DRIVEN: Insuring, Ensuring and Exporting Fleet Wide Level 4 Connected Autonomy

Driven旨在消除自动驾驶汽车在现实世界中商业部署的根本障碍，方法是满足对实时风险评估框架的需求，以授权参与4级自动驾驶会话，并提供主动连接保险。这种将风险和动态授权集成到L4自动车辆控制系统中的做法具有变革性，其基础是分布式数据共享、学习和互联的实时风险管理，以优化整个自动驾驶车队的安全和运营。为了实现这些发展，在英国部署真实世界自主解决方案的市场领先者Oxbotica公司将领导一个包括牛津机器人研究所、XL Catlin、Nomnet、Telefonica、交通研究实验室、RACE、牛津郡议会和威斯本通信公司在内的财团。这项雄心勃勃的试验计划最终将6辆合作的L4骑士在牛津和伦敦之间的实时交通环境中表演混合的城市和高速公路行驶路线。Driven展示了自主性作为一种可行的服务，开启了新的服务模式，使英国plc拥有广泛的自主权，并加快了在英国和全球的市场实施。

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 control system is transformative, underpinned by distributed data sharing, learning and connected real-time risk management to optimise overall autonomous fleet safety and operation. To realise these developments, Oxbotica, a market leader in the deployment of real-world autonomy solutions in the UK, will lead a consortium including Oxford Robotics Institute, XL Catlin, Nominet, Telefonica, Transport Research Laboratory, RACE, Oxfordshire County Council and Westbourne Communications. The ambitious trials programme culminates in 6 co-operative L4 CAVs performing mixed urban and motorway driving routes in a live-traffic environment between Oxford and London. DRIVEN demonstrates autonomy as a viable service, unlocking new service models that enable widespread autonomy for UK plc and accelerate market implementation in UK and globally.
