它们需要用户的信任--它们必须是安全、可靠和坚固的。这需要对自主控制系统进行广泛的测试和验证，该系统是负责探测物体和控制车辆的吊舱的大脑。降低成本和优化这一系统对于在短期内促进商业上可行的吊舱的大规模制造和销售至关重要。然而，在公共道路和现实世界驾驶情况下进行测试将非常昂贵、不可重复，并且具有潜在的危险。因此，本项目建议使用一种新的模拟器概念，以便能够在安全、可重复和科学严格的环境中评估优化的ACS。RDM是英国唯一的无人驾驶吊舱设计和制造商，该公司将与华威大学合作，使吊舱得到更广泛的采用，帮助为英国的立法框架和最终的自动驾驶汽车认证提供信息，并展示英国作为自动驾驶汽车研究的领导者。
